As of Thursday, nearly 16,000 people in New York have died of virus-related complications. With 250,000-plus confirmed cases, the mortality rate would be as high as 16 percent. With 2.7 million cases, it would be around 0.5 percent -- much lower, though still much higher than the seasonal flu.
And that’s the reason you don’t quarantine well people.
LOL! Good one.
Says they are finding many, many people with antibodies who did not know they were sick. Can you say herd immunity?
13% is nothing
Wake me up when we have 80%
Then you can say that
Also look up “herd immunity”
Infectino is a town in northern Italy that has suffered more Covid-19 related deaths than in any other locality.
LA county if health estimated 400,000 cases with 600 dead, thats just 0.15 percent ! Also ,USA has is least 1/20 th the deaths that we were first warned about when they were also saying death rate was 3 percent and there would be 2 million deaths in USA , now not so... Data is all over the map, unreliable ,, the only conclusions we can draw, medical experts cant do math, probably why they went into the soft sciences to begin with .

“Infectino”?
Latino Typhoid Mary?
If you want to see communist propoganda, just look at this chart with the china curve.
Who could even possibly believe anything that the chi-coms say.
I don't think that's correct.
The CDC cited 0.1% mortality rate for flu includes an estimate for unreported cases. Without the estimate I believe the mortality rate is around 0.2%.
But look at it this way, there weren’t any deaths from;
Heart attacks
Strokes
Influenza
Auto accidents
Gun shots
or anything else outside of COVID-19.
More of you nonsensical crap? Did you learn nothing from your idiotic posts yesterday?
“...arent the aging baby boomers who are dying from the virus now 10 years older, and in worse shape, than they were when the SARS epidemic broke under Obama?”
Somewhat related to your question...is COVID’s mortality rate more/less/the same as SARS in vulnerable groups? There was early data showing an 8% mortality rate in the over-70 group, but even then I didn’t see a comparative rate for SARS...and it’s less clear now. It seems that that number is more critical than the overall mortality rate for vulnerable groups to determine their future actions.
Q. What do you call the China line on your graph?
A. the Punchline
Is 5 times worse than a typical flu season worth throwing 20% of Americans out of work - with more to come? How’s your job doing?
When government workers start losing their jobs left and right due to a severe decline in tax revenue....
Most of the positive cases still have not recovered.
Most of the population who will eventually get the virus don’t have it yet.
To make claims about the “mortality rate” at this point is very premature....
The media “believes” them. LOL.
no one is dismissing it and no one is dismissing how infectino it can be....
but the insane "social distancing" lockdown is nothing but window dressing....
sickly people should quarantined themselves, period....those of us out and about can take our chances....
Now we know why the are calling all death CCP virus deaths.
In New Jersey as of yesterday the death rate based on confirmed cases is over 5%. In my county which is suburban/rural the percentage is just over 6%. In my township the percentage is over 12% and it is not urban at all. Assuming that 50% of deaths were in nursing homes that still leaves numbers higher than many people realize.
Just an FYI, for those looking to return to business as usual. I can respect that position and understand that not every state is identical. Just saying be careful..... this disease spreads fast and it kills old and young people. It can take down and kill a relatively healthy middle aged person in a few days, Ive seen that happen more than once locally. For many that it does not kill, it leaves them all screwed up, possibly for the rest of their lives. I am not saying cower in fear, just use common sense and dont be in a rush to take risks. Also be aware that as soon as you open up your state there are a bunch of people from the hot zone that are heading your way to escape this situation. Some of them are going to be sick.
In the first few weeks the more rural areas in NJ saw little infection but even with quarantine the numbers are creeping up now. I didnt take this seriously at first and I think some of it has been way overblown but living in the middle of it now, I do see that this is no joke and it definately is not the flu.
Hmmm...
You don’t suppose Comcast could lose their investment, or be threaten with the lose of their investment, say, if NBC News said something truthful but still critical of the Chinese Communist Party, do you?
Because I also wonder why I never hear anything but positive news about the Chicoms on NBC.
I just assumed the Journalist were fellow travelers.
