Places with highest daily reported cases per capita
Seven-day average of daily new reported cases per 100,000 residents
great we hit the 100K mark days before the election
nonstop media blaring now all weekend
“concerning”
“troubling”
“dooming”
etc etc
Joe has a plan blah blah blah
And yet, nobody is sick and hospitals are not overrun. I don’t know one person who has had it, nobody who knows anyne who had it and nobody who’s died from it, and I’m in NY Metropolitan area. Suspiciously the numbers just go through the roof in the last week before the election....
Cases from 9/30 to 10/30: 1848433
Reported deaths during that time: 23,407
Mortality rate the past 30 days?? 1.2%
Remind everyone of that
I was going to say the mortality rate is going down, my suspicion is that this is demonstrating the tru nature of this disease — but all are correct this will be spun in the worst light
I wonder, for comparison, how many cases and deaths by tuberculosis have occurred during 2020.....
stop testing. that has been one of the Dems’ electioneering weapons. nothing more.
Interesting that US deaths have barely budged (+10%) 4 weeks into 3rd wave.
France 49215 cases, 545 deaths with 1/5 population.
Italy 31084 cases, 199 deaths with 2/11 population.
Spain 25595 cases, 239 deaths with 1/7 population.
UK 24405 cases, 274 deaths with 1/5 population.
Belgium 23921 cases, 138 deaths with 1/30 population.
Total of those 5 European countries:
154220 cases, 1395 deaths with 2/3 US population. Rates 200%+
The population is older in Europe? That’s why the virus is deadlier?

Data

Quick summary from my perusal:
Deaths for “normal” causes actually went up slightly in the Spring and Summer, therefore COVID-19 was NOT over-reported at that time.
More recently, Sep/Oct, the death rate overall has receded to near expected trend.
The actual rate is probably much lower than 1% because of the asymptomatic people who didn’t get tested and never knew they had it.

That is a factor.
It is still following genetic geographical lines.
From early on, and is being studied, is genetic predisposition and when groups were last in Asia by country. East Asians coevolved with similar viruses and are least vulnerable overall because the genetically vulnerable died centuries ago. Next are central Asians. Turks and Slavs who left Asia 1000-1500 years ago are more vulnerable. Then comes Germans and Huns who left Asia 1500-2000 years ago. More vulnerable still are the Celts and Romance who left Asia 2500-5000 years ago. The most vulnerable are Amerindians who left Asia 12000 years ago, and the African diaspora that was never there (excluding Africans themselves due to an extremely young demographic, slow penetration into remote areas, lack of testing and possibly ubiquitous hydroxychloroquine usage due to endemic malaria). The rates per million of cases and deaths in countries follow a straight line up, east to west, no matter what anybody did.
Also Europe is much more densely populated than the US, most live in apartments.
Epidemic is over.
It’s endemic until the vaccine. Pretty low level endemic.
