“Now we will shift from hysteria and panic about the “death rate” to hysteria and panic about the “rate of spread”. Time to shift gears all you Chicken Freepers.”
absolutely ... but anyone with a lick of sense here who’s been paying attention has known that when high volume testing kicked in that the number of “new” cases would skyrocket ...
but that’s a GOOD thing, because all that’s being “discovered” is the fact that hundreds of thousands of us have been walking around already infected with this virus and showing little or no symptoms, plus we’ll have a much better idea of the true mortality and morbidity of this disease, and once we know that those are not numbers that will overwhelm our medical system, PARTICULARLY if Plaquenil + Zithromax is shown in New York to be significantly curative, then we all can get back to the business of business ...
“Wow, NY now has more deaths then Washington. I wonder why this flu has not hit the homeless populations in California?”
George Carlin would have said because their immune systems have had so much practice on lots of germs ...
#3. Re your comment, “Relying on China for accurate information”? to which I add “Relying on the American mainstream media for accurate information”?
Two wrongs make a right in their Orwellian, Marxist world.
If community spread is caused by population density, why has this not hit the nation of India??????
Ive been watching that graph every day too. I was so happy to see the # of daily deaths decline! Today’s numbers....ughhhh
Yes. Now that they are testing, we will see who and how many have it and the death rate.
Our older neighbor (70s) had the COVID — developed bilateral pneumonia with Oxygen Sat at 85 (!!) and was in ICU for several days. He responded well to his own CPAP in the ICU and he was on antibiotics. Did not have to be intubated! Amazing.
He was sent home and has recovered. His wife has remained completely healthy this whole time. She was not permitted in the hospital. I was quarantined for 2 weeks due to my contact with them. I am totally fine.
Those were probably New York's contributions to new cases and new deaths.
its even lower in S Korea, Germany etc
They welded a couple security gates on buildings where people were not abiding by quarantine. It was not a widespread practice. It does beg the question, would you rather they just shot them?
I tend to believe there is some significance in the fact that there are 21M fewer cell phone users in China than there were in October 2019.
A deep dive on that number would be an interesting exercise.
The ‘mortality rate’ is ALWAYS calculated by (number of people reporting symptoms)/(deaths) because the number of people who never report symptoms is impossible to know
You can guess, but that’s not how it’s done.
This is ANOTHER example of the media talking out of their asses pretending they know what they are talking about
No. Those were the only two options available? Wow.
Silly statement. Keep studying.
As those living in Grover’s Mill found out: that weren’t no meteorite!
