OT: Gene Hackman dies

I think the odds ARE indeed tougher of this happening than winning the powerball and by quite a large margin but I cannot confirm 100%, but hear me out:

If the odds of the hitting the Powerball are 1 in roughly 292.2 million and there are 340 million people in the U.S. with 52 weeks a year and 2 days a week where the results are given then that's 104 opportunities a year.

Now, use the same data for the U.S. population and the fact that since 1993 (on average) there are only 20-50 confirmed cases a year. Now, add in a mortality rate of roughly of 35% (or 1 in 3) people dying who contract it. Once you do that, now lets say we use the worst case scenario: which is 50 cases a year since 1993 and only 52 weeks a year.

There is still only 1 person a week "contracting" the virus a week in the United States, but the odds get even crazier when you factor in mortality rate of the virus of 35% and remember we are using the worst case scenario data over a 32 year average.

If we used the 20 cases a year data it would be even crazier. So you mathematicians check my math to see if it's mathing but at this point I believe her odds of dying from this would be pretty close to her winning the powerball twice in 1 year.

So basically if you use the low end data of contracted hantavirus cases (20 a year) and a 1 in 3 chance of dying from it then there's roughly 7 people A YEAR who actually die from this.

Crazy odds and not sure I'm buying it.

So if it’s not that, what is it?

I can’t see a 95 year old man capable of killing someone 30 years younger.

I can’t see anyone killing one and not killing the other.

This one is a stumper.

I just know how inept some investigators and even medical examiners are at their jobs and a lot are even corrupt.

Factor in the odds of this hantavirus thing truly happening and I'd lean more towards them choosing some sort of solution rather than truly investigating it (which is hard).

Think about, we had different stories of the dog's demise early on. How does some reports say it was locked in a closet and some say in a crate?

Either it was in a locked closet or in a crate. It couldn't be both and that's so easy not to get confused but people are dumb.
 
jfc does everything have to be a ****ing conspiracy with some of you?

Read this for a deep dive into just how far the corruption at the local, state & federal levels go.

No, but even you would have to admit a millionaire’s wife dying from a virus from rodent feces is a little strange.

Hackman’s death is totally explained. Dementia and just being old. It’s hard to believe they didn’t have people checking in on them, but it is certainly understandable.

Lydeck being Lydeck.
 
I guess I’d need to see the condition of the home.

I can see certainly see the idea, but I am not sure I buy it either.
It think it very likely would have been contracted outside the home, not inside. I believe the dry, windy conditions aid in the spread of the virus.
