runamok27 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 14 hours ago, Jingthing said: It seems to be about 10 times more deadly than typical seasonal flu. The new information coming out seems to indicate that it is about the same as the flu. Stanford University and the University of Southern California completed studies that showed the infection rate is 50 to 80 times higher than reported numbers. If you plug those numbers in to the currently infected compared to the death rate you get the flu on the low end and something far less than the flu on the high end. This flu is deadly for the elderly, those with compromised immune systems and folks with pre-existing conditions, what flu isn't, but for healthy people the death rate is statistically insignificant. We did not know this months ago so the reaction was reasonable but as we learn more we need to adjust what we are doing to reflect reality and the reality is, Covid-19 is not a global killer. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to Tesco this morning and some of the external counters (mobile phones etc.) were being uncovered and it looked like stuff that had been stored was being wheeled out. It has been apparent all week in the shopping centers in the provincial town near me that restaurants etc are preparing to open again. i think government wants to avoid announcing decisions much in advance for the understandable reason that the second they do people won:t wait any further. But they have likely told big business already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was always expected that the true mortality rate would be not dissimiliar to severe influenza. But that does not mean it is not a global killer. The Spanish flu - which was influenza - killed somewhere between 17 - 50 million people after infected up to a third of the world:s population. An infectious disease doesn't have to have a high mortality rate to be extremely deadly. It just needs to be really infectious and most for the world completely non-immune to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll hazard a guess - and this may upset some - perhaps New York City has many more vulnerable people with immune systems compromised by obesity, poor diet, (diabetes etc.) and a less effective or certainly less comprehensive (social or socialist according to your point of view) health system. These two things may lead to many more "pre - existing conditions" which both compromise the immune system and inhibit access to healthcare. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 10 largest cities (Tokyo, Dhaka, Mumbai, Cairo, mexico City, Dehli, Beijing, Sao Paulo, Osaka, Shanghai), Have a combined population of 231M. Their combined deaths from Coronavirus is 930. NYC has 8M people. And 11,000 deaths. A death rate 200 times the average. The world has a population of 7.8 billion. 200,000 have died from Coronavirus. The U.S. has 328 million. 54,000 have died from Coronavirus. That's 7 times the death rate of the rest of the world. Odd ... Considering that two thirds of the World was never even on lockdown. The U.S. has a covid-19 death rate 7 times higher than the world average. And NYC has a death rate 200 times higher than the world's 10 largest cities. Could it be that the U.S. pays hospitals $39,000 for every patient diagnosed with Covid19? Nah, forget it. Couldn't be that. When faced with facts that threaten a person's belief ... That Person will do anything to intellectually discredit those facts rather than question their own beliefs. The "Coronavirus" has proven that, Over and over. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reported case and ventilated patient is not the same as dead patient. Even if you are crazy enough to believe the hospitals would on purpose wrongly diagnose patients as Covid-19 patients or put them on ventilators without the need for it, you do need to be a bit crazier if you believe that they kill them too ... to hide the evidence? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
