firmly think the numbers in Louisiana simply look bad because of Mardi Gras. Most of the cases stem from that time frame but also calls into questions the actual incubation period of this thing because that was over a month ago.
Also many cities were shutting down and here's Bourbon Street national news packed elbow to elbow gearing up for St. Patty's Day.

I can definitely understand preventive measures being taken against a disease with a mortality rate as high as 20% compared to the COVID-19, whose mortality rate is hovering just over 1% here in the United States.

Thanks for proving my point.
Americans can, but won't do without their STUFF. Even if that means spreading a virus that humans have ZERO defenses for.

It’s only around 1% when everyone can get health care.
Look at early Wuhan or Italy. Hospitals overwhelmed - cfr much higher than 1 %

I highly doubt the cfr is much higher than 1% in either China or Italy. There are likely hundreds of thousands of Italians who have the virus and are asymptomatic. For whatever reason, the virus only manifests symptoms in roughly half of those it infects. And even that's being generous.
When you account for all of the people in China and Italy who are running around with this virus that will never display symptoms, the true cfr is probably below 1%.

Which part? The part that Americans can't do without their stuff, which has been proven time and time again on this board alone.
Or is it the part about the novel virus?
Use your words, Ricky Bobby.

If we have ZERO defenses for this virus, everyone who contracted it would be dead.
Fact is 99% of people's immune systems fight it off, and about 80% of those do it without major symptoms.

The Diamond Princess
quote:
the ship became a natural data lab where nearly everyone was tested and few cases of infection were missed.
quote:
That 0.5 percent is far less than the 3.4 percent of confirmed cases that end in death cited by the World Health Organization, but troubling nonetheless. The WHO’s number has come under fire because the true number of people infected with the virus worldwide is not known.
quote:
As of February 20, tests of most of the 3,711 people aboard the Diamond Princess confirmed that 634, or 17 percent, had the virus; 328 of them did not have symptoms at the time of diagnosis. Of those with symptoms, the fatality ratio was 1.9 percent, Russell and colleagues calculate. Of all infected, that ratio was 0.91 percent. Those 70 and older were most vulnerable, with an overall fatality ratio of about 7.3 percent.
Extrapolating those numbers to China, the team estimates that 1.1 percent of symptomatic cases there turned deadly. Considering asymptomatic cases drops that ratio to about 0.5 percent in China, the team calculates.
Keep in mind, the "population" of the Diamond Princess was in no way representative of the population of Earth.
The cruise ship was full of people in the statistically vulnerable age groups which skews this less than alarming data to be even less alarming.
We now return to the societal pants shitting already in progress.

News showing 15328 global deaths
350536 confirmed cases globally that’s a hell of allot higher death rate than 1%.

Are you under the impression that every single case of the virus has been confirmed?

Is more likely much lower than 1%. There are thousands of people around the world who were infected and had symptoms so minor they never were tested and never sought after medical care.
All you hear on the news is about severe cases or healthy people saying they were short of breath. They leave out all of the ones who associated Coronavirus with a common cold based on their experience.
Media brainwashing 101.

No I don’t assume that but of those confirmed the death rate can’t be ignored. Easily 10x deadlier than the common flu.

Anybody else notice the reporting on the Johns Hopkins does now not have the last tab on the charts?
Why is that? It gave a good summary of new cases per day as well as recoveries per day.
Not useful information as we hopefully begin to trend down?

You don't assume that everyone has been tested, but you have no problem assuming that this virus is "Easily" 10x deadlier than the common flu?
That's pretty ignorant.

Flu deaths in the US this year= 19,000
Coronavirus deaths in the US this year= 400
Not even close.
FLU>>>>>>>Coronavirus

We shall see... let’s have 100 million people contract this before jumping to those conclusions.
