Trump doesn’t have his name on this article. Actually 2 Stanford professors do.
No, but the debate has broken out as to how deadly the virus really is. There's the pessimistic view in viral videos circulating.
Even those numbers are skewed. They only include those who have tested positive. Those who are positive but not tested aren't in there and no one is estimating that like they do with flu rates.
Now they say it very likely come back next winter. It's staying to show up in the southern hemisphere where they are heading into cold weather. The death toll may not be as bad as the flu over a year's time, we can't know that yet if it comes back next fall. How many people with the flu have to go on a ventilator? Serious question, I just don't recall hearing about it that much. We will still have to see if this virus is causing permanent damage to the lungs of those that had had it and survived.
Yep the cure is going to hurt us worse than problem. Pneumonia still killed more last year in the states.
I've seen a lot of the press conferences and none of them have been saying this until recently. Maybe Trump pushed them off them off the stage before they could get it out.
Probably will see less now that your channels have decided showing them was helping Trump.
They still have them on at least once a day. Maybe they help him because he makes people who don't want to believe this a bad thing that it really isn't and we'll be back to normal in no time.
Yeah looks like that could be the deal with this thang too. It's just getting stared in the southern hemisphere so we'll se how they handle it and how travel from that area goes.
The hope is by the time it is the next go around that a good portion of the population is recovered. D immune reducing the rate of spread.
We have to get over this round first, hopefully that is before the next round comes along.
Italy’s numbers are skewed, though. Covid-19 is listed as the cause of death even if a patient was already ill and died from a combination of illnesses. Only about 12% of their deaths have shown direct causality from coronavirus.
It's not starting to show in the Southern Hemisphere and warm places; it's there and has been there. Look at Brazil, Australia, Malaysia, Philippines, etc. The idea that this is a cold weather bug seemed like more of a guess than an actual conclusion supported by data.
That's still a death from the coronavirus. I don't get your point at all. If someone is sick and immunocompromised and they die from a communicable disease that we could have prevented, we should include that in the total. If someone who is 64 with COPD dies of Coronavirus, that's a COVID death.
If someone gets shot in the head and dies but also had coronavirus, what do you think their cause of death was?
the cause of death is ballistic trauma if you're shot in the head, even if you have cancer. The secondary issues only matter if they affect prognosis.
Technically what they had said is that it could affect spread and it could be seasonal, but that we don’t have definitive evidence that it will work out this way. This includes the doctor.
Coronavirus tests on the 25th in the US: 76k
Considering deaths lag, no, ramping up testing over a 7 day period resulting in the same % of positive test results isn't telling you anything like that yet.
If you're testing a population that was less likely to have been exposed, you should have seen a decline in the rate of cases that were positive. They weren't saving tests for old people who might die. They were constraining them to people who had specifically traveled to other places with known outbreaks or for people who were already sick in the hospital. Literally, they were picking the people that they thought have the disease and testing only them.
It is interesting that Seattle and SF never had what NYC has. Very, very interesting. It's one thing to miss a wave of tests/cases, which we probably did in some places. but the public health authorities could not miss if the ERs and hospitals were as jammed as they are in NYC right now.
