Data shows daily coronavirus deaths are decreasing worldwide. Media misleads with cumulative statistics and graphs

With coronavirus death toll in the U.S. rising to 19, people are becoming increasing afraid of contracting the disease. To date, there are 3,803 reported deaths with 109,835 confirmed cases worldwide. Also a total of 60,694 people have recovered from the virus. As the fear of coronavirus continues to spread, there are a growing number of reports of empty shop shelves as people rush to stock up on basic products such as hand soap, sanitizers, tissue papers, and many more. It got so bad that some stores are now limiting purchases of these products, more due to coronavirus fears.

The fears stem from the misleading information coming from mainstream media about the trend of the virus. The media shows the number of fatalities continuously increasing, on a time-based graph. The problem with this is that, the media only uses a cumulative graph to illustrate coronavirus deaths. However, if you look deeper at the raw data provided by John Hopkins on GITHUB, the number of global deaths per day are decreasing worldwide.

Hats off to Evan at TradeGuru, who first noticed the discrepancy in media’s cumulative statistics and created a more accurate chart. According to Evan’s analysis using the raw data provided by John Hopkins University, “the virus is decreasing in hotspots such as South Korea, China and Hong Kong (the first to deal with the novel virus). The press tells us it’s an outbreak, or a pandemic on the precipice. Both situations would suggest exponential growth. The actual data doesn’t suggest exponential growth of fatalities at all. The data suggests decline. In fact, the crude death rate is statistically 0.”

Also, it’s now being estimated that 80% of individuals that contract the coronavirus are asymptomatic or midly-symptomatic. And in this viral video, Rebecca Fraiser says she “never really felt unwell” after contracting the virus, and it “sounds like it is the case for the majority of people.”

What is the # of ICU beds per capita in Milan compared to your town?

The head of the Lombardy’s intensive care crisis unit says the health system is on the brink of collapse, intensive care being set up in hallways. By March 26 they predict ~18,000 #Covid19 cases in Lombardy, of which ~3,000 will need intensive care.

Italy Lombardy region is on the brink. Retired doctors summoned, nursing students field promoted to graduation. Just under 10% of Lombardy’s #COVID19 cases need ICU. 10% of doctors/nurses have already caught #coronavirus and in quarantine. Jesus.

“BECAUSE AN EFFING TSUNAMI IS COMING, THAT HAS ALREADY HIT MANY OTHER COUNTRIES, AND DULLARDS STILL REFUSE TO LOOK AT REALITY!”

Got it, capital letters make you look like an expert. Sorry, no sale. MERS and SARS had the same start. The difference this time is we have a POTUS who took early, drastic and effective action. You go ahead, panic. I will smile and laugh at you. Fair?

“Intresting is the areas affected most run along the coastline states. California, Washington,Texas, Ny, NJ, New England and Florida gulf area.”

that could be simply because the coastal areas are much more popular points of entry to the U.S. than fly-over-america, and it’s taking longer to penetrate from the coasts into the interior ...

“Doubling every 5 days” doesn’t do it for you?

You do know the difference between the daily tide (flu) and a tidal wave (CV)?

I disagree....if you follow the areas most afficted they run along the coastline states. Inland is a much different story altogether.

You’re unfortunately correct. Using Iran as an indicator for pretty much anything is foolish.

Italy has socialized medicine. They have an aging population of heavy smokers. They have near third-world public health.

And you forgot CAPS MAKE YOU SOUND MORE SERIOUS.

Milan is more similar to Boston or Bonn than to Teheran or Tijuana.

Why is their case # doubling every five days?

“The moment things settle down in S. Korea and Italy” Not sure who would be ranting a cover up. I am totally discounting China, I have never like their numbers from the get go.

Anyway I think once things to settle down in South Korea and Italy we will have a good idea what the real numbers are.

I do wonder why Italy has a very high death rate compare to South Korea. Wonder if is the age of the population.

I have a hunch President Trump is correct. The real numbers for the USA will be between .4 to .8. The flu is .1 according to multiply post and other places on the web.

Summary the Coronavirus will not be as bad as the Spanish Flu, but will be worst then the Flu. It will mainly effect people above 65.

“OMG, a serial killer has just killed every family on your block, one house after the other, somebody tries to warn you to take precautions, and you say,”

ROTFLMAO!

Really? You need to chill dude, unless you are living in a filthy, third-world nursing home in a corrupt, snake-led communist area.

Sleepers gotta sleep Travis. I’ve been where you are with this, prepped back in January. Try to talk to people about being at least ready for supply chain disruption.

Crickets.

Now I just stay away from others as best I can and treat every surface as being infected.

People need to avoid crowds now.
