Elon Musk Thinks Coronavirus isn’t as Lethal as What We’ve Been Led to Believe

the Joe Rogan experience now we say civilisations fragile do you mean because of this covet nineteen [ __ ] that's going on right now what's that it's this thing yeah it's like some people just get a car do you know about other people it gets much worse sure yeah well yeah I mean this certainly has taken over the mind space of the world to a degree that is quite shocking yeah well I don't know where that's what's crazy it's like you go back to November nothing now here we are December January February March April May six months totally different world so from nothing to everything's locked down there's so much conflicting information and conflicting opinions about how to proceed what what has happened you you find things where there was a meatpacking plant I believe in Missouri where three hundred plus people were asymptomatic tested positive ray symptomatic and then in other places it just ravages entire communities and kills people and it's it's so weird it almost appears on the out like if you didn't know any better you'd be like what it seems like there's a bunch of different viruses doesn't seem like it's the same thing or has a bunch of different reactions to the biological variety of people yeah I mean I kind of saw this whole thing play out in China before it played out in the u.s. so it's kind of like watching the same movie again but in English yeah [Music] I might I think the the the the mortality rate is is much less than what is then what say the World Health Organization said it was it's very much much less I probably at least order of magnitude less well it it seems to be very deadly to very specific kinds of people and people with specific problems yeah I mean if you're you can look at the mortality statistics you know by age and whether they have come whether it would come over it is like do they have like basically existing conditions and by age and you know if you're below sixty and and have no serious health issues the probability of death is extremely low it's not zero but it's extremely low they didn't think that this was the case though when they first started to lock down the country do you think that it's a situation where once they proceed in a certain way it's very difficult to correct course that's most like people really wanted a panic quite quite crazy but in some places a panic is deserved right look if you're in the ICU in Manhattan and people are dying left and right and everyone's on into baiters and it's a when you see all these people on ventilators and so many of them are dying and you see these nurses are dying and doctors are getting sick in some places that fear is justified but then in other places you're you're reading these stories about hospitals that are essentially half-empty they're they're having to furlough doctors and nurses because there's no work for them most of the hospitals in the United States right now half-empty or in some cases they're at thirty percent capacity and is this because they've decided to forego elective procedures and and and normal things that people would have to go to the hospital for yes I mean and we're not talking about just some of these elective procedures are quite important yeah it's like you have a battle yes sure and you need a you know triple bypass it's like sort of elective but if you don't get it done in time it's you're gonna die yeah it's electives weird word elective it's not like hey I wanna there's like plastic surgeries it's like it's more like like my my hip is I'm an extreme pain because my my hips blown out or my knee and I don't want to go to the hospital I can't go to the hospital too you know people in extreme pain feel that need a kidney you know like people that have like quite serious issues that are choosing not to go out of fear so I think it's it's a problem good it seems like the state of public perception is shifting it is like people are taking some deep breaths and relaxing and because of the statistics of I mean and and essentially across the board it's being recognized that it's not as fatal as we thought it was still danger is still worse than the flu but not as bad as we thought or are we feared it could be I'm actively the mortality is as much lower like at least a factor of 10 maybe a factor of 50 lower than initially thought do you think that the current way we're handling this the social distancing the mask the locking down is it does this make sense is it adequate or or do you think that we should move back to at least closer to where we used to be well I think proper hygiene is a good thing no matter what you know wash your hands and you know and if you're if you're coughing stay home or wear a mask is not good you know if I could do that in Japan that's like normal if you're if you're a Lu you wear a face mask and you know cough on people I think that that would be a great thing to to adopt in general throughout the world I'm for washing your hands also good well that's the speculation why men get it more than women because men are disgusting we don't want it are just it's true it's true yeah man in this room bro gross ass go to the restroom we can see is gross my daughter my nine-year-old daughter yells at me just did you wash your hands she makes me go back and wash my hands hmm she's right nine years I've had a nine-year-old boy do you think you'd care I wouldn't give a [ __ ] if I wash my hands sure so I think that this this to apply some silver linings here then in improved uh you know hygiene yes and an awareness of potential yes and I think this has shaken up the the system system Cyclops more moribund with loudly as layers of bureaucracy and I think that we've you know cut through some of that bureaucracy and if we you know at some point there probably will be a pandemic with with a with with a high mortality rate you know that was a debate about like what's high but I mean like something that's killing a lot of twenty-year-old flight today like we're like it's yes if you have like Ebola type of mortality Spanish flu something yak system some healthy people yeah yeah no but it's a yeah like like killing watch a number of young healthy people that that's you know to find that as like high mortality then that this is at least practice for something like that and I think there's this you know given it's just a matter a matter of time that there will be eventually some some such pandemic do you think that in a sense the one good thing that we might get out of this is the realization that this is a potential reality that we got lucky in the sense I mean in people that didn't get lucky and died of course I'm not disrespecting their death and their loss but I'm saying overall as a culture as a community as a human race as a community this is not as bad as it could have been this is a good dry run for us to to appreciate that we need far more resources dedicated towards the the understanding these diseases what to do in the case of pandemic and much more money that goes to funding treatments and and some preventative measures yeah absolutely and I think I think there's a good chance I it's highly likely I think coming out of this that we will develop vaccines that we didn't have before for Quran viruses and other other viruses and and possibly it cures for for these and our understanding of viruses of this nature has improved dramatically because of the attention that it's received so there's definitely some you know a lot of silver linings here and potentially if we act correctly yeah yeah yeah there's I think there will be some amount of lining here no matter what hopefully we could be more purpose of lightening Ben glass yeah so yeah this that this is just like kind of like a practice run for something that had that that had a potential that might in the future have a serious like a really high mortality rate and we kind of got to go through this with without without it being something that kills you know vast numbers of young healthy people yeah when you made a series of tweets recently you know I don't remember the exact wording but essentially we're saying free America now like let's think that quitting that is it [Applause]
