What death rate would peak your elation?

Since 50-75% of cases show no symptoms, this is not true
and since the tests aren't 100% reliable you have to do them over and over again just to be sure.
helps to jack up the numbers with false positives too
never have heard the false positive rate but by all means ignore it so not only everybody who gets one is fricked for awhile but also everyone they are known to have come into contact with

Or it’s already peaked and we didn’t even know it.

My back-of-the-napkin guess is that we're about 2-3 days from peak. I'm using South Korea as a comparable...

But keep the panic going pleas
this isn't a post about panic
since we can't easily determine who has the virus without testing, removing asymptomatic people from the sample (when they are very likely the majority of cases) makes testing, as as scientific endeavor at this point, somewhat pointless
the only thing testing can do is help hospitals isolate critical cases (due to the contagiousness of the virus, to help spread)

quote:first, that question is complex but in general, viruses can live on surfaces. If the temp is low enough, such as when this thing started circulating, a high traffic tourist area is going to be more susceptible. But that doesn't mean the virus is more fatal. Also, what do you mean by hotspot?
If heat kills it why is New Orleans a hot spot for it with temps around 80 degrees

Today was the 2nd highest growth rate since the US started tracking these things

What miraculous development do you expect to happen in the next 7-10 days

It's a rare day when China praises Japan, so maybe it's true.

Thanks for taking the time to respond to him. I thought about it, but decided his post was so nonsensical that it wasn’t worth the time.

Heat and humidity should happen in early April. This should cause a significant reduction in the spreading of the virus and flu, just like every year.
The transmission is microscopic. Humidity and pollen can act as barriers which could cause these microscopic virus to get blocked (like an invisible barrier) and the heat cases them to go to the ground. This becomes a natural barrier to the transmission of the disease.
Still need to wash hands and find a vaccine (to be prepared for next season).
As we go from winter to summer, the Southern Hemisphere will go from summer to winter, and this could ramp up on that part of the planet in a few months.
Closing travel from highly infected countries will save many lives.
We shall see.

We had the virus BEFORE Italy yet they have 25X the deaths and 1/5 of the population and a much higher hospalization rate.
Their cases are also slowing down.Who's to say we won't peak soon?
