And Poof we blow through 180,000 cases.

[gibraltar72]

Numbers for today are gonna be sobering.

[Botany]

1. 5,400 deaths

180,000 x .03 (3% death rate) = 5,400

At least "they" stopped Hillary and her emails.

[NewJeffCT]

5. I know

[ProfessorGAC]

6. H1N1 Was 0.021%

Just for contrast when testing and isolation is done expeditiously.
60 million people got it; a bit over 12,000 died. In 9 months, not 3.
I know that H1N1 may have been led pernicious and more readily treatable.
But your number & mine result in, for now,a virus that is 150x more deadly!

[Botany]

12. My GUESS @ a 3% mortality rate is based on the W.H.O.'s #s and that (I might be wrong) ...

... but that we see many linked deaths from other illness, accidents, and suicides because
our medical system will be over run with C-19 cases.

We are looking @ deaths in the US @ millions.

[ProfessorGAC]

14. It's Also...

...deaths per known cases. With the stupid delay in reacting, we don't really know yet how many people are actually carrying the virus.
Even if it's 2x, rather than more, the mortality rate drops in half.
It's too soon, I suppose, to draw firm conclusions. Unfortunately, people are dying now. The better numbers later don't matter to those folks & their families.

[Botany]

15. My C-19 math .... I pray to god I am wrong.

330,000,000 (US pop) x .4 (40 to 70% infection rate) x .03 (mortality rate) = 3,960,000 U.S. dead

Florida's dumb fuck Gov. Ron DeSantis, "We have to see how the virus is acting in different communities."

[ProfessorGAC]

16. Well, It's Right

It's the 0.03 that's the unknown.
That said Italy is at 105k cases, 27k fully resolved. So 132k. 12,500 deaths. So >9%!

[Botany]

17. The only fixed figure is the US Population .... the infection rate and mortality rate aren't fixed.

God only knows what the #s will be in places like the Gaza Strip.

[Johnny2X2X]

2. Michigan is getting bad

1117 new cases in the last 24 hours and 75 deaths bring the total to 259 deaths.

[gibraltar72]

3. Yes and I don't think that's showing on the big sites yet.

Was just told my neighbors daughters boss was diagnosed a well know Christstain camp ground.

[uponit7771]

4. WTF !?!? No wonder the Kremlin KKKlan is mentioned 100s of thousands dead now. We didn't have

... to have this, we could be were S Korea is at now.

[gibraltar72]

8. He said Russia sent supplies.

I wouldn't think i'd want to use them.

[uponit7771]

10. right ... they'd be laced with Polio and Trump would call polio no worse than the common cold

[A HERETIC I AM]

7. Just wait till the numbers start coming in from India and the African countries....

which frankly, we might not hear of for a few years.

There are huge swaths of humanity, literally billions of people, who will never get tested, will get sick and will die from lack of proper medical care, of this I am convinced.

[Blecht]

9. "... a couple of days it'll be down close to zero ..."

Negligent homicide on a massive scale.

[gibraltar72]

11. Blowin right out of here.

[mcar]

13. 16,500 new cases today

and the day isn't over.
