Lads,
Can we have a thread that doesn't mention one side or the other... Please keep the finger point out of it...
This is how big is the hole and how bad will it get.
First lets look at US Numbers right now.
Lets to Europe Numbers .
What can we take...
Europe at 50,000 cases was growing slower (18%) than US is today (mainly in the 30%) (that latest number don't seem to be that clear.).
US are ten days behind Europe on these numbers.
Testing
This just shows how bad New York have it ...
Comapre this to the smart countries in this
Norway, Singapora, South Korea,.....
Spain has it pretty bad but can see they are loading on major testing and have 7000 (0.7% of pop) per million...
Lets look at South Korea:
South Korea is democracy and they are probably showing the best way to handle it. They where caught early on but within two weeks they got it down to single digit growth.
So looking at South Korea
Viewing Korea's COVID-19 in Germany
How to cut asymptomatic virus spread.
ZDF, a major public broadcaster in Germany, assessed that Korea's COVID-19 management, conducting massive inspections daily, is the fastest but hardest way to transparently disclose the confirmed COVID-19 cases.[205] It was now emphasized that it would be necessary to conduct an aggressive test similar to South Korea for COVID-19. Public German broadcaster ARD praised the efficiency of the testing methods developed by South Korea, such as the drive-through COVID-19 screening.[206] Since March 8, Germany has been operating drive-through inspection stations in North Rhine-Westphalia and Hesse, where the number of infected people is increasing. Drive-through inspection stations were also installed in several places in the UK two weeks ago[when?]. Germany has a medical infrastructure capable of testing 16,000 people per day.[207][208][209][210]
The low death rate in South Korea
Bloomberg L.P. analyzed the reason for the low death rate in South Korea. South Korea experienced serious difficulties during the outbreak of MERS in 2015 due to a lack of test kits. Afterwards, the country approved rapid deployment of COVID-19 test kits, and now they are able to test more than 10,000 people a day. In neighboring Japan, only about 2,700 people in total have been tested for COVID-19 as of March 3. Officials in Seoul operate "drive-thru" testing stations for quick testing. Diagnostics company Seegene Inc. is also exporting its test kits to other countries including China, Europe and the USA.[211][212]
AFP attributed the factors behind the low death rate of South Korea to the rigorous testing and the infected population profile. South Korea's widespread testing leads mild or asymptomatic cases to be identified so the proportion of dying goes down. Moreover, the infected population in the South Korea has a unique profile. Most of the country's infections are linked to the Shincheonji Church of Jesus and most of its members are young women. Statistics show that the virus is most deadly among older generations and men. So the death rate in South Korea is lower than other countries
Germany and South Korea are having fairly low death rates.
This is not a Right or Left issue, Trump or no Trump.... What is best way to go forward. This can be controlled in a democracy. What should we be doing?
