Trump: States already clear of Virus can open 'literally' tomorrow.

It's down to below 0.5% in my country. We've had a total of 12 new cases (not deaths, just new infections) in the entire country in the past 24 hours. I can't help you with America, sorry. Other than to say that any state with below 1% growth should have closed borders.

 

Carry being the operative word. They will carry it throughout the community, which will have potentially catastrophic consequences. Remember, probably only half of America's adult population are healthy enough to avoid complications. If you smoke, drink, carry excess weight, have low level of physical fitness, insulin resistance, or any one of a multitude of factors common in the broader population ... you're at risk. You may not die .. but you could be severely ill for weeks, needing full time support in the home. You may not be able to work for two months after recovery. Just think about that for a minute.

Remember, it's not about you .. it's about keeping community transmission low.

 

And on use of the expression, mortality rate....read:

One takes a % of the number of deaths v the number infected. Source:

You can see the figures here:

"world of meters"?

Lolz....

Here you go, from a previous post of mine.

Sorry, I'll take CDC statistical methodology of "worldometers".

 

Had you read your own CDC link you would have discovered that they INCLUDE the methodology that is being used.

Death-to-case ratio = 47,681 ⁄ 849,092 × 1 = 0.0562

or

= 47,681 ⁄ 849,092 × 100 = 5.62 per 100

Which is 5.62% deaths to cases here in America USING the CDC statistical methodology.

 

More angels dancing on the head of a pin?

Arguing about "the rate" of death is ridiculous

Talk to me about the NUMBERS...

By the end of the week there will likely be 50,000 dead people...who died in the span of five weeks.

Read that slowly

And screw your arguments about "rates"

 

There are some hints that the real infection rate is 50-80 times of what’s known. I think in reality it’s closer to a few hundred times more than known.
That would make the mortality rate a heck of a lot smaller.

 

Cuomo stated today they think almost 14 million people have been infected and cured without being tested.

 

Yes, it would but that higher infection rate means more people are likely to get it and therefore it kills more people ultimately. To put this another way even if it has the same mortality rate as the flu it could end up killing 4 times as many people.
