Coronavirus In Numbers

Coronavirus in Numbers…and Why We Really Shouldn’t Panic.

BE AWARE NOT ALARMED

So, here it goes:
80,000 People are Sick with Coronavirus at the Moment
of which 77,000 are in China.
If you contract Coronavirus, this still is not a cause for alarm, because:
81% of the Cases are MILD
14% of the Cases are MODERATE
and only 5% of the Cases are CRITICAL

This means that if you do get the virus, you are most likely to recover from it.

This means that if you are under 50 years of age, and not living in China, you are more likely to win the lottery which is a 1 in 45,000,000 chance!

NOW, Let’s take one of the worst days so far – the 10th of February. 108 persons in CHINA died of Coronavirus.
BUT, on the same day
26,283 people died of Cancer
24,641 people died of Heart Disease
4,300 people died of Diabetes
and on that day, suicide, unfortunately, took more lives than the virus did, by 28 times.

Moreover, mosquitoes kill 2,740 people every day, HUMANS kill 1,300 fellow humans every day and snakes kill 137 people every day.

Our advice is simple! We should cherish life every single day. We should care for our lives always, and not only when we are afraid of some virus or other hitting our shores…oh, and don’t forget to wash your hands.👏
