    Finance boy.

    How many die if 10% of the world's population becomes infected with a virus that has a 2% mortality rate?

    How many die if 10% of the world's population becomes infected with a virus that has a .002% mortality rate?

    Show me you have basic math skills and haven't been ****ing peoples finances up your whole life.

    Do you know math? None of what you posted makes a lick of sense.

    Your not capable of doing the math on that right now are you? At this point, I just feel bad. Enjoy your night broski, no more drinks.

    Took me a bit to wrap my head in your questions, but I'll answer.

    First off, The Black Plague? Research it. We basically lost half of our population.

    Second, We are at less than 2% Mortality rate now, and those numbers have been going WAY down.

    Third, my entire career is based on helping people out financially. I am an *******, but I know that I want to treat people well. It is my job, and I've been doing it 24 years.

    Let's assume the numbers go down to .002%

    How many die if 10% of the population gets infected with a virus that has a .002% mortality rate? Over 1.5 million people. You can not give a **** all you want, a lot of people are going to die from this and you shouldn't be responding to people who are high risk about how much you don't give a ****.

    Regardless, you're clearly toasted. Here's 12 minutes of my grandfather's favorite comedian, no more drinky drinks.

    It's ok, sweetpea. Call me whatever. I make money and work roughly 20 hours. That's this interesting thing about being smart, you can figure out how to use it to your advantage.

    Life can be used in your favor. Don't hate people that figured it out better than you did.

    After reading this latest fattypalooza I can only surmise that fatty survived the black plague and isn't concerned about a silly virus with a 2% mortality rate so his weekend get together will go on as scheduled with a 20% discount on catering from his high school buddy. o_O

    We need to protect Deckard and Glynch. Without Glynch who will insult me as a "contented moderate" and carry on the glorious Worker's Revolution? Without Deckard how will we hear long rambling stories about what it was like to be a Hippie in Houston in the late 60's and how to court women with an owl?

    These are Clutchfans treasures and our institutional memory..

    Kids like to go against the grain and wear it like a badge of honor for attention.

    Yeah ofc it's mostly the young with a sense of yolo invincibility, I'll do what I want regardless of the mostly indirect domino consequences. Very surprising to hear that attitude from an older adult, much less one who smokes/drinks/poor diet and less than optimal general health?!

    Yikes death wish.

    It is hard to be couped up - we are working from home right now and productivity has fallen off the map - and having kids home for the next 3-6 weeks makes it even noisier and more difficult......one thing we have found though is taking walks ....and enjoying the outside a little bit helps fill the day, as does Video Games for the kids.

    This whole thing sucks, and many people are going to die, doesn't matter the statistics.....probably everyone here will know someone in the end that died from this.....

    It is just a big pile of suckage.

    It's a friend of a friend of friend, distant relative.

    Even then you do not wish it upon them.
