“Think you’ll get an answer?”

I doubt it, he only practices amateur epidemiology along a very narrow spectrum.

I’ll tell you what, take that conspiracy/hoax nonsense and preach it to the nurses & doctors at the nearest hospital near you. You’ll be correctly & promptly thrown out on your arse.

Agreed that the virus itself is not a hoax, though scared up to the max.

But look more closely at 9/11 before you go slinging that intended insult.

My contacts here tell me the hospitals are empty. I have clients that have been doctors since before the internet.

Yeah, I thought the same. Especially with the hospital not allowing them to wear masks in patient areas. And yes, the guy with symptoms is the one that walked into a cv room. My son is worried too because he has several older folks on his crew plus one who has a kid with cancer.

I found out today that a different contracting firm working there had to pull out, several workers with cv symptoms.

I filed a complaint with OSHA. I know these are difficult times for hospitals but there is NO reason my son and his crew were not allowed masks when they already have them for the type of work they do.

BTW - I have never been to any ER or ICU where the hospital staff has suffered deaths FROM THE FLU. Illness? Yes, of course. Isolation rooms and robotic healthcare to maintain isolation? Are you fcking kidding me????

Last night, my tiny hospital in a town of 30K admitted it’s 6th ICU patient from the WuFlu. All six on ventilators. Average stay on a vent for any disease? 6 days. WuFlu? 21-30 days. Think about that, douche nozzle, 30 days laying on your stomach under sedation, because your body can’t tolerate the build up of CO2 from this. The flu causes pneumonia in worst case scenarios. It ain’t the flu that kills you, it’s your lungs filling up with fluid from pneumonia. There are vaccines and meds for pneumonia.

This bio weapon kills you by destroying your lungs, and if you are young it kills you by attacking your heart after your lungs. If you are strong, and survive the cytokine Storm (and you are male), it goes after your balls. You are now most likely infertile.

I’ve read your posting history. Your DOB here doesn’t impress me - this is my second username since 1998. GFY Flubro. Go play with impimp and tell each other how brave you aren’t. Your ostrich level lack of scientific understanding of a new disease is as horrifying as the understanding of politics at DU.

This ain’t the flu.

I watched lots of you 1998 trolls out yourselves back during the 2000 election cycle. You just took longer.

Where is "here?" 'Cause I'm in Maryland, and I can tell you the hospitals are sure not empty here.

I wonder if you can tell if you have COVID 19 but just looking for signs in your blood tests..which by the way you can order yourself through www.directlabs.com

The lower white blood count is interesting. It’s been a long time since I looked at the blood tests of patient 0 in washington so I dont remember his.

https://www.unboundmedicine.com/medline/citation/32114745/

[Characteristics of peripheral blood leukocyte differential counts in patients with COVID-19].

In conclusion, leukopenia, lymphocytopenia and eosinophil cytopenia are more common in COVID-19 patients than those in non- COVID-19 patients.

Hi, thanks for that site.

Covid-19-Case-Growth

The equations are generated through the polynomial curve-fit trendline function of Excel. Even though the growth is exponential, a polynomial also shows the curve to within a few thousands of the actual value.

The R squared is a measure of how closely the curve fits the data.

What I see here is that the number of cases is rising faster than deaths or recoveries. Since deaths occur from 2 to 8 weeks after the infection, I expect the rise of deaths will lag behind the rise of new cases. The same applies to recoveries.

I only started keeping a record since Mar. 12. Prior to that, I was only checking the death rate, which held steady at about 2.5% for a while. Now I wish I had that data to compare.

I get my data from Johns Hopkins. Refresh the website for the latest data.
