I’m more likely to die in my bathroom from this virus.

And this is why other countries think we are a stupid country. And they are right.

While you panic, the rest of us know 14,000 will die in bathrooms, 15,000 in our cars.

Why aren’t you banning cars and bathrooms?

You're insane.

Comparing the number of cases without reference the size of the population is meaningless.

No. Again, that is stupid and wrong.

If you were to plot expected cases based on R0, or try to determine R0 from the data on the number of cases, at no point would you need the population number of the country.

 

[jc456]

Just looked at the China virus update and number of critical cases dropped another percentage point today down to 4%

 

[toobfreak]

We're catching up to Iran for number of cases.

Closing in on Germany too.

lol Not even close. The US has over four times the population of Iran. If you want to compare statistics, you need to multiply Iran's number of cases and deaths by four.

A meandering, ethically vacuous article. We do have data that shows us possible ranges of R0 and morbidity rates without proper care. Should we prepare for Trump's imaginary miracle, or for worse possible scenarios? Easy answer.

The only real insight there is that, given the uncertainty, we may have over reacted, and we will only know this in hindsight. Wow, that's... deep.

Yeah, of course you don’t think America is the greatest nation on earth.

Anybody anywhere who thinks they're the greatest anything on earth is fucking full of himself.

Thanks for validating the Left hate America.

Thanks for validating Mass Narcissistic Personality Disorder and its dependence on the art of self-delusion.

To put the whole thing more colloquially, any time you catch yourself going HEY LOOKA ME, should be a giant red flag.

4 potential coronavirus treatments that researchers are working on right now
Possible cure? France is using erythromycin, and a malaria drug that is showing some effectiveness. Both meds are readily available.

"erythromycin"

I think you meant, chloroquine. Erythromycin is an antibiotic.

FUCK OFF fly smasher. No one takes anything you say seriously. If you cannot refute that article given me by a doctor written by an expert at Stanford University you should go STFU.

How utterly fascinating. I'm guessing this is the first two lines of your grate-American novel?

They are using the antibiotic, in combination with the chloroquine apparently in France, with some success?

Really? Where are you reading this? At first glance, that doesn't make sense, as antibiotics are for bacterial infections.

Heard it mentioned today on TV. I’m not a doctor. It’s just what I heard. Don’t have a link. Fauci mentioned it yesterday, and said they were using it in France. He wants to have further testing, before he comments further. Not a done deal, but maybe gives some hope.

Try to pay attention. The conversation was about comparing the numbers between two countries, Iran and the US and the numbers are meaningless in that regard without also looking at the size of the populations in those two countries. To compare how bad the outbreak is the relevant statistics are infections per capita or deaths per capita, etc.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Yes I know, and what you said was stupid and wrong. The virus isn't sprinkled evenly across the country from outer space.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Very few Americans have died from the virus. Those that have died have had significant medical issues before they got the virus.

You, of course, just made that up.

Furthermore, they big concern is our hospitals getting overwhelmed and not being able to treat sick people. Even a challenged person like you should be able to understand that, without proper care, the death rate will be much higher.

Just look at the death rates in Italy.

Just look at the death rates in Italy.

Isn’t socialist healthcare grand!

Italy has universal healthcare AND private insurance above and beyond that, which means the poor and those who can not afford private health insurance can still get healthcare and the wealthier can choose private doctors, private hospital, what ever they want. Do you have a problem with that? Does the idea of poor people having access to affordable health care bother you?

The problem is...and epidemic of this size hitting the U.S. is going to overwelm OUR healthcare system which is not socialist. We already have a shortage of doctors and of hospital beds and hospitals have been closing down.

The reason our healthcare is overwhelmed is panic. My grandson's children's hospital told them to self-quarantine because they were swamped - not with Corona but otherwise healthy kids with the regula old run of the mill flu virus.

My doctors put me out of work for 4 weeks because of the people I work closely with can give it to me, and my system is on shaky ground already.
