mortality rates can’t be accurately determined since communist China is fudging their infected/death numbers.
This is probably close to accurate but given the (mostly) closed environment, it might be too high?
I read on here just a few days ago that is was no worse than a common cold and the people saying it was serious are provocateurs trying to hurt Trump.
Chinese agitprop designed to crash the market.
Cruise ship (sealed petri dish) Corona numbers are misleading
Agree.
Politically incorrect but essential question that must be answered. Do Caucasians and Africans have the same rate of infection, the same degree of illness if infected and death rate as is being observed in genetic Asians? Thus far the answer appears to be no.
Nope. The Deep State, the Democrats and the media,
conspiracy KooKery.
Mortality rates in developed nations (S. Korea, Italy) seems to be a bit over 1%. Much less than SARS or MERS, which were also Coronaviruses.
Their own? This is going to decimate China. They will never recover from this.
I don’t believe any numbers either. It’s misinformation or the samples are too small or both.
Pretty much.
On the other side, they likely haven’t diagnosed many weak cases. Further still, the death rate presumably varies by level of care.
What sounds like a believable estimate for medically advanced and not overwhelmed nations is the 0.7% I’ve seen tossed out there.
Remdesivir has shown promise against other coronaviruses, and may be beneficial in this current outbreak. Gilead’s drug is now being tested in China and the U.S. Marks also said convalescent plasma, a blood product taken from people who have already fallen ill, may have potential.
Treatment is getting a lot better and they might have cure (increase in chance of survival) in a few weeks. The mortality rate will fall quickly. Next, viruses hate heat and dry weather. The warmer weather might kill it off.
While viruses hate heat and humidity. So do humans. Both humans and viruses love air conditioning.
A/C is how SARS spread extensively in HK and Singapore as both places are wealthy enough to afford it. But possibly why it didn’t spread in Indonesia and other ‘poor at the time’ Asian countries.
We’ll see though, heat doesn’t kill all coronaviruses.
I read on here just a few days ago that is was no worse than a common cold and the people saying it was serious are provocateurs trying to hurt Trump.
...
Unless you’re elderly or have serious health issues, most likely the infection will be mild.
China’s numbers are cooked.
I wouldn’t trust them with last week’s unsorted recyclables.
But they put hundreds of people under quarantine and dug up secondary and tertiary roads in the process. So somethings afoot.
SK will be the best numbers. They’re testing hundreds of thousands of people and will catch the ‘mild cold’ cases along with the more serious ones.
Yep, and Iran is showing app. 20% mortality, with again, mostly likely fudged numbers.
