Can’t wait until we model our medical system after theirs.

Everyone is gonna die everywhere don’t worry man, it’s the Black Plague. Think the hokey pokey but way more brutal, if we don’t kill our country to stop it everyone dies.

Seems pretty clear to me that that area of the world has a more fatal strand of this virus than the rest of the world

I just read where the strain in Europe is the same as the US.

I read somewhere that the real number of people with Coronavirus in Italy is 10x higher than the number of reported cases. Their mortality rate probably isn’t any higher than it is anywhere else. It’s likely there is close to a million people with Coronavirus in Italy.

Wouldn't surprise me. Just like here their initial tests were limited so they held off before widespread testing could happen.

They need another feminist march.

Where did you go to medical school?

So did the article just use the 10x assumption for Italy and not other countries?

Let's circle back on that and touch base after we see how much we're able to flatten the curve.

Yea in America we definitely have more cases than reported but probably not 10x.
Our pop density is way less, we don't practice multi generational living, we use less public transportation
Just look at the cases between New York and LA and you can see how people live and cities are set up effects the spread of the virus

Totally. Could be that their is more L-strain in Europe and more S over here in the US.

Didn’t know that medical school teaches genomics and bioinformatics.

Probably true everywhere. Iceland did mass testing and concluded that 1% of its population has it.
Posted on 3/25/20 at 7:46 am to AncientTiger
Without accounting for different sizes of populations and testing practices, comparing the raw numbers of deaths in two countries is just about meaningless.
The only thing stats like that prove is that 'Merica is bad at math.

The latest estimates using data from around the world puts the CFR at approximately 1.5%. Given that, Italy probably has in the range of 1/2 million cases (very rough back of the envelope calculations).

It may be 1.5% if you look only at confirmed cases. This ignores the huge number of asymptomatic cases and cases where symptoms are so minor that people never bother to get tested.
