Even using % of population, this is still a huge and meaningless hype.

The number of confirmed cases is almost entirely dependent on how much testing has been done, and how subjects were selected for testing.

So far, subjects have been “self-selected”. In other words, they represent patients with symptoms sufficient to warrant a visit to a doctor or ER. Obviously, such a sampling is heavily biased toward those likely to test positive. Moreover, different countries have varying testing capabilities, and varying policies regarding who should get tested.

The more testing, the more confirmed positives. Period.

Without randomized and statistically controlled sampling of the population, we know ZERO regarding what % of the population might have been infected, and ZERO about how deadly the virus is.

Great graphic!

I’ve made several posts here warning that the MSM, etc. would use country-to-country comparisons to make the USA look bad, compared to smaller European countries. It wasn’t a difficult prediction to make. Per/people comparisons are the only valid comparisons.

Your graphic makes the point much better.

:-)

There was an illustration, in yesterday’s (?) WSJ that showed all members of a household (even the dog) with ‘at home’ grooming looks.

Pretty much happening, all across the country, I suppose. I’ve tried grooming our dog, and the results weren’t pretty. :(

Fauci leaked that “report” to the NYT then they ambushed him with it. Then 3 days later the little shit tells CNN there are dead Americans because Trump didn’t follow his advice yet there is he is not even moved off the stage. Trump’s unwillingness to punish these people puzzles me.

so the big, rhetorical question is....DOES TRUMP KNOW? I am so uncomfortable watching this crap, day after day, and it’s like Trump has bought into all of it. Birx, Fauci and Redfield are all dirty as hell. Why...WHY are they the main counselors to our president?

“So far, subjects have been “self-selected”. In other words, they represent patients with symptoms sufficient to warrant a visit to a doctor or ER.”

Yep. People that are sick and see they have the classic symptoms of covid-19 will self-report and get tested.

We will never know about the ones that have it but have no symptoms and never get tested. No way to get a truly accurate count unless the government forces mandatory testing across the entire population.

However I still think the existing numbers are useful as they indicate how many people are sick enough with covid-19 to get tested.

Has anyone noticed the depressing “intro music” Fox plays with every CORONAVIRUS ALERT?
It’s like a funeral every 5 minutes.
It might be more annoying than their regular gong sound for a FOX NEWS ALERT every 2 seconds.
Then on Fox Biz, I believe it’s Liz Clayman whose ominous tone of voice every evening made me want to look out the window and check if the world has ended.

Yes, I am watching more old TV shows instead.

Dang....Zip Code 85382 has 69!

Stay safe.

What are the grocery stores like, around those parts? Still stocked? Any mask requirements?

Let's start a new game called "Weasel Words". Every time Dr. Fauci of Dr. Birx speak count them.

Can the President write an EO releasing hydroxychloroquine and zinc for prescription by ANY physician in any setting? The nation could begin opening up immediately thereafter.

I’ve noticed that music on Tucker’s show, when he goes to break and shows the deserted streets, of different US cities.

Yes...very depressing music.

I’m waiting for Fauci to show up in a Birx scarf.
Might as well make it entertaining.
