Half of deaths are over age 70 and most have other illnesses. https://www.cebm.net/covid-19/global-covid-19-case-fatality-rates/ The reason you get 40% of closed cases or 20% all cases is that the number of cases is vastly undercounted because most asymptomatic and mild cases are not tested or counted. Only one out of 60 cases in the USA are counted. https://www.floridatoday.com/story/news/2020/04/09/german-study-u-s-only-detecting-1-6-covid-19-cases/5120978002/ I'm not saying that self replicating agents (natural, engineered, or gray goo) aren't threats, but covid-19 is not one of them. It is a wake up call to show just how unprepared and vulnerable we are. ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T219f799b8db5224f-Mff4ff769151eb59deceb6ff1 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
