A map over counties by lower respiratory disease mortality (2014). I would track that more closely than I would actual reported corona virus cases.

What is up with union county florida? The median age is lower at 39 than florida's more general 42.

Gallup just gave us the highest rating ever for the way we are handling the CoronaVirus situation. The April 2009-10 Swine Flu, where nearly 13,000 people died in the U.S., was poorly handled. Ask MSDNC & lightweight Washington failure @RonaldKlain, who the President was then?

Para
High reported infection rates is generally a function of high testing levels. But control that against number of deaths. 3.5% deaths of reported cases is norm.

Higher than 3.5% means lower testing levels
Lower than 3.5% means higher testing levels.

Coronavirus fears drive ammo sales spike in US, company says

On Friday, Ammo.com announced that in the 11 days from Feb. 23 -- when news of COVID-19 reached high levels of interest in the U.S. -- until March 4, the online ammunition retailer has seen a 68 percent increase in transactions and a 45 percent increase in conversation rates compared to the 11 days before Feb. 23.

"But it makes sense,” Horsman added. “A lot of our customers like to be prepared. And for many of them, it's not just facemasks and TheraFlu. It's knowing that no matter what happens, they can keep themselves and their families safe."

After the corona crisis Italy will be a reborn country full of young people:

http://www...ggest-daily-jump-idUSKBN20T2ML

Italy is currently reporting more deaths per day from the virus than any other country in the world and the government this week ordered the closure of schools, universities, cinemas and theaters around the country to try to stem the infections.

The cumulative number of cases in the country, which has been the hardest hit in Europe by the epidemic, totaled 4,636 compared with 3,858 on Thursday.

The national health institute said the average age of those who had died so far was 81, with the vast majority suffering underlying health problems. Just 28% were women.

The fatality rate from the illness in Italy, which has one of the oldest populations in the world, is running at 4.25%, higher than in most other countries.

The US Federal Reserve has begun quarantining physical dollars that it repatriates from Asia before recirculating them in the US financial system as a precautionary measure against spreading the virus, a Fed spokesperson told Reuters.

She said regional Fed banks that help manage the money supply will set aside shipments of dollars from Asia for seven to 10 days before processing and redistributing them to financial institutions. The policy, first reported by Reuters, was implemented on Feb. 21, the official said.

Dukhat

The right-wing echo chamber is all saying it's just the Flu. Hannity is nonstop about it.

It's not just the flu, it's definitely deadlier and similar to the Spanish Flu in mortality.

The biggest issue is how contagious it is and how easily it spreads because many people take a while to develop symptoms. Our hospital system is designed with capitalist efficiency in mind so it has just enough beds and staff at any one time to deal with a normal patient load.

About 15-20% of people infected have needed hospitalization to deal with symptoms, about 5% need critical care. So even small outbreaks can overwhelm a healthcare system.

That's why the best strategy is to test everyone and to quarantine everyone infected. Slow down the disease by being careful and it's manageable. Not testing for it though is a fucking disaster and will make the spread fast enough so that it can overwhelm our healthcare system.

TLDR for cuckservatives: It can infect your parents and grandparents, and also re-infect you. It has killed young people too and you can get re-infected. Wash your hands and avoid people dumbasses.

"It has killed young people too"

Mortality in the 30-40 range is .2%.

Less than that below 30, before hitting zero for under-10s.

So yeah, still not seeing a reason to institute wartime production and quarantine procedures to protect a Boomer population that everyone is waiting to die off anyway.

Thing is, modern humans are not very good at dying. @50% infection rates, total mortality for the 30-40 range would almost double with .2%.

Germany: officially 639 infected, 0 death.

The reason for zero fatality is obvious. The old people in Germany grew up in Nazi Germany which made them really really tough by order of Adolf Hitler:
http://www...eal-to-german-youth/a-16410476
At a Nazi Party rally in 1935, Hitler described his ideal of the Hitler Youth as "swift as a greyhound, as tough as leather, and as hard as Krupp's steel."

