translation: Trump is calling out the WHO on a politically motivated lie.

“A firestorm has erupted... “

CNN is a nexus of pandemic modeling?

Truth?

He said the rate would go down when more tests are performed. And that it will. He is stating a fact...The early tests were done on people that were already symptomatic, so naturally the older, less healthy would be more susceptible. As the tests are available to healthier folks, the rate WILL GO DOWN...

Correctamundo.

Calculating death rates is a useless exercise unless you also have the denominator figure of total numbers of cases. Not nearly enough tests have been performed to give a clear picture of that.

I get it. And I was a “C” math student.
Apparently the WHO and most people failed totally.

nobody except possibly the communist Chinese government knows how many have caught it, how many have died.
so, its reasonable for PDJT to question (and that’s all he’s done) a single “outlier” report of 3% fatalities when
all previous published reports say its 2.2% or less.

secondly, we will likely never know which number it is/was
since we will never know how many people have caught the virus and recovered just like they had the “normal” kinds of flu or bad colds. Most of them don’t know they ever had this new virus, so certainly the governments don’t and will never know

there could be , likely are, many millions of folks in communist China and around the world who have had this virus and are now recovered and just fine. everyone catches colds and flu...and think little of it once they are well again

Maybe it is time PJ Media should go to bed. I like an unmuzzled President Trump.

TRump is correct. Who is obviously and deliberately wrong in their claim of 3.4% death rate. In fact itmis simply NOT POSSIBLE to know the death rate until the virus has all but stopped it’s spread. The WHO is deliberately misstating the death rate by using only known cases and then using those who die to arrive at this number.

But there are literally 10’s or 100’s of thousands who may contract the disease and never be included in the statistics because they get over it on their own, never seeing a doctor or visiting a Hospital.

Correct.

The numbers to watch will come from South Korea.

Yes. Dr. Fauci, on Lou Dobbs last night, made the same point. It's all about an accurate/realistic denominator.

The problem with the death rate...at least in Washington State was someone with the virus spread it throughout the senior complex.

If you're sick...stay home.

BINGO! The larger the universe tested..., the smaller the fatality percentage will be. Simple math (a skill woefully lacking even among those "Highly Educated"!)

Those of us that actually understood the concept of ratios, proportions, fractions, and percentages have been saying that for weeks.

It’s always fun to spot the dumb people that dont, though.

The latest figures from South Korea (which appears to have the most accurate numbers) indicate a 0.6% mortality rate.

And that will also likely go down with more testing.

I agree with President Trump. He surrounds himself with the most intelligent people unlike many of the Romney fan pundits like the author. I’m frankly sick and tired of so many people with their heads in the sand thinking that this thing just somehow organically started or accidentally released. Oh yes Alice in Wonderland. No people the timing is too coincidental and yes the Chinese are willing to lose that many of their people and probably those globalist who are the elites have no problem killing off much of Iran also as they would probably have an easier time controlling the world that way. Throw rocks all you want ... I can take it.

He’s right and they aren’t simply wrong they are purposely meant to cultivate panic and hysteria. The WHO is infested with globalist leftists.

I have to assume that everyone who contracts this virus ends up in the hospital and that no one gets it, recovers at home, and moves on. If that assumption is not correct then nobody has a clue as to how how many cases there really are.
