John Hopkins CSSE website was updated this afternoon, and I used stats from there.

Smokers can cause problems for health professionals to try to save their lives. Smokers can get very sick from COV-19.

China has some very heavy smokers - 1.5 trillion cigarettes consumed per year.

VERY VERY IMPORTANT!

THIS week’s deaths, correlate to LAST weeks case number.

This is because there is an average of a week between diagnosis and death.

So don’t do a figure of 1,000 / 10 = 1%

It’s actually LAST WEEK’s 100 cases / THIS WEEK’S 10 deaths.

Still putting together meaningless numbers.

What you are showing is not low lethality, but rather fast spread.

66 dead, 291 recovered, 1144 still sick and unresolved.

Your argument that there are undoubtedly a large number of unknown sick is valid. The rest is trash.

Dividing dead by infected during the rapid spread of the disease isn’t meaningful.

As example, using that method:

If you were to replace “Coronavirus” with “Ricin”, and inject 100 people with a dose which would kill 100% in a week, then every day double the number of people you give the injection, using your method, after one week you would have a fatality/injection ratio of 0.78% (100/12,700), for a 100% fatal toxin. Obviously, that is a ridiculous methodology.

And the deaths in the USA were mostly residents in nursing homes, people on life support with conditions before hand and weak. Shouid be glad that they can finally go over the hill, down innto the valley with a good cough.

Iran’s ignorance of COVID-19 is going to get a lot of people seriously ill there.

Gee, I wonder how much of that difference in percentage of mortality can be put down to differences in the quality of available healthcare?

Iran is using steroids which Dr Paul Cottrell points out that is very difficult way treat a virus. Which is likely the reason many more are dying

Smoking may have allot to do with the deaths. This virus seems to attack the lungs. Maybe all of the tar build up in the lungs is a perfect nesting ground for the little virus babies that can block the airways.

North Korea?

I thought the death rate was 100%

You got the sniffles and someone with a rifle shoots you as the cure there

It is really tough to do this, because
there are so many variables from one country to another.
Best just use the USA numbers which is a familiar system to us.

This virus sure move fast through certain countries. What could China, Italy, Iran and South Korea have in common as far as a catalyst. Could there be something they breath in the air, or something in their water or eat.

Two places that people typically don’t go to for healthcare when they get sick... Italy and Iran. People with money in those countries go to US or continental Europe for serious operations and medical diagnosis.

Trump said we’ve got to lick this virus.

Iran said we’ll lick it good.
