Still missing the undiagnosed because of lack of testing. That greatly impacts the mortality rate. I’m not arguing or coming from a bad place here because it’s really easy to misconstrue these comments. The lack of testing is the major flaw in this thing.
For instance, recently a kid in Tennessee had symptoms, tested positive. A few days later, 3 more of his family members have similar symptoms. They are told they won't be tested because of lack of tests and the fact that they are already in quarantine. Add these types of cases to all the people who are asymptomatic, the total number goes way up, while the fatality rate goes way down.
Ok.. Gotcha. Thanks for clarifyingI'm not saying that the viruses are closely related, I am saying that the reaction and symptoms are very similar. Influenza is one of the most complex problems in infectious disease control because there are so many rapidly evolving strains that even the CDC cannot keep up with it.
Someone give this man a medal. Thank you for a competent and positive response & statement. View attachment 267741
There is no "fact", there are predictions. I gave the high end of expert predictions.1. And there's the rub. You're using 1-2m as if it's fact. I think that number is preposterous. jmo. otoh I haven't heard one reputable doctor or infectious disease expert give those numbers. And by reputable, I mean someone like Dr Fauci. Not someone on social media or tv or so and so said. Doctors are just like the rest of us, they have opinions, but those opinions aren't necessarily formed by info any better than mine. They can tell you what's happening in the hospital, etc., but they aren't the experts on this disease and therefore can't say how many can or will die. That's just someone's guess that many others are dangerously running with.
2. If you'd read my post with an open mind you'd see the comparison makes perfect sense. If our primary goal is no or few deaths no matter the cost, then we'd be reacting to other threats, whether they be flu, suicide, homicide, or whatever, with the same earnestness. Politics.
They've tested fewer than 1% of their population. You don't think they've missed anybody?
I completely believe that 1.1-2.3M could die if we don't take strong corrective measures. That's exactly what the math says. These painful measures are designed to change that outcome, which I believe will happen.
I just want mass testing. Let’s get some numbers so we can get a better handle on this.Math doesn’t add up even using worse case ITALY so far. 3-4 months and 14k globally. It just doesn’t. Also, I do not think this 15 day pause is a strong corrective measure either. People will have this and never be in the numbers because they have no symptoms nor die either.
his answers hardly ever make sense and he talks at a third grade level. Sometimes he has snowflake answers like "what a nasty question". That coming from Mr. Bone spurs himself. Comical.Unlike China, the US is out every day speaking and in the case of Trump taking question after question. It’s good to see.
Well that's another consideration here as well... Keeping people under wraps right now, and for ever how long it lasts, buys some time for researchers while we're hopefully not spreading this at the rates it's capable of.some people have immunity to this...they think. its my understanding from reading that's how viruses work.
what they dont understand is the positive test AFTER symptoms are gone. lots not understood, like are there two strains - one more aggressive than other? Why elderly so much more impacted? Does quinine/zpack work? what about other anti virals?
Yeah Jake, flatten the curve. Troof.
Can't compare one to the other. The world took extreme measures to keep it that way.Math doesn’t add up even using worse case ITALY so far. 3-4 months and 14k globally. It just doesn’t. Also, I do not think this 15 day pause is a strong corrective measure either. People will have this and never be in the numbers because they have no symptoms nor die either.
