I hate to think what this graph will look like 2-4 weeks from now...especially if the second outbreak in China with a mutated, worse version is indicative.

FYI, that we have the most cases because of " stellar testing" is another lie.

We are 13th in the world in testing per capita.

That death rates would go down is expected since the public seeks treatment sooner and can get tested sooner. At least, until we are overwhelmed with cases again.

11967 infected = 0.004% of State Population.
570 dead = 0.047% of Infected Population
570 dead = 0.0002% of State Population.
We are getting closer to the apocalypse day by day.

Crawl back into your paper bag @11:56 AM. You'll be safer there, at least until the anarchy breaks out. Sure hope you made a point of purchasing ammunition.

It ain't going away.@

Let's hope the high rollers aren't in the current 51% not in nursing homes of the .02 deaths in that percentage.

33% of the casino market is over age 65 and 23% is age 50-64.

Killing your best customers is not a great long term strategy. But, carry on...

Eat a dick Kingfish, you fat CCP censoring fuck.

12:11 - 4.7% of the infected have died. not 0.047%. big difference. Thats a huge mortality rate. We're 8 weeks in and this isn't going anywhere.

Attn 12:24. You are a real class act!!!

I'm not approving two comments. One is about state data and is dead wrong, as I will show probably tomorrow, if not tonight, and the other cites the US as leading deaths and cases of the virus. Not approving any comment that says so for one simple reason: China. It's a known fact that China lied. Comments that repeat Red propaganda will not be approved.

570 dead out of 11967. 570/11967=0.047%. Show your math please.

@12:59
we don't know the total number of infected.

@KF
if we had an upvote button, I'd give your comment a click.

IMINT showed heat signatures from the crematories near Wuhan at the height of the breakout, and close to 20,000,000 cell phone users (which is required in China) that simply disappeared. There is no way the numbers from China are even close to accurate, even by a factor of 50.

Hide @12:59 it's the apocalypse.

Rut roh; https://www.foxnews.com/health/cdc-now-says-coronavirus-does-not-spread-easily-via-contaminated-surfaces

Sure one or two of our local Virologist will call BS on the CDC.

We have enough cases, who cares who has the most.

"Eat a dick Kingfish, you fat CCP censoring fuck."

Ah, Jackson Jambalaya.

Come for the news, stay for the poetry ;-)

570 dead out of 11967. 570/11967=0.047=4.7%

Basic math skills bruh.

and no, we do not know the total number of infected. nor do we know how many of the currently known infected will survive. the point is this virus is far more contagious and lethal than the flu. its a terrible comparison.

@2:56
The regular flu is the exact comparison. Also another type of coronavirus. Estimates of the regular flu from the CDC put the number of deaths at 23,000 (2015-16) to 61,000 (2017-18).

if you trust the current reports of wuflu at 92,000, it makes for a valid comparison.

@2:56p- Realistically, the number of infected is WAY higher (mild to no symptom cases that were never tested), therefore, the TRUE percentage is much, much lower than 4.7%. (This doesn't even account for inaccurate death declarations.) If I were you, I'd hold off on comparisons to the flu until it all comes out in the wash.

Any comparison to historical data shows that NYC is the ONLY area truly affected by this outbreak where deaths are concerned. Most everywhere else is essentially experiencing normal death rates.

@12:11, which of this state’s fine schools can take credit for your knowledge of basic math?

Have to agree that this is not the end times and that we will do ok. Those that die will die of this or something else. Cannot run from death nor put it off. Cannot be dealt or bargained with. All need to take a deep breath and relax. Yes, I have lost loved ones. Not to Covid but to other malady's, accidents and even murder. No fun, but we all press on. Take care all.

@3:12 The influenza virus is not a coronavirus. Comparisons between the two are totally misleading. While we don't know the exact mortality rate yet, the best estimates are 0.5%-0.75% which is several times higher than even a bad flu strain. That is compounded by the complete lack of any immunity to the coronavirus. The flu infects an estimated 30 million people and you have a vaccine that prevents or minimizes the effects of getting it. COVID would be expected to infect over 150 million people in a year without mitigation.

The end result is an uncontrolled COVID epidemic would kill a million American citizens over the course of a year. Despite the extreme measures we have taken so far we are already 10% there in two months. Look for deaths to approach 250,000 by the end of December.

Some of you need to google "the paradox of preparation" and enlighten yourselves. Because obviously it has never occurred to you that part of the reason the virus did not spread to more people is precisely because we implemented social distancing and stayed at home. That may be too logical for some of the smaller brains to comprehend.

Wednesday Numbers. 413k Tests. 22k Positive.

1:57
Your 0.047 is the decimal form. To convert to % you must multiply by 100%. My kids learned this in 3rd to 5th grade.

