Given that CV19 is about 4 times as easy to transmit as a flu virus it's easy to see how it could run rampant without mitigation. In case this were to happen in the United States it would overwhelm our far superior medical system and we would be looking at an overall population death rate of 12%.
We each rely on each other to keep this from happening.
What kind of BS did you just invent? One logical flaw after another. Fallacy on top of fallacy.
Don’t forget that in the US, if you have a heart attack, and the EMT has COVID-19, and you die, the cause of death will be listed as COVID-19.
Because you’re the expert on this?
Did you actually think about this or even run your own numbers?
12% death on the overall population?
330,000,000 x 12% = 39,600,000
Care to moderate your insanity?
Don’t forget that in the US, if you have a heart attack, and the EMT has COVID-19, and you die, the cause of death will be listed as COVID-19.
The scene you illustrate is as connected to reality as is the medias claim that President Trump called the Wuhan Coronavirus epidemic a hoax.
No because I passed 5th grade math?
But given the level of reading now found on this forum by some at various times... that may be expert level intelligence.
I’m pretty sure your figures are out of date by several days.
As I wrote elsewhere, the US is right where you'd expect:
-Those countries with adjusted low case counts like Austria, Portugal, and Denmark have dutiful citizens that respond well to the demands of the common good over their individuality.
-Those countries with high case counts have surrendered their individuality and national identity to mob rule.
It's a bit like gun control: we’ll never have zero cases in America because we’re crazy individualists who distrust authority and love freedom. That means we'll usually run a little hotter on things like crime. But we won’t be like the UK and Italy and Belgium and their yuge relative death count.
Are you a Chicken Freeper extolling the virtue of experts? Have you been trusting the “Expert’s Model’s”? Please share the names of the experts that you believe.
Don’t need to be an expert to be competent in basic math and common since.

I do know the ‘herd immunity’ theory assumed an infection rate of 68% for the particular disease. The flu, albeit with vaccines in place, generally doesn’t top 10%. I suspect that unmitigated, and assuming the new treatments were to fall through in regards fatalities, the maximum infection rate would be between those bounds.
deaths per cases is meaningless.
deaths with covid are meaningless.
sort that out and come again.
I’m pretty sure your figures are out of date by several days.
At first, judging from the SARS spread, I thought sunshine and warmth would mitigate CV19. That turned out not to be true. I also thought, because of the lies which China published that our overall death rate would be less than 1%. That’s what we’ve seen so far .....but only under lockdown mitigation. Because of mitigation only a small percentage of Americans have been exposed.
These numbers seem pretty unreasonable to me too. However, they are what they are.
They are not what you say they are. Your logic is deeply flawed.
‘The scene you illustrate is as connected to reality as is the medias claim that President Trump called the Wuhan Coronavirus epidemic a hoax.’
yes, the comment is over the top, but you know as well as everyone else that the books are being cooked on Covid deaths...
“Don’t forget that in the US, if you have a heart attack, and the EMT has COVID-19, and you die, the cause of death will be listed as COVID-19.”
Right, I read that on the internet, so it must be true. If your grandmother’s gardener’s second cousin had Covd19 blah blah blah
“I’m pretty sure your figures are out of date by several days.”
As noted, they aren’t my numbers. They are the current numbers from a generally accepted go-to website for CV19 statistics. The only numbers I supplied were in the “Deaths/Cases” column. They were derived from the other columns.
The numbers speak for themselves.
“because we’re crazy individualists who distrust authority and love freedom.“
Yep in a truly free country you need to value freedom above safety.
