All things CoronaVirus

[Peter Brown]

Florida leading the nation on the day in both new infections and deaths once again (both absolute number and per capita). Yesterday's report of over 10K dead included ~130 non-residents who died in Florida. Today, Florida goes over 10K dead, only counting Florida residents.

The science doesn't support your broader message hysteria.

Florida: state hit another two month low in percent of cases positive at 6.78%.

… the dead don't lie!

Mary Magdalene wants a word with you.

Meh. Fear porn. Every "Internet MD" i've seen sez it's just like a cold.

For a 99.6% recovery rate (and trending higher!), it sure does seem mildly hysterical rather than factually sober.

But what do I know!

Where is the 0.4% rate published?

Where is the 0.4% rate published?

covid fatality rate from the CDC:

0-49 years old: .05% (99.95% recover)
50-64 years old: .2% (99.8% recover)
65+ years old: 1.3% (98.7% recover)
Overall ages: .4% (99.6% recover)

https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/healt ... 3459f0082b

Using the current numbers, that means more than 30 million people could have been infected, which would make the infection fatality rate 0.4% -- meaning 99.6% of people survive the virus.

The Gasparilla Island Bridge troll sees the 10,000 dead as just a bump in the road. It may be a big bump, but a bump nevertheless.

Everybody dies eventually anyway, right?

[CU88]

Sometimes I randomly remember 4 people died in Benghazi and the GOP had hearings upon hearings FOR YEARS.

How many hearings do you have for 171,000 dead and counting?

Did you post messages of empathy on these boards the last flu season in SC when 300 people died? Just curious about the consistency of your moral outrage.

Please direct us to those posts, and if so I will stand corrected on my skepticism (generally the people who scream the loudest about porn have the biggest stash in their basement...it's a truism that has never failed!).

So using The Troll’s numbers, .4% of 330M is 1,320,000 — only 1,150,000 to go. Hell, why are we screwing around, let’s line them up! Who wants to volunteer?

Again, very curious about SC's outrage consistency meter. Did you ask that the US shut down for Ebola, MERS, or SARS? They all had significantly higher fatality case rates than Covid.

ok, so that was from May. The updated version of these models is from June and they have a slightly higher composite rate at .65% Still would be greater than 99% recovery, which would be great.

Perhaps someone here who is much smarter than me can help me out. These lower bound numbers depend on large numbers of asyptomatic and undaignosed individuals. If we take the current JHU confirmed death count of roughly 174K and adjust the number of infected by the 0.4% fatality rate that would mean that the total infected population would be roughly 43.5 million individuals. About 8X reported on the JHU site. (I am suing this site for convenience purposes) This would mean that roughly 15% of the population would/will have been infected. the vast majority being asymptomatic and not diagnosed. Extrapolating to any "population" you would then expect 15% to either be infected or have been infected.

I think the number of cases is higher then reported but what I have a hard time understanding is to what extent. I only have two "populations" to compare it to. The first is someone I know very well, that works in a medical setting where the entire department was ab tested. Not a huge department but upwards of 100 individuals and other than the two known positives, 0 others were positive at the time of the test. Second is a lacrosse player with team members returning from all over the country, both mens and womens teams returned their entirety, 0 positives. Are these two populations just lucky? Both populations consist of individuals not hunkered down, my guess, one would thing there would be more positives is there are that many undiagnosed individuals around.

You’re schooling me about my level of empathy? I’m not the guy who lumps people into stereotypes so you can dismiss them wholesale.

South Carolina’s population is 4.9M. When the seasonal flu has the possibility of taking 19,600 South Carolinians then you can play your game of comparing Covid to the flu.

What a moron. Why do I waste thumb clicks responding?

I'm not 'schooling you' about your empathy...I'm not bold enough nor egotistical enough to do so. All I point out is rank liberal partisanship. For all I know you might be the most empathetic human alive.

Most Democrats however have an insecure need to blab to the world that they have 'massive amounts of empathy' among other self-serving accolades of ignorance. It's the same bs hubris that causes Democrats to claim without evidence that they're the true antipodes to racism, when it's their policies that trap black people in generations of dependency, crime, and welfare. Take no responsibility for that, though...

No, all I am doing is pointing out rank liberal hypocrisy (it's easy tbh). Any unnecessary death is one death too many. I can point out millions of unnecessary deaths for hundreds of different reasons, none justified nor good; I don't come on message boards and rail any one person here for the burden of those unnecessary deaths. Democrats today point out only Covid deaths, or George Floyd, of course, ignoring every other sad tale. We know why this is the pattern among Democrats. .

My God you’re an idiot. You really shouldn’t type. In all three of those cases we had presidential administrations (both R and D) that listened to their medical and public health experts and instituted policies that kept US deaths orders of magnitude lower than what’s happening now.

Now we have a president as dumb as you who tells us this will miraculously go away.
