Good thing this was all solved a few weeks ago and nothing to worry about, right?

But has it beat flu, car crashes, or cancer yet?

Because until it does morons won't take it seriously, and even then it's unlikely.

It's honestly expected. Even despite our population being far more spread out, there's hundreds of millions of us.

I'm going to focus on the death rate, and hope to see the doubling rate slow down to more than 3 days soon.

There's like 4-5 times as many in China. That's not a good argument.

The only way to really stop this in its tracks would be to coordinate the entire world to shut down together for about 45 days with doctors and testing everywhere.

Basically impossible

  1. This is reported cases. You think China wants the world to know what the fuck is going on? You think there are a bunch of testing going on in Libya and South Sudan?
  2. You can't ignore population. Obviously, Italy is having a way tougher time.
  3. Every place will go through spikes so it will be hard to really gauge the effect.

Not sure how true this is but I heard that Japan and some other nations are intentionally not having people tested or dragging their feet on it so they can drain the numbers to reopen the economy

Basically just a collector of official totals. The USA also has a breakdown by state which is useful.

The cases per capita are still quite a bit lower than most European countries except the UK. But still, that number is too low and it came here later.

On the bright side our deaths are below average for the virus. 1.4% and that's not including all the people who didn't get tested and got better on their own

The more tests we do, the more people are diagnosed with it. There are millions of people who probably already had it and never even knew.

Keep in mind people don't just drop dead the moment they receive results. That could change in a few days or a week.

It could also do with the ability for the health Care system to (at this point) meet the demand for ventilators. That was a big part in the deaths in Italy was shortage of ventilators. May also be the demographics which are contracting it.

Quite interesting to analyze all the facets of the outbreak. Once this is more in our rearview I'd like to see the more in depth info on it we just don't have yet.

On the flipside in a more optimistic outlook - while it is true you don't die immediately upon being confirmed to be Covid-19 positive, our confirmed cases is skyrocketing, and has been for almost the past week, yet our death rate has remained relatively the same.

Compare that to Italy, which has had a dramatic increase in both cases and deaths. So it does seem to imply that the demograph, or something else in the USA, is making it so most people who get the disease don't die, or show mild to moderate cases that can be self-treated at home.

It's why it would be super nice and helpful if the WHO or CDC gave out actual statistics on this virus, rather than just raw "This person is confirmed" and "This person has died" numbers. There's so much gray area to the Covid-19 that we really need to know more about the cases themselves, rather than the numbers, to really get an accurate look of what things are going to look like in a month from now.
