Where are you getting those numbers from (mortality going from 8% to 1% in a week)?
No you don’t.
You don’t even live in a state that could do that.
651/km2 in Taiwan.
62/KM2 in the US.
Taiwan, heavily dependent on apartment living and mass transit, easy to shut down and control.
US Not at all.
Taiwan Mono culture steeped in servitude to the state for a thousand years under Chinese Rule.
US, not at all, we are citizens, not subject with expressly protected individual rights, Taiwan, few if any.
The US ranks 145 internationally in population density and 2 in size.
Taiwan is a very small island nation with very secure borders and very limited international travel.
US? 
You couldn’t be more wrong if you tried.

I never said it happened in a week. Read what I wrote, not what you imagine.
8% and in a few short weeks to 1%

What source are you using for your data? We peaked at 5.83% on 4/30 and now we’re at 5.76%.

We’re at less than 1% today.
Your model or your pencil or maybe both are broken.

Is Cornell no longer an acceptable source?

Total mortality, total testing, percentage of total mortality from the disease.
If you want to go with total confirmed cases to change the outcome we can do that too.

We are at a higher mortality rate of confirmed cases and deaths than 1, 2 or 3 weeks ago (or any point prior to 4/29).

How do we calculate the mortality rate for the 1918 Spanish flu outbreak?
Total deaths, total population.
Do you really want to go down this road? I’m game.

We’re talking about the case fatality rate. A total population mortality rate wouldn’t go down. The numerator doesn’t get smaller.

Love this thread. Lol.
665,000 dead, 105,000,00 TP =.633 mortality rate.
68,922 dead 330,000,000 TP= .208 mortality rate.
Which number is bigger?