Sat Mar 07 02:49:59
The main reason is that most hospitals in Germany can now perform the test.

We can see the contures of true mortality in the German numbers. Something in the region of 0.5% for the population overall.

With that said, expect some deaths soon. Life prolonging interventions cannot keep some people alive indefinitely.

So far there is only one guy in critical condition and this is in my home town(translated):

http://www...ter-in-lebensgefahr-35248.html

Münster - For the first time in Germany a corona patient may have fallen into a life-threatening condition. The "Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland" reports that a man is lying in the intensive care unit of the University Hospital Münster. The patient had been given immunosuppressive drugs because of an upcoming organ transplantation.

These drugs are intended to prevent the body from rejecting transplanted organs, but at the same time increase sensitivity to all kinds of pathogens. In the evening, the hospital declined to comment on the report and did not want to confirm it.

Never would I assume the response would be this bungled.

We're looking at geometric rates of growth like Iran because this administration is not testing at all. Obama dealt with the Swine epidemic immediately after only 20 cases and no deaths.

And even if we didn't test like Iran, we have better-educated people so if the president told them to take it seriously and to wash their hands and avoid going out; it would be better contained. But he can't have that because the economy would slow down so he pretends like it's nothing.

I never excluded the fact it could be deadlier you stupid shit. I just said it wasn’t definitive and it still is not. The mortality date has a floor of .7% ala korea’s numbers. You’re just a stupid affirmative action persian monkey who got a token degree in sweden that lacks even basic reading skills.

As for the disease itself, the real reason it’s deadly is because it’s so infectious. The US needed to massively test and also mandatorily quarantine all those affected. It does’t matter what the mortality rate is if a ton of people are infected. The flu itself already strains the medical system. Now we will see Covid-19 blow it up because the Trump administration was really that incompetent.

So it is inviteable that the infection spreads. Unless we find a permanent vaccination we will simply have to live with the virus forever.
Dukhat

Sat Mar 07 16:25:29
Yes because the faster this thing spreads, the more people will become sick and strain the system.

About 15% require hospitalization and 5% require critical care. Our hospital system will be overwhelmed if people get infected too fast just like Italy and Iran.

Too many people act like its nothing which will make the spread worse and possibly overwhelm our medical system which means more deaths just from lack of access to medical care.

Because our president and right-wing media have said it’s a hoax a big chunk of people are going to act like it’s nothing and make the spread so much worse. It has a significant chance of getting really bad. Actually it’s pretty much mathematically guaranteed.

” The plight of 3,500 people aboard the Grand Princess took a dramatic and complicated turn Friday when U.S. government officials ordered the cruise ship to dock at an undisclosed port after tests confirmed that 21 crew and guests were infected with the new coronavirus.”


The US fovernment is basically kidnapping them and taking them to a secret location where they will be locked up for God knows how long. Perhaps they will run some tests and experiments on these people. Maybe they will force them to change sex, like Chelsea Manning.

We quarantined the other cruise passengers at military bases so I don't know what the hangup is except for the huge number. It's probably Trump because he doesn't want to increase the number of cases.

Also this thing has a confirmed case that was at CPAC or whatever it was called in late February. So it's already spreading among the dumbest of the dumb who will say, "See it's nothing" while infecting their family and friends en masse and killing off the most vulnerable among them.

as to CPAC

"CPAC chairman Matt Schlapp tells me he interacted with attendee who has tested positive for coronavirus. While the timeline is unknown, Schlapp shook Trump's hand on stage the last day of the conference. "

"Currently, there are about 75,000 coronavirus tests available for the American public, US Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union” today.

