[Its All Over Except ...]

Yossi posted this on Twitter. A drop from 1.84% that Brit Hume reported on. Real stats, not mere speculation the sky will fall we hear from CNN and MSNBC that chicken freepers are echoing as another freeper put it. But another freeper responded to that saying a meteorite could also fall. LOL.

Korea has the most testing in the world and they are finding under 1/2% mortality.

[2banana]

What????

No 10 million dead?

[chris37]

Okay, the numbers say X today! Hahahaha! Everyone was fooled.

Am I out of danger of dying from Chinese Red Death?

Can I walk outside and do the stuff I used to do a month ago and not run the risk of choking to death on my own snot after infecting my loved ones with same?

Because if I go outside, and this happens to me, and your article with numbers in it did not protect me, I’m going to be angry.

[Its All Over Except ...]

As another thread here from gateway pundit showed, not fearmongering from CNN or MSNBC, showed Brit Hume of all people providing real stats, not ohhh run for the hills. And he provided the stats from the 15th.

We can go by concrete, real stats. Reason, rationality...Hope.

But some will wring their hands anyway and have emotional outbursts when they don’t know the sky will fall.

[HighSierra5]

We’ve been playgued.

[wastedyears]

The mortality rate isn’t going anywhere just because more people are being tested. Fewer people don’t magically die just because more are being tested. We’re just getting a better grasp of the rate of infection and spread. Wouldn’t the numbers be a false positive?

[Spruce]

Do you feel an unprofessional, poorly made website that doesn’t even implement ssl, quoting a twitter post by a dude whose self-proclaimed profession is “Marketing” is a valid, credible source of truth?

[xkaydet65]

Percentage is up to 1.3% this morning.

[Junk Silver]

I don’t understand the obsession with what the “mortality rate” is. Given the fact that many cases have only minor symptoms and there isn’t widespread testing that number is guaranteed to be bullish*t no matter how much you mess with the figures.

My concern is hospitals being overloaded with critical care patients. This is reportedly happening in Europe (although I don’t trust anything I’m reading these days) and it seems possible that it could happen here. Why should I care if those critical care patients who can’t get treatment represent .05% of infections or 10% of them?

[impimp]

Death rate will drop further

[Zhang Fei]

It takes a while for the infected to start dying. Italy's at 9% dead to infected. That's a ramp from 3% earlier. We might be spared some of Italy's problems because Turkey aside, we have the most ICU beds per capita of any country in the world:

[God luvs America]

be prepared- the chinese flu doomsayers will be telling you soon enough “but what about recovery rate?” and “how do we know those people won’t die?” and blah-blah-blah...

[Ann Archy]

Fauci of the NIH is NOTHING but a Hilliary LOVER...see his letters where he says so!

This has been ANOTHER stab at getting rid of Trump!

Rod Rosenstein's SISTER at the CDC started the damn PANIC....and Fauci has kept it up!

These Democrat BUREAUCRATS will ALWAYS have THEIR JOBS!

[Jack Black]

There is a big problem with comparing people tested TODAY and people DEAD today. Think about it. You get tested, in most cases, early in the progression of the illness. You should probably compare deaths today with people tested a week or 10 days ago, to be more accurate.

[fatima]

That’s good news.:)

[lepton]

Assuming all cases where the still sick will survive will do wonders to your numbers - especially while the number still sick is rising rapidly.

[Mom MD]

[HamiltonJay]

Best numbers I trust which are s Korea, where they are actively testing tens of tousands a day and haven’t overwhelmed there shan’t shoe a mortality rate around. 1%. (Slightly less). That’s still a lot of folks if this rate is anywhere near that high and this virus spreads like it is expected to.

We’ll see how this all plays out, but other than hot spots I think they are overplaying with some of their actions. Unless folks start seeing huge numbers of deaths and serious cases near them these lock everything down will be leading to unrest shortly. Once people can’t buy food or pay rents it’s going to get ugly

[grey_whiskers]

Look! the FluBro troll starts another vacuous thread!

[Diogenesis]

1. mortality rate = #deaths / (#recovered + #dead)

2. case fatality rate = #deaths / (#cases + #dead)

3. have those purportedly ‘recovered’, really reacovered?
