Comment on Why is everyone so giddy about the flooding thay happened at burning man?
WheeGeetheCat@sh.itjust.works 9 months agoDo you have any hospitalized people there? Because the USA has 919,649 hospital beds. Anyone needing assisted living? Because the US has 810,000 people in assisted living. Now the 70,000 number doesn’t seem so big eh?
My point is that ‘people capable of going to an event’ is already a helluva selection, especially when you compare it to the population that includes all those sick people.

Just suicides and unintentional injuries are enough to make it pretty close to 1/week/70k.
Again, I provided sources in another comment, you’re just ignoring the stats and the history of the event because it doesn’t fit with what you want the event to be 🤷
Heck, we don’t even know this year’s cause of death, might as well be a suicide or an overdose and have nothing to do with the weather!

Haha I don’t care so much about burning man as much as this method you have.
So by your math, Somewhere like disney with 50k visitors a day is still remarkably safe as long as less than 10 people a day die there?

I used to work in a casino where we would get 6k visitors a day on average and we had two to three deaths a year. Just because most clients don’t realize it happens doesn’t mean it doesn’t. Same for Disney, some people die on the premise, some people die when they’ve reached the hospital, but yes, when you have that many people coming every day that shit does happen. Considering its size, Disney has medical staff on the premise (heck, we had medical staff for the 1500 employees and our clients) and they might even had their own ambulance service so as to not have to wait to ship people to the hospital.

I like how you chose casino, establishments known to especially attract the 85+ cohort, which I didn’t even include in my 10 a day disney # to be nice.
Do you think 10 people a day die at a single disney park behind the scenes? You’re dying on this hill?
