The homepage of fab shows 33,934 online at the moment. I know some people have multiple accounts, I'm also aware a significant number of those online are going to be couples. But let's imagine each of those 33,934 profiles belong to individuals. That's still a lot of people, isn't it.
Now imagine those 33,934 people were each standing in front of you. With both their parents. That's a serious number of people now. Circa 100k
Well each of those profiles, plus each parent represents a person who has died in the UK within 28 days of testing positive for Covid.
Another stat for you, though the more pedantic almost you will miss the point here. I read recently that Fab has 2.5 Million users. I'm unable to find where I read it, but it seems like a genuine number. Well 1 in 670(ish) of the UK have died with Covid. That means, with those figures, there are over 3,500 profiles on here which will never log in again. |

With the average age of death by Covid in excess of 80 years of age, I would suggest not many in that age group are fab members anyway! |

OP, you're over thinking this. We could say the same thing about overdoses, suicide and car accidents. Those people will never log in again either.
But why make up such a depressing, factually innacurate statistic and put it out first thing in the morning for people to wake up to?

This is what happens when you get armchair statisticians with far too much time on their hands.
One thing it does prove though, with enough imagination, statistics can be made to look like whatever you want them to. |

We cannot help those who have died, so it is better not to depress ourselves thinking about it.
It would be better to only think about people who have died if we actually know them.
Whilst doing all we can to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus virus, thus helping preventing further deaths.
Otherwise the mental health asspect of the situation could overwhelm us. |

"More people with Fab accounts will have died from cancer than Covid"
More people with Fab accounts will have died from autoerotic asphyxiation than Covid.
Probably more murder victims too.
Have a cup of tea and some cake. |

"If you catch Covid you have a 0.9% chance of dying from it. "
You do realise that the odds of dying this year from covid is greater than dying from everything else combined? That's an awful lot of unnecessary deaths. |

"Or you could just say what we already know is that 97000 have died in the UK however they registered with covid.
"
Sometimes, in order to understand the gravity of the information given to them, some people need it in a format they can relate to. |

I don't know anyone who died at the Twin Towers.
I don't know anyone who died in the gulf wars.
I don't know anyone who died at the Manchester Arena attack.
I don't know anyone who died in the first or second world war.
So, I think I am going to close my eyes and forget these events ever happened.
And there we go..The world is a perfectly happy place where nothing bad happens.  |

I'm not overthinking anything. I've put the information in to a relatable format. 97,000 as a figure doesn't seem like much to some. Maybe if they have a have a different way of thinking about it, they will understand how enormous this number is.
Where is it factually inaccurate?
It was posted last night at 11pm, bit this morning. So it's your comment which is factually inaccurate. |

Ok. Just google "odds of dying in a year".
1 in 2488 for me to die with something else.
1 in 111 (0.9%) with covid according to you... |

The fact that you believe that Fab has 2.5 million users renders everything you say pretty much meaningless. |

You don't believe that on all the years ours been running that fab could have sufficient accounts for that?
If estimate 50% of profiles are couples. So if there were only 500k couple profiles created in that time, you have 1 million users. 500k couple profiles created across a decade or so isn't that many.
So unless you have the contradicting information, it is your comment which is meaningless. |

I think the issue is you put a simple and easy to relate to and understand statistic into such a complicated way of reasoning it that people are like.... WTF  |

Given the number of people who have had covid I would still argue that the chances of me dying with covid this year are greater than the chances of me dying from something else. |

97,000 is not a relatable number to some people. The figures over given are two different ways members of this site can relate to that number. If v somebody doesn't understand it, then they don't understand it.
For a forum based on a 'liberal' and 'open' lifestyle, very few forum members are indeed liberal nor open. Look back at the forums posts, unless contributors are known, or saying something which is simple and appeals to the uneducated masses, they are ostracised and criticised. I wonder her well this 'criticism' will be received? |

The way you've described it isn't relatable in the slightest. You're asking us to picture anonymous names on a sex site. It really doesn't work fella. CAn you not just compare it to a full crowd at Wembley and have done with it? |

600,000 die every year in the uk, 100,000 have died of covid in 12 months. How does that mean more have died of covid than every other cause combined ? Also most of those are over 80 so you have a tiny chance of dying from covid . |

I'm not asking YOU to do anything.. I've put figures on which SOME can relate to. The Wembley idea of bollocks, how do I know this?
Statistics like this...
The overall rate of probable PTSD among current and ex-serving military personnel was 6 per cent in 2014-16, compared with 4 per cent in 2004-06.
When my Corporal and close friend killed himself, I needed to watch his wife and two daughters spend years coming to terms with it.
Nobody understood the gravity of the problem because they were just numbers which couldn't be related to! I was involved in making ex-servicemen mental health issues common knowledge.
Please don't lecture me on what is relatable, until you've given information and evidence to a panel in several different ways to ensure maximum understanding. |

"Sorry OP but your numbers are based purely on your own estimations.
"
The number of online members was reported by this site.
The number of deaths is from ONS.
The total number of members on here was part of a news article about Corrie McKeague.
Where are 'MY' estimates? |

I got it OP. I thought it was very obvious... sadly some people just like to argue. Maybe, why we are all in this mess. |

"97000 deaths in 65000000 people?!
That’s like 0.14% is it not? "
No because its not 65 million is it? Not everyone has had it, even if they did it's not necessarily they won't get it again |
