7 Facts About Posture

How can a disease with 1% mortality shut down Canada? There are two problems with this question, 1) It neglects the law of large numbers, and... 2) It assumes that one of two things happen; you die or you are 100% fine. Canada has a population of 37,742,154. If one percent of the population dies, that's 377,422 people dead. Three hundred thousand people dead would monkey wrench the economy no matter what. That more than doubles the number of annual deaths all at once. The second bit is that people keep talking about deaths. Deaths, deaths, deaths. Only one percent die! Just one percent! One is a small number! No big deal, right? What about the people who survive? For every one person who dies: - 19 more require hospitalization - 18 of those will have permanent heart damage for the rest of their lives - 10 will have permanent lung damage - 3 will have strokes - 2 will have neurological damage that leads to chronic weakness and loss of coordination - 2 will have neurological damage that leads to loss of cognitive function So now all of a sudden, that "but it's only 1% fatal!" becomes: - 377,422 dead - 7,171,009 hospitalized - 6,793,588 people with permanent heart damage - 3,774,215 people with permanent lung damage - 1,132,265 people with strokes - 754,843 people with muscle weakness - 754,843 people with loss of cognitive function This is what the folks who keep on about "only 1% dead, what's the big deal?" don't get. It's not just 1% dead. Imagine the cost to our country, Imagine the clogged hospitals. Imagine all the loved ones who die or suffer health effects the rest of their lives. So please: - wear your mask (and OVER your nose and mouth please) - wash your hands regularly - stay 2m apart. We can beat this Canada!

This seems to have gone slightly viral. Rightfully so. I got this from my friend Bruce, a veteran himself.