"By early next week – tomorrow – we should have over 2 million tests available. By the end of the week, through partnerships with private industry, over 4 million tests available," Adams said. "But the most important number to the American people is one. They want to know if I go in, can I get a test? And the one thing that I’ve heard – I’ve been to Georgia, I’ve been to Georgia, I’ve been to Connecticut in the past week – is that no public health doctor who was asked for a test has not been able to get a test. So people should talk to their healthcare providers."

Yet when Tapper asked how many people have been tested, Adams said, "The numbers are tough because they're changing minute by minute."

Tapper responded, "Just the rough numbers?"

Adams later said, "I would refer you to the CDC for that because, again, the numbers change so rapidly.""

From the begginig, they tested aggressively. Quarantined aggressively (with electronic monitoring). And their citizens take this shit seriously after SARS and MERS.

We've had this thing spreading for over a month now and it's in over a dozen states. And we haven't even gotten to the testing part.

"@50% infection rates, total mortality for the 30-40 range would almost double with .2%."

.4% is relatively insignificant when you consider H1N1 had an all-age group mortality of 11%. Corona doesn't get into double digits even in age-specific designations until patients are over 80.

It's not just the mortality numbers. About 10-15% of people have needed hospitalization (ventilator help) and 5% ICU care. And the low-end of mortality was .6% in Korea where they have tested incredibly aggressively and have treated everyone. That's at least 3x deadlier than the flu. China had a much greater mortality rate (take the numbers for what they are) because their hospitals were swamped and people died at home or waiting for a bed.

People who don't really suffer from it are the most deadly because they show no symptoms but can infect a lot of people. If enough people are infected, then the hospital system is overwhelmed. And it really doesn't take much. Our capitalist healthcare system only builds enough beds to be profitable for the average number of cases it expects.

If millions get it, that's hundreds of thousands that will need ventilators and tens of thousands that need ICU care.

Politics aside, everyone should just assume that they have it and wash their hands and avoid interacting with people, especially older people.

Meanwhile in Iran

"Many religious people have begun posting videos of themselves licking and kissing mosque decorations as a cure and a preventive measure against the disease,"

No wonder they're all dieing.

If this kills both the religious leadership of Iran and Trump, Thanos will be very happy.

Perfectly balanced. As all things should be.

The dying has started in Germany (automatically translated):

http://www...-in-deutschland-gestorben.html

One of the victims is an 89-year-old woman from Essen who has been treated in the university hospital there since the beginning of March. She had died of pneumonia as a result of the coronavirus infection, the city of Essen announced on Monday. The District Administrator of Heinsberg wanted to give more information about the other dead person(s) in the evening. On Sunday, a firefighter from Hamburg had already died of coronavirus in Egypt.

"What he actually said was that Pence met with the cruise ship company leaders and that within 72 hrs from that meeting they had agreed to formulate a plan.

He then said pretty much to hear it from Pence not me so as to not send mixed measages."

No, that isn't what he said. He said they would have the plan within 72 hours of the meeting. There was no implication that a plan was complete, instead there was a very clear indication that the plan had not been completed.


To be crystal:
- Pence met with cruise ship company the day before the clip.
- the ship was coming into port the day after the clip.
- the day of the clip, Carson suggested first that the plan would be ready within 72 hours (of current time) and then when pressed, amended it to say 72 hours from the meeting Pence had.

7 infected in Mexico. Now is the time to get it to pay for the wall. Hell, Mexico might build it too.

Paul Gosar is losing it after less than a day of self-quarantine:

"Been thinking about life and mortality today. I’d rather die gloriously in battle than from a virus. In a way it doesn’t matter. But it kinda does."

Pardon me but I laughed:

Italian penitentiary police said Monday that six inmates protesting virus containment measures at a northern Italian lockup have died after they broke into the infirmary and overdosed on methadone.

There idea of prevention is to lick religious decorations to both prevent and cure covid19 ....that cant end well.

Hell this may be great for US foriegn policy in the middle east. Its already taking out high ups in Irans government and can't be good for Hezbollah who id imagine habe terrible health plans.
