That growth rate of cases over 50 days is putrid
Data analysis is only as good as data itself. Garbage in, garbage out.
If they arent/werent testing it is hard to get a good count.

Why is this always a comparison to flu with some of you? This is a separate thing and has to be treated like it.
This is something that is new and doesn’t have data like seasonal flu has.. literally going off the confirmed data. That projection of 100 million world wide isn’t anything compared to what has been said about America catching a 70% infection rate of our population. Do the math on 1% of 200 million Americans and you’ll get the point. Don’t get so bent out of shape, it’s just a conversation thread based of what’s being put out there.

Agree... I think the fallout will damage then Perry’s badly.

The CDC is so stringent with their testing protocol they have yet to listen to the people, patient advocates and physicians on the ground of patients with particular disorders to allow exceptions to their criteria.
For example, those patients with primary immune deficiencies rarely exhibit fevers when they contract any infection (viral or bacterial). It’s paradoxical but it is typical in this high risk patient population. You can imagine a person with a deficient immune system that would never meet the COVID-19 testing criteria established by the CDC are basically completely screwed if they contract this disease. Immunologists and advocacy groups everywhere are trying to educate the CDC but they aren’t budging.
Hopefully they relax these protocols very soon for a variety of at risk patient populations.

Straight from the CDC if nothing is found to treat or slow down.

It won’t spread in first world countries
Nobody claimed that... quit making shite up
The statements were it wouldn’t impact 1st world countries like it did in China. In some ways that is correct and others it is not. And those statements were also made off of what was coming out, e.g. the video of the 3 kids being put in a body bag... which ended up being false.

You act like this is the most contagious novel virus ever and trying to say that it gets to 70% of Americans. The Spanish fricking flu didn’t get to half of that. Just 27%. My god man chill out.

How has no one in BR tested positive for this virus? Lack of testing or people don’t have it? What happened to the student instructor and professor that everyone was saying had the virus?

Lmao you’re such a Hardo bro. I’m going off published data from models. They are predicting 160 to 210 million people could become infected in 1 year if it isn’t slowed down at 1%. These are the experts in the field, you’re so emotional and dramatic.

Someone earlier said very little to no testing in br
Posted on 3/14/20 at 10:32 am to GeauxTime9
People have it everywhere. But it’s so mild and cold-like for them that they don’t get tested.
Posted on 3/14/20 at 10:33 am to ell_13
The Spanish flu was much less contagious than this thing. Deadlier yes but less contagious

It's definitely damaging their economy, but with their control over so much of the supply chain, they are probably in the best position to rebound as the rest of the world is going to need a lot of what they produce.
China has already made veiled threats of withholding critical supplies from us.
Short term play that will lead to a long term disaster. FDA going to clamp down on foreign drug manufacturing plus tariffs had companies looking for a way out. This will only speed up the process. It’s not going to happen over night but I bet you see a major shift away from China over the next 5-10 years.

And you just combined and total infections number and a death rate as if they are related in terms of keeping it in check.

I’ve heard every excuse in the book in this thread
First it was the Chinese smoke a lot
Then it was that they have higher ACE2 levels
Then it wouldn’t get out of China
It won’t spread in first world countries
1st world countries can handle the overflow
The CFR wont be that high in first world countries
Etc
No one claimed it wouldn't spread
1st world countries are handling it well thus far with the exception of Italy.
If there is a country that can handle overflow the best it is the US
The CFR is going to drop substantially. See South Korea. And no, South Korea did not weld people shut in their houses.
