Jeez, another fuсking drama queen.

Here is a nice little stat for you.
Scientists use a variable called R0 to estimate how many people a sick person is likely to infect.

These values are as follow:
Seasonal flu : 1.3
Coronavirus : 2-3.11
HIV : 3.6-3.7

So far there are 600ish cases of coronavirus in UK and approx 100,000 cases of the more contagious HIV.

So if you ignore the medical advice given pertaining to both of these infections, you are currently 1,300+ times more likely to come into contact with a person infected with HIV than you are with a coronavirus infected person and have a higher chance of contracting HIV.

Let that sink into your tiny little mind before getting all hysterical.
---------------------------------------------------------------

Again you seem to think that because you failed to grasp the simple premise of 'ignoring medical advice pertaining to the infections' I was spreading misinformation.

--------------------------------------------------------------

"and have a higher chance of contracting HIV."

Two liars caught now, Going Loco will be next.

Quoting part of my comment out of context is catching a liar is if?

FFS Have a word with yourself, then do the maths.

Taking my whole comment IN CONTEXT.
600 cases of Corvid-19 in a population of 66m means you have a 1 in 110,000 chance of actually coming into contact with a coronavirus infected person. That is an undeniable fact.

100,000 cases of HIV in the same 66m populace means you have a 1 in 660 chance of coming into contact with a person infected with HIV. This is also an undeniable fact.

Therefore by refusing to adhere to or ignoring medical advice pertaining to the individual infections a person having unprotected seх and/or sharing needles would mean you have a higher chance of contracting HIV than you do of contracting coronavirus from someone coughing on you.

Now go away you fuсking imbecile.

Only an absolute mongoloid would still be trying to defend your absurd line of thinking.

Congratulations on proving that once more.

Respond to this posted several hours ago and multiple times because you are trying your best to ignore it:

Gini, I'm going to try and explain this one more time for your sake:

You wrote, and this is a direct quote:

"So if you ignore the medical advice given pertaining to both of these infections, you are currently 1,300+ times more likely to come into contact with a person infected with HIV than you are with a coronavirus infected person and have a higher chance of contracting HIV."

Here's why this line of thinking is redundant:

1) Choosing to be ignorant or being unaware of medical advice are two different things. General knowledge about how to protect oneself against HIV has been hammered into people since the early 1980's.

2) Covid-19 is highly contagious and is most commonly transmitted through the water vapour that comes with exhalation, catching Covid-19 is much more likely, whether you choose to ignore the advice given or not, whether you are simply unaware of it or not.

You can follow all the advice about how to avoid contracting Covid-19 but in all likelihood, unless you self isolate and do not come into contact with other human beings your chances of catching it sky-rocket. Choosing not to sleep with or shares needles with others or to use a condom is much easier than choosing to stay at home and lock yourself away.

If you STILL cannot understand that the contagiousness and transmission properties of the two viruses make them incomparable and this dataset is absolutely idiotic then again, good luck to you.

Oh wait, you can't.

And when I said "redundant" that was being polite, it's actually insane.

Yes they will, my wife has a very serious lung condition called COPD. If she gets infected it is 95% certain she will die but you don't see me whining like a little fuсking girl the way you are.

I missed this comment earlier and now your weirdly determined stance to refute my pure logic makes a lot more sense, the article we disagreed on was giving you something to hold onto, something to remain positive about.

I genuinely wish your wife the best possible fortune in avoiding this virus, no doubt extreme levels of isolation will be required to ensure that and I would imagine that means you being away from her too in case you happened to catch it yourself so that can't be easy either.

Arguing about stuff with strangers on the internet can be hilarious and a lot of fun but it's certainly put into perspective when lives are at stake.

Good luck to her and you both, genuinely and seriously.
