As the number of cases has expanded, the mortality rate has declined. It will likely decline even further if and when those without symptoms can be diagnosed and counted.
US #CoronaVirusDeathRate by date:
4.06% March 8 (22 deaths of 541 cases)
3.69% March 9 (26 of 704)
3.01% March 10 (30 of 994)
2.95% March 11 (38 of 1,295)

Finally somebody who gets it.
No they didn't. They shut down Hubei Province which has a population of only 58 million. China has a population of a massive 1.4 Billion. And even Hubei Province is being reopened as we speak.
“People with this are in the ICU on average 18 days”?
Just where do you get this? Did you make this up? Please show the reference.
I believe you are panic-stricken and need mental health counseling.
Headed in the direction of less than 1%.
When this is over lots of experts are going to have scrambled eggs on their faces.
It depends on what we do now. We’ll see.
“There is no need to panic.” When have the panic-prone reacted to a “need”? They naturally panic because of their underlying weak nature, their inability to think critically, their inability to use rational thought and their tendency to react emotionally to ANY threat.
you mean ventilators don’t you.....the word “respirator” has several different connotations.
no, I don'think so..you're only testing people that feel moved to come in and get checked...in reality, many people sit out the flu/covid buy just staying home and doing self care....
we will only get guesstimates unless we do randon testing.
Have some faith that the majority of these professionals will rise to whatever the situation brings.
To society in general: Toughen up.
There are many, many imported Chinese workers making “Italian” shoes in northern Italy. Hmmm...
Many “experts” aren’t really. Look at the accuracy history of prognostications from economic experts, political “experts” and others. LOL
I think Britt probably does understand. It's not that tough a concept. It's just that his semantics are vague. I would think that what Britt really means to say is that he is tracking "the mortality rate up to this point", not the final mortality rate. Obviously, since he is saying that this rate is changing, he fully understands that not all of the denominator data is available.
Also, the death rate is not the issue. It is the infection/sick rate that will shut down the system.
Both the death rate and the real sick rate matter. But the current sick rate is also very inaccurate, because of the low level of available of testing.
Why is everyone so focused on the death rate? That’s not what is causing them problem.
Given the ever increasing rate of testing, the death rate is the best indicator of the rate of change of how many people are getting COVID-19, although it lags by about a week.
Pedantics.
The argument of the Clintons.
Even that doesn't appear to be the case.
Nonsense.
Freepers are probably the most non normalcy biased people in the country.
For example we are the ones who believe the Ben Franklin perspective that "this is a Republic if you can keep it".
Perhaps you don't understand what real normally bias is, or perhaps you don't understand what some people here are trying to tell you.
While a I don't doubt that there are a few here who are normalcy biased, your broad brush diagnosis of people who disagree with you is careless.
Right back at you.
Won’t work.
You see, it only works when it’s true.

It would REALLY help if Trump would start doing daily fireside chats to start calming people down. He did an excellent job in the Rose Garden on Friday (Dow rose 2000) and yesterday telling people to chill out and quit ransacking Walmart.
Delegating that part of the job to CDC bureaucrats and 50 state governors is NOT working.
