Happy to hear your suggestions
I had cancer over 15 years ago. Why does that increase my chance of dying of corona by a factor 6?
Maybe add a disclaimer as well with the good points you're making in your replies in this thread?
That is because it is based on https://informationisbeautiful.net/visualizations/covid-19-coronavirus-infographic-datapack/
According to this post, someone without any pre-existing condition has a average death rate of 0.9%, while with a cancer, according to this webpage, your rate is 5.6%.
What would you put as a disclaimer?
The comment you made to Dimmi, about being responsible even if you're not likely to die from the virus. You don't want people to stop following precautions just because they saw a prediction on your website.
Your calculator asks if you ever had cancer in the past while the data you mention is about Existing Conditions.
I made some change on the web-app. Let me know, if there is anything else I can improve on it. Your suggestion are more than welcome.
write me to michaelfabing@hotmail.com, and I am happy to take your advice and more to improve this web-app.
Your suggestion are more than welcome. Really appreciate.
"Did you had..." is not correct English. Would change it to "Do you have..."
80 y/o, male, Cardiovascular disease & Diabetes: Your estimated chance to die if infected by the coronavirus is: 99.0%
C'mon...
Happy to have a chat with you and discuss the mathematics behind it
Nice.
Let's imaging I see a fraction of percent that I'll die. That's why I worry less and decide to go out. Unfortunately, I get infected for that reason. I'll have to go to a hospital and the load to the health care system gets higher. If it's the moment the load is over the maximum capacity, someone less fortunate may and will die.
You see what I mean? Don't get me wrong, please.
That's correct. It is about being responsible, but not infecting other people that would be vulnerable. At the moment of writing, there is 0 case of someone under 9 years to have died from it, therefore kids can have the virus and not showing any sign of symptom. But, when visiting their grand-parents, they could transmit it to their grand-parents, who because of their age and pre-existing conditions might not survive.
And the more people will get it, the more people will end up in hospital, which soon will be saturated and won't be able to offer the necesary care to the patient.
The virus being lethal is one thing, the spreading of it is another one.
