2,800,000 or thereabouts is the number of cases. Population say 340,000,000 So the government death rates are tied to per 100,000 of population. This makes sense to you? Not to me. The severity, intentionally, of the disease gets diminished when the number of deaths is measured against 337,000,000 people who don’t have the disease. The true death rate of the disease is 130,000 deaths resulting from the reported 2,800,000 cases, or 130,000/2,800,000. Within that context the data has to be reduced to whatever subsets you want to look at. Number of deaths of those over 70 for example divided by number of cases of those over 70 etc etc Yesterday the overall was 4.8% of those who have contracted the disease died in the U.S. And that too is inaccurate to the extent of the lag time of deaths

You have your very own definition for death rate. You are special.

Batting average in baseball per player? Number of hits divided by number of at bats. It’s not number of hits divided by number of fans in the stands who don’t get an at-bat

Number of deaths from Covid divided by number of cases of Covid is the only true death rate of Covid. The government doesn’t want you thinking about that

Sorry I make you feel inadequate. It’s not me, I can’t take credit for it. You’re just inadequate without influence from me

You ran away last night from the questioning. Going to stick around tonight?

What is/was your occupation? I mean are you like that character from Good Will Hunting? This hidden genius overlooked and unknown by the medical community.

No I’m leaving now. Math is mutually exclusive from medicine. But medicine uses math. Fast Fact. Numbers make the world go around. Many things about daily life are described/and or regulated by numbers

This Covid 19 is no where near over. The numbers will be whatever they will be whenever it is over. If you want to continue to compare the flu, as you continue to put it, to the Covid 19 that’s your right. Believe what you want

Your statement about the flu has nothing to dO with my statement about Covid. I’ll repeat my two statements. 1) There was a record number of new cases today. 55,000. I’m speculating That record will be broken again in two days and then again in two further days.

2) the true measure of deaths of the corona virus is not the way the government computed it. Rather it is the number of deaths resulting from Covid by the number of cases of Covid
The death rate of Covid is greater than the government portrays it.

I don’t compare it to the flu because the flu is worse. Over 99% survive. This is the most overblown thing I’ve ever seen and we all know why

From the page where the graphic was plucked, do you info showing otherwise?

The United States and the European Union have comparable population sizes, but the trajectories of their COVID-19 outbreaks have been vastly different. New data released by the European Center for Disease Control and Prevention shows that while there are around 4,000 new COVID cases in the EU each day, the United States is now recording more than 30,000 new cases of the virus each day – eight times higher than Europe. At least 23 US states have reported significant upticks in new daily COVID-19 cases in recent days, raising fears of an approaching "second wave" of infection. And while some politicians in the US have ascribed the difference to discrepancies in testing, a close analysis shows that the United States and the EU are conducting roughly the same number of tests per million people. Here's a look at the seven-day rolling average of new COVID cases in the EU and the US since March.


The Graphic Truth: Two different pandemics - EU vs US

Ok.... there’s that..... now I’m wondering if the number of cases is just a money grab by US hospitals since they’re being incentivized. The EU is mostly socialized healthcare..... isn’t it?

For every person who has yet to die from COVID-19/perished without being properly counted as a COVID-19 fatality, how many people do you believe that there are who have already contracted the disease but aren't included in this 2.8mm case count?

Jesus Christ, don't you get it !? The 4th grader who gets it will be fine. But his parents may not. His grandmother definitely not.

The risk is not just to the initial family member who get it. Why is this so hard for virus deniers to grasp?

So we are going to keep them home from school so that grandmother has to baby sit? Genius.

The Flu is not worse. I’m also not sure of where you are getting your 99% survive number from.

This comes from extrapolating the estimates that were put out regarding how many were/are actually infected. Not just the ones who tested positive.

Flu has a much higher death rate among children.

Why are we six months into this pandemic and yet there are no known plans for therapeutics In the US? A mild to moderate patient is sent home with NOTHING. No plan. Just isolate and pray.

Come back when you’re in ICU condition. No nebulizer to use as home? Albuterol or corticosteroids that counter the inflammation?

Yet, the medical machine won’t come out with any therapeutic plan to keep people from reaching this stage. I’m sorry did you can’t figure that out your crazy.

I haven’t seen data that supports this. Neither viruses show a significant mortality risk for pediatric patients as far as I am concerned.
