I was wrong about Covid 19, and you probably was too.

[Blues Man]

350000000 people in the US

32356 confirmed corona cases

.009% of the population

Good to see that you are ok with people dying.

Not everyone who gets it will die

tell me do you panic every flu season where tens of thousands of people die?

 

[Blues Man]

What's the population of Japan compared to the US?

If you're going to make that comparison use percentages if you can figure out how to calculate them

For example in my state .006% of the population has been confirmed by testing to have been infected.

Sorry I don't see this as the apocalypse it is being made out to be

There's an easy way to see that. The chart shows "cases per 1M population", or in other words density.

Japan has 9 cases per 1M population. The US has 98, which is 11 times more.

So far.

Still not that big of a deal

It is if you consider that this time yesterday that 98 number was 68.
And that entering last weekend it was 6.

Still not panicking

whatever.

But you got your answer.

I'll start to worry when the percentage pf the population infected reaches double digits

No one was ready for this kind of crisis that will end up touching us all to some degree.

Thats only because the incompetent fuckup in the WH claimed it was not a big deal and a hoax.

Nope. Wouldn't have mattered who was in the White House, and wouldn't have mattered what they said. Once the dominoes started to fall around the world, our fate was sealed.
The world in 2020 is so mobile, nothing could have stopped this. It would have helped some if we would have tightened up our borders and restricted certain countries from coming here, but this would have only slightly delayed the inevitable.

Nope. Government action matters. Trump failed. Japan has only 1,086 cases. The United States has 32,000+. New York State alone has 17,530 and New York State is five times smaller than Japan in population. This is Trump's mess, the buck stops with him. The only question is how bad things will get. Hopefully New York state reaches a peak soon and then starts to level off.

As I finish writing this, the United States is now at 38,000+ cases and New York State is at 22,000+ cases. Japan still only has 1,086 cases. If New York State were a country, it would have the 6th largest total in the world now.

Lol blues I have to say you are something else. In another OP I told you how useless it is to post the number of confirmed infected as a percentage of the total population and here you are doing exactly that. Did I give you that idea or did you come up with it by yourself?

I will explain something to you, pretending you have the slightest interest in intellectual honesty. At the moment testing capability is still seriously lagging the demand. U.S. Coronavirus Testing Starts To Ramp Up But Still Lags So confirmed cases almost certainly doesn't reflect the actual number. Secondly even more important. At the moment the US is still at the beginning of the infection cycle. So the number you gave doesn't come close to reflect what it will inevitably be.

You like percentages. Covid 19 at a 50 percent infection rate in the US and 1 percent mortality would cause 1.6 million deaths in the US alone. This is a more than 3 times lower mortality rate than is currently the case going by the current official WHO numbers.

Bullshit, libtardos called him a racist when he stopped travel. Maybe if the libtardos wasn't trying to impeach Trump all the time more attention could have been paid to China's outright lies about the virus.

Keep up the feigned outrage, it's crushing the Democrat party.

The only people I see feigning outrage, are Trump supporters. They're angry with Democrats, the media, and China for making their Feckless Leader look bad.

I watched that on Tim's channel a few minutes ago. That vid absolutely destroys the libtardos.

it pretty much leaves no excuse other than severe TDS or that they are real trolls,,,

I put this in Politics because if I put it in health, few will see it. As well as politics of this virus was clouding my mind in the same way it has clouded all of our minds.
As mentioned before, my son is a Respiratory Care Specialist at one of the nations leading Children's hospitals and my daughter is a Respiratory Therapist at a large metropolitan hospital/trauma center. When I say they are on the front lines of this, I mean they are on the front lines.
Up until Friday, I was not that concerned about getting it, or my wife or the two of them. Like most, I was comfortable in the knowledge that it is primarily a concern for the very old/folks with underlying illness.
That is no longer the case.
This weekend, all over the country hospitals are getting much younger patients that require life saving care - and they have no other illness. And the numbers you are seeing reported are not representative of the actual numbers. It is higher.
Like many, I scoffed at all of these restrictions the government was laying out. 4 states with "stay at home" orders. I thought this was over reacting.
Until I got a call from both my kids. Especially my daughter, upset and for the first time afraid and scared. "It is really bad here Dad, we are getting more and more and they are getting younger".
A 32 year old, who 48 hours earlier was at work, feeling a little funny. Last night he was on life support and fighting for his life. Add more to that. Kids also.

The situation is evolving. And it is changing in not a good way.
Take it serious folks. Don't wait until it effects you or someone you know. Change what you are doing now.
Thank God our government took this more seriously than we did.... I guess they knew more than us.




On a good note. The malaria drug is showing promise. Yesterday a 66 year old at the hospital was in critical condition on a breathing machine. He has received 2 malaria shots, is now off the machine and sitting up and talking. It isn't working for everyone, but it is clearly having positive results on some.

/——/ It's way over blown. I was in NY Presbyterian hospital on Friday. The medical staff was calm and no one wore masks or gloves, unless they were treating patients. Our Oncologist said wash your hands and avoid large crowds if it makes you feel better.

BTW, the pharma company that makes the malaria drug is stock symbol TEVA. I’ll see if the stock shoots up on Monday.

You flatter yourself. I don't make note of the anonymous people who trade posts with me.

And when we get to a 50% infection rate let me know.

i have a feeling that the mortality rate will be much lower than advertised because not 100% of all people are tested and we already know that people might have already had the virus and recovered but their symptoms were so mild they never bothered to go to a doctor

In case you haven't noticed I already cut the mortality rate by 300 percent. I also wonder why you think the infection rate will not reach that high? If anything that's a conservative number according to health experts.

So you didn't get it from me fine. Why o why do you think it's a meaningful number?

COVID-19: U.S. at a Glance*

• Total cases: 15,219
• Total deaths: 201
• Jurisdictions reporting cases: 54 (50 states, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, and US Virgin Islands)

* Data include both confirmed and presumptive positive cases of COVID-19 reported to CDC or tested at CDC since January 21, 2020, with the exception of testing results for persons repatriated to the United States from Wuhan, China and Japan. State and local public health departments are now testing and publicly reporting their cases. In the event of a discrepancy between CDC cases and cases reported by state and local public health officials, data reported by states should be considered the most up to date.
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the U.S.

The current data just doesn't show what your brave family members say they are seeing....Keep in mind that we are still in the flu season...I wonder how many entering hospitals have the seasonal flu...and not necessarily coronavirus....

Your data are not even anywhere near accurate.

Total cases is, at the moment, 32,356 -- 31,764 of which are currently active (unresolved), of which 795 are in serious/critical condition. Of those cases that have resolved, 414 (70%) are dead.

Great. Zero persons in my entire county, or any one surrounding it, have tested positive.

Yay us. Fringe benefits of living rural.

But you won't see me going over them thar mountains to Tennessee, or down to that other Carolina. Don't need to. Gas is cheap now.

It's never smart to be cavalier about threats however, it is also not smart to be hysterical. The MSM and CNN (and others) are making it hard for everyone with their knee-jerk hysteria when it comes to blaming our President for being a 'racist' by calling the virus 'Chinese' (because that is where it came from), blaming Trump for not assuaging the supposed 'fear' of most Americans while he is doing everything in his power to keep US informed and up to date WITHOUT spreading fear.

How could you possibly have a problem with that message? Do you not understand it?
