Threats to Americans, ranked (by actual threat instead of media hype)

Any article that tries equivalize the flu and Ebola in terms of threat level or virulence is simply nonsense.

An article that goes further to mark "Global Warming" as a greater threat to mankind in the short term than Ebola simply explodes the bullshiat detector.

 

How "equavalizing" Ebola and walking into an all-black bar on Halloween wearing a Ku Klux Klan outfit?

 

So why cry over gun deaths then, dumb ass?

 

Let's say the odds of getting Ebola here are 0.1%, and the odds of then dying by it are 70%.
0.001 * 0.7 = 0.0007.
Odds of catching the flu here are... say 10%, and the odds of then dying by it are... I dunno, 10%.
0.1 * 0.1 = 0.01.

 

Once again Mr. Moron can't answer your direct question.

Maybe he said 100% die since he may still be mourning the passing of Judy Garland .... nothing else would explain his idiotic answer.

 

Your obsession with Judy Garland is troubling.

Perhaps this image of your father may shed some light on the problem.

 

In the U.S. the percentage of people who contract the flu who die from the flu in any given year during the recent decades is 0.0045%

From 5% to 20% of the population gets the flu each year.

So let's try out the equation:
Odds of dying from the flu:
20% * 0.0045% = .2 * 0.000045 = 0.00009 = 0.009%

I will note that flu mostly kills the young and elderly that have other medical issues.

Ebola kills healthy people - 70% of them who contract it.

 

I'll bet you want to be an insurance agent when you grow up.

 

So what are the odds today of contracting Ebola? I was being generous with 0.1%.
