Mikhail Liebestein Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 This is fun: https://www.qcovid.org/Calculation So apparently my risk of dying from COVID is 1 in 35,000 (if I even catch it) and they didn't even ask about my high quality diet, fitness training and not being deficient in vitamins. While the risk of dying in a road accident in any year in the UK approaches 1 in 20,000, the lifetime risk is 1 in 240. Must stop driving and put the car in the garage for the next 3 years.

Grumpy Owl Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Absolute risk (a) Absolute risk with no risk factors (b) Relative risk (a/b) COVID associated death 0.0052% 1 in 19231 0.0029% 1 in 34483 1.7931 COVID associated hospital admission 0.0809% 1 in 1236 0.0408% 1 in 2451 1.9828 Thats what I get. So basically there is more chance of me matching 4 balls on the National Lottery than dying from Covid!

Anti Facts Sir Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Apparently there's a 100% chance of me dying. Not sure what to make of this bombshell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
