We are all ****ed with this joke of an administration. The guy couldn't answer basic questions on the outbreak.
CDC says to expect coronavirus to spread across US
- Thread starter BelemNole
- Start date
The death rate is for finished cases not active cases. In other words we don’t know how many of those 80,000 will recover. Governments and the media are purposefully “misinterpreting it” to say “Hey only 2k out of 80k dead!” Yes, but how many recovered versus how many died?
Right now it’s 12,000 roughly have been deemed “recovered” and healthy and 2,711 have died. So of the finished cases about 18% have died and only 82% survived.
Only 27,000 have recovered. I.e. >50,000 people may still be at-risk of dying.
It's about 27k recovered, 2.7k dead.
10%
No doubt that will drop as diagnosis is faster, treatment options improved.
Let's say your right. Let's say that it's a 98% survival rate. If the virus spreads across 70% of the US that's 4.6 million dead.
Cold season huh?
He also asked to divert $500M+funds from ongoing battle against ebola. What could possibly go wrong?
US has already submitted a vaccine for testing.
Trump's asked for $2B to fight the virus. Nancy will probably sit on it for 6 months and say it's not an issue.
Any more BS you want to throw out there to get updated on?
Stop watching CNN.
Trump literally said that China had it under control so it was nothing to worry about.
I didn’t see 27k recovered, I only saw 12k as an official number. But either way, you’re right. The number of dead to recovered is HIGH whether it’s currently 18% or 7%.
I'd have been loading that fat f*** up with as much saturated fat and cholesterol as possible. That's what he wants, let him have it.
Saw this morning that data is showing that the infection rate of children seems to be significantly lower than for adults, or that children seem to have milder symptoms. Both of these seem like good news.
Is there some contest today where Trumpanzees are trying to out-dumb their peers?
He also said that when it got warmer it would go away. Effing moron in control of us.
It takes at least a month just to know if you're sick. And we still don't have a vaccine. That means this thing will still be going at least into April. This is nothing to mess around with.
Let's go with the lower numbers - 40% infected and 99% survival rate. That's still 1.3 million dead. The flu will kill 15-20k.
The WHO said 2-3% died from the Spanish flu who were infected. That is the same rate as the Coronavirus.
Hard to believe this is who we have as President. He whole strategy is to simply hope coronavirus cures itself.
No. A private company has submitted a vaccine for testing, funded by the CDC.
Testing will require 12-18 months for safety and efficacy.
If we want to ENSURE a viable vaccine within 2 years, we should be setting up 10 vaccine candidates and testing ALL of them. That is how you guarantee success: parallel pathways, so that if one is ineffective or unsafe, you have 9 more to run with.
Announcing to companies that the US will pay for the testing for the first 10 companies to produce candidate vaccines would be called "leadership". Have you seen that happen yet?
Oh believe me, I'm taking it seriously. This thing will be an issue for at least the next year and a half, probably longer. As I care about kids more than any other group, I just found it to be good news that kids don't seem to be as at risk from it as adults.
I honestly think it is out of the bag and they have been delaying telling folks to avoid panic. I mean, you have a hotel in the Canary Islands on shut down, yet they want us to believe not one tourist has infected someone in NYC or Orlando? IMHO, due to the long incubation period, its already spread fairly far and wide as it has been brewing for a month now and there was really no way to contain it. Folks may need to prepare for some work from the house.
Is God killing off the Boomers in time for 2020 elections here?
The earth is. She's fighting back.
April is the absolute most optimistic date I could come up with the get a handle on this thing. This is snowballing fast.
I'm worried that my folks won't live thru this. They're older and have health issues. My wife also tends to do poorly with upper respiratory bugs. Almost always becomes bronchitis or worse.
That 2% mortality rate is inside of Wuhan. Outside of Wuhan the mortality rate, to this point is less than 1%.
I feel you. My parents are getting up in years too.
Yeah-after reading some more this is just some prep.
Federal health authorities saying they now expect a wider spread of the new coronavirus in the U.S. translates to "Yeah, there are waaaaay more cases in way more spots then we are letting you now about.

Yep. Mine are getting up there too. It has very high rates for the old, especially males. Glad I quit smoking last year.
On the flip side, having three kids, glad to see those rates are very very low.
Again, no.
In Italy, it is currently >3%.
10 deaths, 1 recovery, 322 afflicted (312 still alive)
My kid is doing a semester abroad in Europe, we're supposed to visit in April....this could really **** that up
But we don't need to worry because it'll be warm in April.
This has very little to do with open borders unless you're proposing that all customs locations in and out of every country stops and everyone stays home.....2-3 months ago.
