Not necessarily. It also means that currently undetected cases could later be detected and result in death.
HHS clinics provide medical supplies on a sliding scale basis. There was no need for him to die because of the price of insulin.
Unfortunately you’ve glossed over a great many holes in our patchwork system.
For example:
Insulin's High Cost Leads To Lethal Rationing
Alec Raeshawn Smith was 23 when diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and 26 when he died. He couldn't afford $1,300 per month for his insulin and other diabetes supplies, so he tried to stretch the doses.www.npr.org
It's not likely that someone is going to be deathly ill and not call the doctor, dumbass.
Actually, 60+ days of data, and ten more days of data than we have on Italy.
What post was that? I want to use that to harangue him until the end of time.Pogo told me the US mortality rate was over 62%.Total deaths/Total cases = 1.35% mortality rate in the US.

I am having a galactic moment.
This is what I was thinking of:I have no idea what you have been reading or who you consider an expert but no one at the CDC or WHO has made such a prediction. You say you are paying attention to what the experts say, but none of them have said that.Did you read Lucy's posts in this thread? I have read SO much today and in the past few days that I can't remember where I read it, but if our new cases keep piling up the way they have been going, we will soon surpass China and yes, Italy. That's what they're saying. It might not be mortality rates--they never mention in what way we're going to surpass China. Just that we will.I do listen to the experts, but clearly you don't since none of them have predicted the US experience will be the worst in the world as you insist.Dr. Love has clearly said the US experience will be as bad as Italy's, which is the worst in the world, without any basis in fact for that believe or hope, so I don't know why you would doubt he is wishing the worst for America for political reasons.Of course I don't wish us to surpass Italy in this pandemic. I doubt if Dr. Love does either, but you'll think what you want.I don't know which experts you are talking about, but what I have heard is that the crisis will get worse before it gets better but not that it will be the worst in the world, which is what Dr. Love is predicting. There is no rational basis for saying it will be like Italy's rather than like Germany's, which is much better, unless you are expressing a wish for the crisis to be that bad because you believe it will be bad for Trump, as Dr. Love clearly does.Dr. Love didn't make it up. It's what some experts are saying. I know we can't predict the future, but they've been pretty onpoint so far.All true and that's why President Trump's early decision to ban travel from places with high infection rates was so important in saving us from the horror show the EU is now experiencing. The EU still has not banned travel from places with high infection rates, and although some member states have, since they have open borders with other member states, infected people can land elsewhere in the EU and travel to Rome an kill Italians.In 2005, the latest statistic I could find, we have over 1 BILLION Tourists a year in the USAThis is just you hoping for the worst for America. We are not a month behind Italy. Italy is still behind us. Because the EU never closed its borders between member states, and because Italy is a prime tourist location, its population infected people continued to enter Italy even as the crisis grew to an unsupportable size. To make matters worse, Italy has a much older population than the US, so it mortality rate is naturally much higher.Things are moving so fast, it's now up to 1.37% of confirmed cases, but to put things in perspective, it is among the lowest rates among developed countries of any size.Total deaths/Total cases = 1.35% mortality rate in the US.

No, you don't ... Never mind
If you look at the statistics for EU countries, those with a high rate of tourism have a high rate of infection and those with a lower rate of tourism have a lower rate of infection. President Trump's early action to cut off travel from countries with high infection rates is the reason we have a so much lower mortality rate than most other developed countries of any size.
So our tourism from other nations is HUGE
Tourism in the United States - Wikipedia
en.m.wikipedia.org
In the U.S., tourism is among the three largest employers in 29 states, employing 7.3 million in 2004, to take care of 1.19 billion trips tourists took in the U.S. in 2005.[citation needed] As of 2007, there are 2,462 registered National Historic Landmarks (NHL) recognized by the United States government. As of 2018, New York City is the most visited destination in the United States, followed by Los Angeles, Orlando, Las Vegas, and Chicago.
Tourists spend more money in the United States than any other country, while attracting the second-highest number of tourists after France and Spain.[2][3] The discrepancy may be explained by longer stays in the US.[3]
Whether you are making this shit up yourself or listening to other people who are making it up, there is no basis in fact for believing the US will experience what italy is experiencing. No other nation on Earth is experiencing what Italy is experiencing, so why would you think the US will experience what is happening in Italy instead of what is happening in Germany, which is doing much better than Italy, unless you are expressing you hope for the US to go through all the same suffering and death Italy is going through because you think it will be bad for President Trump. You may technically be an American, but you are clearly no one's fellow American.You hope we will become Italy, but there is no basis in fact to support your hope for this.The Intercept?Italy diagnosed their first case they same day we did.Things are moving so fast, it's now up to 1.37% of confirmed cases, but to put things in perspective, it is among the lowest rates among developed countries of any size.Total deaths/Total cases = 1.35% mortality rate in the US.

On the same day, Margaret Harris, a spokesperson for the World Health Organization said that the United States has the potential to be the next epicenter of the coronavirus, citing the dramatic increase in cases. The number of cases in the United States has surged from 7,800 cases a week ago to 53,268 cases today.
Is the United States the Coronavirus Pandemic’s New Epicenter?
As the World Health Organization says the U.S. has the potential to become pandemic epicenter, Trump touts opening up the country by Easter.foreignpolicy.com
WHO spokesperson Margaret Harris told reporters Tuesday morning that 85 percent of the previous day’s new confirmed cases of Covid-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, were in the United States or Europe. And 40 percent of those cases were reported in the US.
Even as President Donald Trump has begun publicly considering relaxing social distancing guidelines and restarting the economy, Harris warned that the “very large acceleration” in new cases could make the United States the new epicenter for the global pandemic.
The US “has a very large outbreak and an outbreak that is increasing in intensity,” she said, according to a Reuters report.
The virus was first reported in the US on January 20, and it took until March 17 to report the first 100 deaths. But that number has skyrocketed over the past week, and US states reported more than 100 Covid-19-related deaths on Monday alone, marking the first time the death count reached 100 in a single day in the US.
WHO says a third of the newest coronavirus cases worldwide are in the US
Yesterday, Tuesday, there were over 200.
Maybe I was wrong to say we would surpass Italy; if so, I apologize. What I was thinking of was that WHO is predicting we will be the next epicenter. Could we surpass Italy at this rate? We have a lot more people, so I was thinking yes we could.
Fact. He did not call it a hoax.
He sure did. On one side, you have the Trump cultists. On the other, literally everyone else. And the video. Gee, who to believe....
That’s good to know, because most cases are unreported. Here in Virginia you call the hospital and unless you’re gasping for air they just say stay home for 2 weeks. Untested, thus unreported.Total deaths/Total cases = 1.35% mortality rate in the US.

By definition, to die from the disease, you have to be "deathly ill." Is it possible that someone who seems perfectly healthy will die from the Wuhan flu? I don't see how that's possible. They may appear healthy now, but a few days before they day, they are going to be obviously ill.
False. You literally just made that up. For example, in New York, all testing is free for those directed by their health provider, which includes asymptomatic people at higher risk from the disease.
Birx mentioned that today, how making such predictions without all considerations was not going to be accurate.WHO didn't predict we would become the next epicenter, she said it was possible based on a couple of days' data. The US has 5 1/2 times as many people as Italy, so it is meaningless to compare raw numbers without adjusting them for the differences in population. We are on the upside of the curve now and no ne knows where the peak is so no one can make sensible predictions on the basis of a few days' data. If we believe the experts at CDC, the higher our infection rate goes, the closer we are to the peak and the slide down to normal.This is what I was thinking of:I have no idea what you have been reading or who you consider an expert but no one at the CDC or WHO has made such a prediction.
