I heard the virus carrier could get a sudden death while they are in their daily activities. 

It would be dangerous if they are driving vehicle. The vehicle accidents could injures the others.

I also heard that the moon is made of green cheese. Could you please supply a credible source for what you heard?

Any post that starts with "I heard" is not going to go over well on this thread happy.png.

Today i was restricted to enter a shop. As my temperature was 99.14 F recorded.

I stayed outside in the car. Thinking about the virus and where I got infected. But then i touched my ankle and it was normal. So I went back home, checked my temp. and it was normal too and no symptoms. Today first time i took this virus seriously!

May I ask your age and circumstances?

Where was this?  There are lots of people, especially ones who take thyroid medication, that have up to 99.5 degrees as their "normal" temperature.  Next time ask for a manager.  Mine generally runs a full degree lower, so I would not really have that problem, but imagine if they tried to block me for 97.6, my normal body temperature...

If someone stops you for anything under 100 degrees, chances are they have just not been trained correctly.  100.4 is considered the normal "threshold" for infections/illnesses.

Passing 7 million cases worldwide...

0.1% of the 7 billion population of the world have been infected.

It was a general store. Maybe they were not trained. Or might they were told not to give permission to any above 99F.

Just enquiring where this took place, if you are in the 'at risk' group etc.

0.006% of the population of the world.

Approximately 150,000 people die every day. Let's say that this virus has been known for 6 months which I'll call 180 days. Thus, approximately 27 million people have died in this period. The 400,000 deaths from the virus comprise about 1.5% of these deaths. Approximate numbers of course.

Did you forgot that 2 billions were in a complete lock down for 3 months and many are still....and all the deaths number are way under the real number....let check the number in 2 years after there will be a lot of waves....and less countries lying about their numbers.

And how many hospitals were overwhelmed around the world despite a complete lock down of 2 billions peoples? 

And how many would have been with no lock down at all?

I would guess easily 10 times more.....and 10 times more death...

It was already ABSOLUTELY AWFUL in so many countries but you enjoy dismissing the pain of millions!

It's not 6 months and it's not 400K unless you believe the propaganda machine of China and Iran and Russia or Brasil etc etc etc

There is little point in speculating what the 'real' number of deaths is. All that can be used is the official numbers. You are happy to assume that governments are lying about the number of deaths? Why would they do this? You also appear to be able to see the future...how do you know there will be a lot of waves? If this is inevitable why are we locking down entire nations and completely changing our way of life? You of course are fully entitled to your opinion, but I will say that in these pages you have indulged in a lot of hand-wringing. Perhaps the end times are not upon us!

I do not enjoy dismissing the pain of millions, that's an absurd assertion. I in fact did not make any point, I simply gave numbers. I say above that you are entitled to your opinion, as am I. If we disagree then that's not a problem, but let's do so in a reasonably civilised fashion without attempting character assassinations hey?

the death toll passed 390,000.

And that's likely an undercount.

"Almost certainly it's higher," said Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, at a virtual Senate hearing on Tuesday. "There may have been people who died at home who were not counted as COVID because they never really got to the hospital."

It's not just the death toll that's likely higher. Medical statisticians say we have been undercounting cases since the pandemic started — not only in the U.S. but also around the world. That's because in countries rich and poor and in between, people who contract COVID-19 are not necessarily diagnosed — because of the shortage of tests and the difficulty of getting tested in some parts of the world, especially remote spots.

So you should keep in mind certain caveats as you consider the endless stream of numbers.

Do not pretend that you are neutral and that you don't have an agenda!
