Here's Video Of Trump Trying To Explain Why He Cut The Pandemic Response TeamTrump blame assignment FailUnknown unknowns! Our arrogance in refusing to consult WHO or other countries in a timely manner places us behind.I have been trying to understand a factual correlation between Coronavirus exposure, test results, cases, serious illness, hospitalization, ICU placement and death. The news reports seem to be lacking in this area, and I am wondering why.
It seems that, outside of China, the number Coronavirus cases reported were the result of people who were already seriously ill from the virus and required medical attention. As a result, the number of deaths reported was a significant percentage of these cases. With increasingly widespread testing for the virus, the number of "cases" is skyrocketing, yet the recommendation for the great majority of these cases is to stay home and not seek medical treatment unless seriously ill.
So my questions are:
1. Does testing positive for the virus constitute a new case, or merely exposure?
2. What percentage of those testing positive require medical treatment?
3. What percentage require hospitalization?
4. What percentage die?
5. If we tested for other forms of flu virus, would we see similar statistics?
Don't look for answers from Trump's daily chest-pounding self glorifications. First it was hoax! Some idiots still cling to this, and it is my dearest wish they all put on their best bib & tucker and head out to the local Pub to suck up all that party atmosphere while thumbing their noses at the skeptical.
He's the 'gonna' President, as in "It's 'gonna' go away! and "It's 'gonna' be contained! or "Test Kits are 'gonna' be available to everyone! Yep! Any day now! Just like the Wall was 'gonna' be paid by Mexico, NK was 'gonna' de-nuke, China was 'gonna' fall in line, and the biggest scam of all...that a tax-cut for large corporations and Wall Street was 'gonna' trickle down. Now the CW is that if we throw money at citizens to spend the market will heal and that will minimize (somehow ?) the disease.
I don't know what will happen. We got blindsided by the fickle finger of fate, and nobody knows....but Thank God for Governors who step up to the plate..like the once-giant Rudy did on 911!
