Hypocrite
Exactly what do Kawasaki have to gain by there being any more SX races this year? It’s in their interest to draw a line under it right now.
Shuuure m8 I'll risk my life to go racing a month or two sooner than what I need to, no problem. My life isn't that important anyway.
Right.
The fact that people, some of you on here for example, doesn't take this seriously enough and that's why people are getting infected. It blows my mind you can't put the dots together.
And get off Kenny's back. I'm sure he will go racing if the racing starts up but don't blame the guy for not wanting to risk his life even more than he already is when the question is asked.
PICK.
What country I'm from doesn't matter in the slightest. Do you think a virus cares about where I'm from? We have idiots over here also that doesn't take it seriously enough.
2. Not that many people have had it when you look at the country as a whole. Less then 1%
3. not sure how you jump from most new cases to mortality rate is declining?
4. more people have died from it during quarantine then the flu.

The latest reports I’ve seen say that in NYC there are 10X as many people with the disease than the official count. That is consistent with the estimate for the true mortality rate across all groups of people being somewhere around 1%, which is exactly what the mortality rate estimate has for months. That number has nothing to do with how many people got tested and are reported in the case count...
The mortality rate may be as low as 0.5-0.6%, but it could be above 1%, we aren’t sure yet. However, what I can tell you is that this virus is 2-3 times as contagious as the flu, and the flu has a mortality rate of 0.1%, so this virus is at least 5X more deadly than the flu once you get it, and more likely 10X more deadly. I’m not sure if the chance of death changes with age as much for the flu, but I’m not sure why it wouldn’t, since very few young people die from that as well.
By the way, if that 10X the official case count statistic from NYC is true across the entire country, Then about 5% of the total US population would have been infected already. We need somewhere between 50-70% of the population to have had this thing to get herd immunity, so we’d have a longgggg way to go for that. Also, the number of cases in other areas of New York outside NYC did not have so many more true cases than reported ones, and this is all based on antibody tests that were performed, so we should expect that across the country less than 5% of people have already had it.
2. This same argument can be made for every other cause of death. How does the same argument not apply to the flu?
3. There are reasons to believe other factors skew the death count to be too low. For example, we just found out some people in California died from Covid weeks Earlier than we thought anyone in the US had. Their cause of death wasn’t listed as covid initially. Anyone who died from it here before it was such a known issue was likely labeled as deaths due to pneumonia or influenza.
Taking all of that together, I don’t think you have much of an argument there.
I don't have an agenda on this, just sharing my thoughts. It feels like the general plan for flattening the curve is in knowing that we will indeed all catch this but not all at once.
What if they did something like, anyone under 30 (and essential workers) can go out and about, mingle life their life’s like they used to and some people will get sick and the hospitals won’t be overwhelmed because only a percentage of the population is out exposing themselves. Then after a month, lift it to anyone 40 years-old and under can go out and after another month 50 and under. Hopefully by the time it gets to the elderly it will be easily handled. Just a uneducated thought, I am by no means a doctor.
We can't all get it at the same time. Health care wouldn't even be close to handling it. We need to stall as long as we can.
Assuming the outdoor series happens in some fashion, Kawasaki will be going for their fourth straight title in that series. Don't you think it's in their best interest to finish supercross before the outdoors starts, regardless of the result, to have a rider who isn't worried about ruining two championships with one mistake?
And you say my comment is so dumb?!🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