The following might help:

@2:11 Not going to call BS on the CDC, but what that article does state is the primary method of transmission is person-to-person which makes it even more important that everyone take precautions when out in the public. Maintain 6 feet of distance, don't stop and chat with other people in stores, and for goodness sake wear a mask to reduce the range where an infected person can pass the virus on to an innocent victim.

Ordered takeout from the new restaurant in town, really good food, gave em 20% like I always do, just wished I could have gotten an adult take out drink. I am supporting em any I can. But this shit is not over, I am staying in.

I stand corrected on my numbers. Failed to complete the equation. I appreciate the help and will not forget the help from the many understanding experts I received on this blog. Bless you all, just wish I was perfect as you all are. I will endeavor to be so in the future.

@4:12p- The irony of your own misunderstanding is blinding. There were not many people who actually “LOCKED” down. Many continued to work, more continued to occupy stores, people continued to visit, etc. Given that people are still testing positive, the virus didn’t “stop spreading.”

Now we will ALL earn the prize of greater risk with lowered immunities. I’m grateful doctors continue to speak up, including the hundreds who sent a letter to the President today.

People must stop saying social distancing worked. It appears to work because this thing is a minor thing that is not something to worry about.

China probably did lie but do their official numbers match closely to the ones we view as fact? It seems almost no one here is affected.

@8:01 Almost 100,000 American citizens who have already died dispute your "minor thing" statement. We're off the peak caused by the massive outbreaks in New York and New Orleans, but it isn't slowing down any more. We'll be at a quarter million or more dead by the end of the year. Social distancing worked despite a few selfish individuals best attempts to keep the spread going as fast as possible. You don't see situations like New York City and New Orleans now simply because the mitigation efforts did some good.

@11:56 We are reporting total cases- not cases per capita. Therefore, being 13th in testing per capita is irrelevant. How many TOTAL tests (absolute total number) have we conducted versus countries 1 through 12 in per capita testing.

@4:12 Prove social distancing was effective. Let's see your study with the control arm.

@711 he didn't say the virus STOPPED SPREADING, he said it didn't spread to more people. And NO ONE is going to do a study to confirm social distancing worked. That's a stupid rebuttal.

The doctors who wrote to the president are ass clowns who were recruited to do so. The majority of doctors were in support of social distancing and locking things down for a bit, especially the infectious disease docs and epidemiologist.

100s of doctors, it was 27 doctors recruited by his campaign.
Not one is an expert on airborne infection.

@4:51 - I'm with you. We are ordering take-out food at least once a week, grocery shopping every other week, wearing our masks, and social distancing. We also are ignoring the political crap from Washington DC, the idiots who keep comparing C-19 to the flu, common colds, etc., who deny that social distancing has slowed down the rate of infection, and who are obsessed with disputing the mortality and morbidity rates from CDC and the state department of health.

If we all stay the course, respect others' right to be protected from us in case we are contagious, and CALM DOWN, then we will get through this with as little damage as possible.

See we're still herding sheep.

May 20 @9:00PM, will those same 100,000 dead Americans be voting democrat in the future?

Speaking of restaurants, why in hell do those who opened back up have what they're calling 'temporary menus' with most of their best items not included?

Here's an example: Georgia Blue touts their safety protocol on radio all day long but they serve no steaks and not even fried green tomatoes. If I wanted grits I could have stayed at home. Robert St. Johns' business in Hattiesburg is doing the same thing.

People are anxious to dine-in (under the new regulations) but nobody eats out in order to enjoy something off the Sysco truck.

I don't give one whit about 'The Paradox Of Preparation-H'. I'm here to learn math.

9:30 pm Yes we are reporting total cases. Per capita cases are counted in every country using the same per capita to account for population differences. This is not hard. It's one more math step.

And, I'm not 4:12 but again it's the comparative statistics in affected countries. I would point to us, Brazil and Sweden as countries where social distancing was ignored. In this country, you have to look State by State and county by county but that's true in other countries as well.

So divide 1,581,903 cases of confirmed coronavirus into our current population of 332,865,306. So that's 1 of every 210 Americans. That's pretty close to 5% of us. Now, when you consider that's out of only 3.6 million total tests as of last Friday. Contrast that with the test rate in other countries ,and note their populations.

Now, as to your other misunderstanding of facts:

New Zealand is your proof that rigidly following all the protocols for epidemics works. That's less mentally challenging for you that doing all the math for other countries who sheltered with far better cooperation of their citizens. But, the results are the same. The thing is, you have to have a population smart enough to do it and/or leaders who understand why it works and explain it .

I've been reading Michael Yon since beginning of the year when he sounded the alarm on this bug. He's been right more often than not on this subject.
