We have been doubling every 2 days
If we drop to doubling every 3 days that would be a good sign
It is a pretty significant difference

Is that a good thing? Yes. But people grasp on to that number don't understand that the health care system is only designed to accommodate an extremely small percentage of the population. And that people are still getting sick/injured independent of this virus. The capacity of hospitals is the most important stat out of all of these numbers.

If they don’t have co vid and not the flu, do we really have that many people running around at this time of year with sore throats, diarrhea, fever, chills, headaches and whatever other symptom is associated with CV? If it’s not CV, what do all of these people have?
Yes. There are plenty of people who have sore throats, cough, stomach bugs, the remnants of flu seasons, colds, allergies in late winter/early spring. PLENTY.
Factor in the anxious people who start to feel progressively more “sick” every time they clear their throat.

True. But even excluding those parameters, the average age of the dying is extremely elderly. At least where we are currently.
This site is weird, but I guess is a reflection on society in general. Many people choose to ignore any positive news and just dig in further.

No dick butt in today’s update.

If Louisiana is 36% obese then you would expect at least 36% of the deaths to be obese. Considering it is a crossection.

That's an odd sort of 'positive' take. The elderly and those with preexisting conditions are still people. And, yes, people die everyday. How it impacts the non-elderly/infirm is being overlooked. They still take up hospital beds and ventilators.
Who the virus is killing is a red herring to the real problem of hospital capacity. A closely related concern is the health of the health care professionals themselves. Exposure to large amounts of sick people without the proper protective equipment puts them at risk. And its not easy to replace doctors and nurses on the fly.

The high death rates in other countries is what's horrible. I don't get the discrepancy,ours are lower.
Many of the people here who test positive , end up under a ventilator. Some get better. But some take days to die. This virus takes weeks sometimes to leave a person. Sometimes longer. Many under ventilators now will not make it. The mortality rate will increase when this time comes.

We are peaking right now and over the next few days in real time. By next weekend the numbers will start showing that.
Posted on 3/28/20 at 12:30 pm to fightin tigers
Avg age of death through yesterday is 69.8
Still only 5% of deaths with no underlying condition

How the hell can you say we are peaking? Clearly this thing is still ramping up.

The most important numbers to track in real-time are the number of hospitalizations and people on ventilators. When those get too high, unless more resources are secured, there is the potential for a significant increase in deaths.
Excellent point

Didn't we have 65 just Thursday???

For those of you saying, hey only 4 or 5 percent deaths, what about the number of those who have to get on a ventilator? That is no picnic. What are those numbers versus the overall percentage? Because honestly the threat of that alone is enough to scare me.
ETA - Based on the numbers today, almost right at 10 percent of all covid diagnoses are put on a vent. 36 percent of those hospitalized are on a vent.
