Wuhan Death Rate in US Cut Nearly in Half

[RoshawnMarkwees]

February 28 said it was more than 20 times worse than flu.
Not anymore. I’m convinced that rate will continue to diminish as more are tested.
Flu kills roughly .1%.
As of yesterday, March 20, Wuhan is down to 1.3% in US. Not being reported that way. It sucks that I have to do my own investigation and reporting.
19,700 cases, 273 deaths. Do the math. The media won’t (can’t).
Also consider that the death rate is still almost exclusive to people with compromised conditions, be it age and/or wellness. Flu is not as discriminatory.

Mortality rate
A recent study estimated that the mortality rate from COVID-19 is 2.3 percent, more than 20 times the death rate from the flu.

Then...
Why it’s too early to compare COVID-19 with the flu

Now...
The US has reported 273 coronavirus deaths, and more than 19,700 cases across all 50 states. Here's what we know about the US patients.

What totally amazes me is that out of all the 200,000 cases or so NOT ONE SINGLE DEATH of a child under 9 years old! A virus that doesn't kill kids? Has that ever happened?

I don’t know. I don’t think I want to know.
As soon as one does you can expect it to be reported as proof that all children are vulnerable.

This from the CDC website:

While relatively rare, some children die from flu each year. Since 2004-2005, flu-related deaths in children reported to CDC during regular flu seasons have ranged from 37 to 187 deaths.

I like your optimistic spirit. Not 20 times more deadly, only 10 times more deadly. If we do enough mass testing, maybe we can get it down to 4 or 5 times as deadly. It won't help the dead or their families, but if it makes you feel better, more power to ya. You're probably a fairly decent person in the real world.

Is this so weird? The Flu grows exponentially but the deaths won't necessarily do that as long as the healthcare can take care of the very ill.
The deaths will ofc also lag behind the infected thanks to the exponential growth.

Oh Jesus - Do you not understand that we won't have a handle on mortality rate for minimally another month or two? Dr Fauci estimates 10 times as lethal as the flu. I believe Dr Fauci.

In the real world 1500 people dropped today from it so far.

It's been 1.3%. I ran the numbers yesterday and got 1.31%.
It's around 10% in Italy.
That's the difference between them and us. Thank God we have a President who takes care of business.

They have only lost that many because their health care system was totally incapable of dealing with the case load.

Ahhhh, the Joy's of socialized medicine.

Are you trying to say they are hiding this? All the figures are out there and the math is pretty simple. Nobody's hiding anything.

Their problems stem from underfunding, not socialism.

We are suffering from the same thing to a lessor extent.

You're right. The empty shelves are a better indication of the effects of socialism.

 

[Rocko]

The death rate is expected to go up dramatically because we’re going to get to a point where the healthcare system can’t facilitate everyone’s care and the very sickest will be the priority. When the morality rate levels off it’s expected to be around 2%. About 10x more deadly than the flu and a zillionx more contagious
