You gotta love your chances then!
If you believe that the only people who have the virus are the ones who tested positive, the death rates are as follows....
World - 4%
US - 3.7%
Montana - 1.4%
Missoula - .62%
Bozeman - .17%
So right now in Bozeman, the "hotspot" of the state, I have a 99.83% chance of being alive. At least in regards to this deadly virus. Gotta say, I can't think of anything in life that I wouldn't love the odds of 99.83%.
Of course these rates are likely lower as it's pretty likely that more people have had it than just the tiny fraction of people who tested positive.
Go live your best life! :thumb:

Exactly the way I look at it, ILTC. No WAY you could be from Bozeman with those kind of smarts....

EverettGriz said:To a large extent, I agree with ILTC's comments. However, his post does ignore the impact of the law of large numbers.
Let's say they hold a game at WaGRIZ with 25,000 people. If half of those in attendance were to contract Covid and using a .62% death rate (I haven't researched to determine the validity of that number), 77 people in the stadium that day would die. Nearly 500 GRIZ fans dead by the end of the season. And of course, a fair percentage more would need to be hospitalized. Still willing to chance it?
Maybe so, but also consider this: If each of those who caught the virus infected 3 more people, we're talking nearly 37,000 cases and 230 deaths from each game.
Now, obviously these numbers are overly simplified. But that was done purposely to highlight the point that while the percentages sound small, when you start talking the death of real people, they get much larger in a hurry.
96, lets be realistic about this. Football fans would wear masks only part of the time and you can forget the social distancing. It won’t happen.go96griz said:EverettGriz said:To a large extent, I agree with ILTC's comments. However, his post does ignore the impact of the law of large numbers.

First, they aren't going to have 25,000 in attendance. The number would be closer to half that with season ticket holders, students and parents and no additional tickets. Second, the statement that if half of those in attendance got the virus seems exceptionally high considering masks will be worn, social distancing will be enforced as much as possible, and other cleaning measures are in place. No issue with anything else about your argument.
