Mortality rate going up?

Get with program…It’s Trump fault.

Which only applies to cases that have been tested and proven to be Covid19.

Since 80% Of those who get it won’t become seriously ill the vast majority will never be tested because they’ll never even see a doc, they’ll just tough it out or treat it with OTC meds.

That’s what I keep hearing.

He must have peed into the machine all the way from DC.

So your argument is that you’re making up numbers out of thin air of people you are imagining have covid-19? That’s cool I guess.

I didn’t make up anything, that’s according to the CDC which I have posted several times already.

How do you get 80% won’t have it because they are never tested for it? That makes absolutely no sense.

You can’t on 1 hand say you don’t know how many have it then say you know the % who aren’t tested and have it

Read the article. 80% will not get seriously ill with it.

Unless you do get seriously ill, you’re not going to go running to the doc.

If you do go running to the doc and aren’t in a high risk group, they are not going to waste a test on you if you aren’t seriously ill.

Incompetence. Failure. Slow response. Top down focus on downplaying the threat instead of reacting to real time information. I get it.

Once again, you’re imagining numbers on top of the 80%. Try rereading your article. The only thing it says, is that 80% are mild while 20% are serious.

It doesn’t say, “well then, we can just imagine a number of people have it, with no data to back it, just so we can say the morality rate is lower”.

20% get seriously ill.

The mortality rate is now above 3%.

Those are the facts we know.

That doesn’t mean you just get to make up mortality rates out of thin air.

They began developing the test before they even had any material to work wit based on the typing the Chinese gave us.

literally within days of recieving the genetic material the test kits were in full production and began shipping within a week.

yes, that’s a horribly slow response. :rofl:

If we use the 0.1% number in your article. That would mean that there have been 14,000 people that have been infected.

If we have 14,000 people that have contracted the coronavirus in Washington, it is spreading fast.

It doesn’t matter how may there are, they cost money and doc’s generally oppose unnecessary testing since it violates their code of ethics.

LOS ANGELES — As COVID-19 cases spike, the test kits needed to help stem the spread of the disease remain in short supply, with health care workers across California reporting widespread failings in the federal government’s response to the growing crisis.

Waiting for government bureaucrats to get anything done you will die first. Oh BTW we get your test kits. Too late.

That’s goverment in nutshell.

No it doesn’t.

Washington has a specific cluster that breaks the norms because of the nursing home outbreak.

Tulsa has now officially had it’s first case. A man just tested positive a couple of hours ago.

Well their state PH labs have them so if they have something to complain about it’s at the state level similar to all the whining we heard from PR after the hurricane.

In the end we found out that there were thousands of containers full of relief supplies rotting on the docks because local officials failed to distribute them.
