How many people have died as a direct result of the Chinese coronavirus? Sadly, that depends on who's doing the counting.

Obviously

look at 2010....
“The CDC and the World Health Organization stopped trying to count all the actual cases months ago”

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-flu-usa/swine-flu-has-killed-up-to-17000-in-u-s-report-idUSN1223579720100212

Swine flu has killed up to 17,000 in U.S.: report
HEALTH NEWS FEBRUARY 12, 2010 / 11:18 AM / 10 YEARS AGO

H1N1 swine flu has killed as many as 17,000 Americans, including 1,800 children, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported on Friday...

ACCURATE ESTIMATES
The CDC and the World Health Organization stopped trying to count all the actual cases months ago, once it became clear that H1N1 was a pandemic that would infect millions...

It’s not the death that counts.

It’s who counts the death.

Because yesterday they ADDED 3700+ deaths that MAY have been Coronavirus related, but they have no proof and never will.

Does anyone know what Trump means by “opening the economy again”? Obviously we have to get people back to work ASAP otherwise we could have a depression on our hands, but what has changed? People still are at risk

Number of people died at home and were not counted

I just ran the numbers again from the New York Times data pulled from github...

date cases deaths
2020-04-09 159937 7067
2020-04-10 170512 7844
2020-04-11 180458 8627
2020-04-12 188694 9385
2020-04-13 195031 10056
2020-04-14 202208 10834

Looks like the progression I have been seeing...

In the end the only way to measure the true death toll will be to compare the actual overall deaths to the expected number of deaths.

In the US about 85 people per 10,000 die each year.
In Italy the rate is 103 per 10,000 because they have an older population.

Without the Wuhan flu we would have had 2,750,000 people die in the US this year. What will the actual number be... maybe 2,850,000???

DOJ should be investigating NY and Deblasio for fraud. The more COVID deaths, the more the money they get, which is a dumbass way of doing things. Should be rewarded for having less, not more. Thats the reason Chomo wont allow the Trump drugs to be used. More deths = Mo Money! Mo Money! Mo Money!

Not directed at you Kas, but this cannot be stated enough:

1. NY wont get a penny for people that die at home. COVID money for hospitals is through Medicare.

2. Many of these people were told to self quarantine, and they were suspected but not tested because there were not enough tests.

3. ALL of the flu deaths in the United States are based on the death certificate. Pneumonia during flu season: Its a flu related death. Influenza is not a reportable cause of death. ALL DEATHS RELATED TO INFLUENZA ARE ALSO ESTIMATED.

I don’t write this change anyone’s minds. I am not arguing for or against any of these deaths being counted as anything—people die at home all the time. Some probably did, some probably died of something else.

This whole death count thing is stupid. The whole prediction thing is stupid.

We should base being open or closed on whether the local hospitals have room. If there are five ICU beds...the the world run free. If they get filled up, start slowing stuff down.

Jerking the throttle open and closed is not the answer to running any “machine.” Steady pressure applied is always the best ways to prevent damage.
