UGH. The chart I read wrong. It is 26 deaths, not 6 deaths.
So the death rate is 0.04%, not 0.01%.
I “mathed” right, but failed reading.
So it’s eight times more deadly than a tonsillectomy?
You’re falling for the case fatality hokey pokey. How many people are actually exposed>contract the disease>die?
They are 59000 CONFIRMED cases. Some epidemiologists are saying that the for every confirmed case there are 10 people who are immune or have developed antibodies.
You cannot use confirmed cases to measure lethality it is a fools errand.
We have now heard that T cells can fight the infection without developing antibodies. So even the presence of antibodies is not a clear indicator of exposure.
LOL!
The story on Fox35 here in Orlando that broke last night was updated today- the Dept of Health said apparently labs weren’t counting negative tests.
Don’t ask. It’s probably a hanging chad issue.
