It’s a mortality rate not an infection rate. As long as we are treating those who get sick, our numbers won’t be any different. You can’t just ignore them because they tested a ton.


It’s about tracing, quarantining, and directing resources.

They are detecting patients very early on and having them stay isolated to slow the spread to vulnerable populations.

They are identifying hot spots, people are being cooperative in those areas, and resources are being directed there.

They put every single case in a negative pressure room early on, even asymptomatic.

Compare that with us unable to test and having infected Dad’s go to high school dances.

You be the judge.

My point stands. It’s the same as the flu.

I’m just horrible at numbers. Not like I have a math and physics degree.

Here's the CDC's website for this year's flu.

Why don't you go practice calculating percentages and tell us which number is bigger.

Several hospitals have suspended any work related travel and put in place quarantine procedures for anyone who flies. They can’t outright ban employees from traveling.
