HHS estimates coronavirus mortality rate at 0.1%-1%

Thanks -

That shows that every state does have cases.

 

Yes he was originally appointed to the pistion the admiral later filled that’s the point. Geez

 

Only thing a Trump and Rush downplayed was the mass hysteria created by our democrats media.

 

No. We can stop the numbers from spiking by implementing the advise from the Task Force and specifically the CDC. We need to protect the elderly. Most of the deaths have been people 70 years and older. The few younger people who died had extenuating issues with their immune system.

People who don't have symptoms or have very mild symptoms should not try to rush to get tested and clog up the system.

Everyone should wash their hands far more often than "normal", stay home if they have any kind of symptoms, keep your distance (6 feet) from anyone who looks sick, don't shake hands, and respect and follow the advice from their local or county health departments.

Don't kiss grandma and stop buying 200 rolls of toilet paper at one time.

 

The CDC reports that you can infect others before you feel any symptoms.

Experts say your plan is a definite fail in terms of containing the spread, keeping the demand on medical aid within our capacity, and keeping the death count low. Also, those less vulnerable can need medical attention to survive - the fact that they didn't die doesn't mean they weren't a load on our system.

 

First of all, I don't see any sign of "mass hysteria". And, suggesting that is iteself a disservice, as we need to know what to do.

And, ranting on air that it is a Democratic plot against the presidency IS happening and IS a major disservice to America - and not just because it's a flat out lie.

 

A small fraction of those infected end up hospitalized. CDC says stay home self quarantine. This is a new cold virus and will be here forever. May as well learn to live with it. Can’t hide forever.

 

It is mass hysteria and the hysteria is fueled by those wishing to harm our economy and by extension our President who’s greatest achievement is our economy.

 

South Korea has tested over 3,600 people per 1M population, with a program of drive through testing of 15,000 people per day.

The US has tested 5 people per1M population.

We don't really know the extent of our problem yet. And, that's what experts such as Trump's Dr. Fauci says. Dr. David Ho, who is leading research on COVID and who has awards for his major progress on AIDS says the same thing.

While flying blind, what we're doing to flatten the peaks is improving.

 

What is being done has nothing at all to do with "hiding forever".

 

NO expert has suggested there is hysteria.

Consistently, we've seen calls from federal and local government to take stronger action - NOT to inform us of why we don't need to do so.

Where do you come up with your nonsense - I really want to know.

Are you echoing Fox or Rushbo? Or, what?

 

Exactly.

Trump fired the team that we needed up and running when the China problem first started.

 

And, that was partisan political crap that served to slow America's response to this pandemic.

And, this is still going on.

 

That is not all that is being recommended at the federal level.

You haven't even caught up with Trump yet!

 

No he did not the CDC global pandemic team was still in place and doing their job.

a White House team that got its origins when Obama appointed a political operative into a job for PR purpose was later reorganized and restructured...and frankly not necessary

 

True, we don't know exactly when our curve will peak at the moment. Dr. Birx said that 98-99% of our tests have come back negative. Rough math: If we have 2500 cases at 2% positive, then we've tested 125,000 people.

Everyone is working hard to deal with the situation. The Task Force was very pleased at the level of cooperation and non-partisanship in working with all the states' governors and with our ability to quickly break through the bureaucratic red tape, especially for the CDC, and get the ball rolling with our public-private partnerships to "flatten our curve".



They're saying that the number of cases will increase. They've been saying that since we got the first few cases here. It's really up to local communities and individuals to take protective measures to keep the numbers down.

 

Talking about the record drop after his speech that was supposed to calm the markets and the populace. And the going up was just a straight line from the Obama presidency. The rather precipitous drop would indicate that those who own stocks have no faith that our current government is capable of dealing with the virus.

 

So you have no faith in the Trump government either.

 

Wrong, and wrong…..and surprise surprise….wrong.

But at least your consistent.

 

You mean like when he said it was under control.

 

Thank you for another fact free post. Usually the best Trumpies can do!

 

Luckily the dreary predictions of death in the US by some on this forum have proven incorrect so far

50 ish dead so far is the past two weeks combined.

To get to the:

25,000 dead prediction on here, 11 people per hour would have to die for the next 90 days,
11 dead every hour for the next 2160 hours (90 Days)

50,000 dead predictions, 23 per hour...
100,000 dead prediction, 46 per hour...

90 days seems to be a fair estimate of a timeframe to use based on what we saw and are seeing out of ground zero in China.

More deaths are inevitable but the final number deaths appears to be tracking much lower than some predicted.

At the current rate of 25 dead per week we would have 300 total deaths, that seems on the extreme low end to expect. But if the eventual rate is 10x the current rate we would see 3,000 total dead. 20x would 6,000 dead and so on.

The overblown nature of this was evident from the start just looking at the numbers out of China. ​

 

No, it isn't all that's recommended. The CDC has pages and pages of information for anyone who wants to keep up.

And I have no idea what you mean about "catching up with Trump", but I am reading the CDC highlights regularly as they change, and watching the daily Task Force press conferences...plus keeping up with state and local updates. We seem to have a pretty good handle on things after a slow start.

 

This is nonsense.

Had we had such a team, we would be an intirely different position.

Remember that Trump claims that HE built his team. And that he started after January.

Not only that, we're still getting the information we get from Trump. And, he's lying.

He claims there is a CDC site where you can enter your symptoms and find out if you should get tested. But, there aren't enough tests, the site doesn't exist, Trump claimed Google was doing that, but they weren't. AND, the proposal for that was to build such a site targeted to healthcare workers in California.

... for one!

 

Good graphic and logic surrounding that!

So far, it's certainly true that it's mostly up to locals.

But, I was mentioning testing, because the federal level has been the reason testing has been PATHETICALLY behind the curve.
