This is the number that matters the most. You can’t compare places that haven’t tested as much as us in any other way.

Even that's a flawed number.
Here's another bullshite case from Georgia where a lady died of ketoacidosis but is being counted in CV total. They are calling her ketoacidosis an 'underlying condition' which is like calling a heart attack an 'underlying condition".

The problem with this is that there is a wide inconsistency in how serious cases are reported. For the longest time, the US didn't report any serious cases.
Another issue with it is that the number of serious cases fluctuates up and down depending on the number of active cases. Someone who is classed serious today could be recovered or dead 2 days later, both causing the number of serious cases to decline.

I think the death numbers matter the most. Testing don't mean dick other than you got it or you don't and with practically all diagnosis saying if you have it, you have to wait to a certain threshold of severe symptoms before being admitted for your ailment. So, what does testing actually do for you? If you get to feeling sicker than a dog you're going to go to the doctor/hospital anyway.

I wish the numbers weren't being juiced. Another bad thing is deaths follow cases by about a 2 week lag, so if you wait on death curve to flatten, you are waiting too long.

If someone with diabetes got the flu and died from ketoacidosis, it would be fair to say that they died from complications of the flu.

it gives us more data is all.
and more data is actually a good thing.
right now we don’t know accurate recovery/hospitalization/death rates because we don’t know an accurate total number.
is the death rate 3% or 0.3%?
we have no clue right now.

It is concerning that the Mortality rate keeps increasing. 16 days ago it was 1.25%, now it's at 3.21% and climbing.

When there are no new cases and 20 die, the computation will be 2000% ?
