Show your math, please. What did you use as a denominator? Did you remember to multiply by 100 to get a percentage?
“It may finally force many cultures to finally stop having so much physical contact during greetings, for startere.”
Just what “physical contact” do they have...everyone here thinks you have to shake hands...are they kissing on the lips? Or what...just curious
translation: Trump is calling out the WHO on a politically motivated lie.
The Donald usually speaks about that which “ he knows” and lets the MSM fall into the trap
What a dilemma. How does a Chicken Freeper reconcile supporting Trump when he calls BS on Corona hysteria?
Is Trump right or is Corona the EOTWAWKI? Make your pick.
Long term numbers.
We’ll know in 6 months kind of numbers.
Meanwhile we’re bracing for ‘impact’ supply chain disruptions.
Did you count everybody who is still sick as a survivor?
Try doing your math to calculate the survival rate.
If the percentage of survivors plus the percentage of fatalities doesn’t equal 100%, where did the all the people in the missing percentage go?
Were they kidnapped by space aliens from the planet Malcypheria, perhaps?
Rick Moran knew is editorial would generate a lot of clicks. That’s all that’s going on here.
The cheek to cheek smooching stuff they do in other countries, for starters.
“But again, they don’t know about the easy cases because the easy cases don’t go to the hospital. They don’t report to doctors or the hospital, in many cases,” Trump said. “So I think that that number is very high. I think the number, personally, I would say the number is way under 1 percent.”
How about if he stops hunching and shut down air travel from Italy, you know, the country that is now spreading it to the rest of the states in the union?
Nothing wrong with that death rate. It is the rate of dying for people hospitalized for Corona infections. Always be sure to define the terms of a debate.
What is the death rate of infected persons? As some have already said it is unknowable. If we start random testing (not targets testing) millions of people we could then get an estimated death rate of infected persons.
FWIW, my numbers based on deaths over RESOLVED cases have shown a steady drop since 4 days after data started becoming available
The death rate seems to have plateaued at ≈5.8% of RESOLVED cases.
President Trump is leading the country thru the Coraonavius problem brilliantly. There is no mass panic, like the antichrist media wants.
When in the entire course of human history have the number of cases included people who were never sick enough to see a doctor of any variety, witch to Haaaaavad educated?
faucetman ~ YES! First and foremost.... Donald J Trump.
So did Reagan. There's probably a life's lesson there...
It’s the 15% hospitalization.
It’s the economic impact.
It’s not as much about fatality rate.
Including, perhaps, the unnamed woman of oriental appearance who grabbed the Pope's arm, tried to pull him towards her, and later had a private audience with him?
He's been off his feed lately, hasn't he?
Apparently the CDC FAILED on developing/approving test kits.
Getting the denominator is clearly a CDC failure.
Maybe even get the poop off the sidewalks?
Using your method the death rate would be forever changing. The true rate cannot be known until the disease stops spreading and the number of deaths can then be figured as a % of the total infected.
Anything else is guess work and politics.
