Covid 19 increasing despite vaccinations

Herd Immunity and final Crude Mortality Rate

Crude mortality rate is not really applicable during an ongoing epidemic.

And to reach herd immunity for COVID-19 and effectively end the epidemic, approximately two thirds (67%) of the population would need to be infected. As of May 1, New York City is at 20%, based on the antibody study findings.

Therefore, the crude mortality rate has the potential to more than triple from our current estimate, reaching close to 1,000 deaths per 100,000 population (1% CMR), and close to 300 per 100,000 (0.3% CMR) in the population under 65 years old, with 89% of these deaths (267 out of 300) occurring in people with a known underlying medical condition (including obesity).

This statement from a New York survey indicates that only 300-267 fit and well people will die of Covid19.  So 33 younger active people in 100,000 will die which is just not worth worrying about as everyone runs the risk of dying by other illnesses or traffic, tripping, swimming, climbing accidents  at any time and really it is up to God to decide who will live and who will die.

  • Denis,  I am also a believing Christian and know full well that I shall be judged at the time of resurrection. But I believe and am sure that God has told me not to hang on to life here on earth but rather consider the needs of others. 

    Does my extension of life here benefit my neighbour, the third world or my family?  If not, why am I being forced to live with age related diseases such as rheumatic bones and forgetfulness.  Better that I depart this world with dignity and thus release a food aid gift to the poor.

    It could be that it is the huge increase in the world's population and their need for heat, food and cars that is causing global warming!
