New England Journal of Medicine: Coronavirus Could Be No Worse than Flu

Italy's numbers:

 

With all that poop and needles something serious like hep might be looming for the unsuspecting.

 

At least it ain't squid. Nothing draws flies like that stuff. Except maybe some of the other stuff hanging in the heat and humidity.

 

That bottom number is 6.33%. While scary, the fact that it is still trending downward is a good sign even though it does appear to be flattening.

 

Just that it’s common and nothing to be alarmed about. Happens all the time

 

Giggles.
Was it over your head?

 

It is obviously you didnt read my bet with Andrew Jackson. Your kind was blaming how evil Donald Trump for not taking care of the Coronavirus. I bet him that over the next month that there will be more people kill in New Orleans By Black people than the whole USA is kill by the Coronavirus. So do you still want to take that bet? Loser will be self band from PF for a month?

 

Personally not particularly, but the FBI and DOJ keep very thorough statistics on race, gender, age and location of all violent crime.

 

I did the same only with the city of Chicago as the playing field.

Lets see which takes more lives in the US this year. A disease that the left says is considered a worldwide pandemic that President Trump has done nothing about or murders on the streets of Chicago. There have been 68 homicides in Chicago in 2020.

 

Ok, but this virus is certainly a concern, and it's volatility has not been metered to any certainty, so this virus and it's impact should not be dismissed.

 

What is volatility and how does one meter it?

 

Post #18 was explicit about blacks. No one knows about what this virus's impact will be.

 

Science. Nature. Reality. Truth.

Yulee, suggesting that frank dispassionate discussions about complex issues that effect our lives and death is barbarous and worthy of censure is dark ages chic. It's also beneath you and your typically engaging analytic and boundary less post style.

The majority of 80 year olds that contracted the Wuhan Coronavirus and died were extremely fragile at onset. I'd aver that these old souls with serious and multiple comorbidities were vulnerable to, and unable to endure, any assault to the body. Exposure to a cold night, a fall,
gastroenteritis, an infected bed sore or a slight increase in pain medication could have precipitated a deadly cascade.

It's arguable that those with serious comorbidities, terminal illnesses at end stage, shouldn't be included in covid-19 mortality statistics. The virus didn't kill these people it was the cancer, the heart failure, the advanced diabetes or even dementia.

Both recent reports on covid-19 raise this issue, the WHO and the CCDC.

• Front the analysis of death cases, it emerged that the demographic profile was mainly male, accounting for 2/3, females accounting for 1/3, and is mainly elderly, more than 80% are elderly over 60 years old, and more than 75% had underlying diseases present such as cardiovascular and cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and, in some cases, tumor.
• Elderly people with basic diseases, as long as they have pneumonia, were clinically a high-risk factor regardless of whether it is a coronavirus or not, and the case fatality rate was also very high, so it is not that the case fatality rate of pneumonia is high because of the infection with the new coronavirus. "This point must be explained to everyone," concluded the NHC official.

Let us be reminded, 85% of those >80 with confirmed cases of covid-19 recovered. The virus does not seem to be as brutally unforgiving or fatal as some report.

Questions and discussions along this line are valid and necessary.

So do you want to take that bet?

 

Seriously ??

 

Are you again stating that only blacks do the killing in NOLA ??

 

Hasn't really done anything overly concerning at this point....far less then passed ones that nobody seemed to care much about

 

Man, and the WHO ranks Italy's healthcare 2nd, behind only France! How is that remotely possible???

 

Ehh, not worth holding one's breath over, they will never get him when there's a Republican majority in the Senate. The Republicans are too afraid of him to hold him to any kind of a standard.

 

The New York Times.

 

There were 146 murders in New Orleans in 2018, regardless of race. That's an average of 12 per month.

6 people have died in the US over the last 3 days.

 

That's in poor taste. We flubbed the opening stages of this, but it wasn't Trump's fault. He had no business downplaying it, but no matter what we did, it was going to come here and take hold. In a point of favor of Trump, he had the right idea: travel bans. But he lacked the political will to override the (incredibly ignorant) complaints of racism by the Left. We should have stopped all travel/immigration two weeks ago. We missed that boat and hindsight is 20/20.

What we need to do is close the schools down, right now. The Chinese actually bought us a little time, locking down their people. We're letting it slip through our fingers. This thing is spreading undetected, and kids are walking disease vectors.

 

Yes what is viral volatility and how is it metered?

 

When I say metered, I mean on how they can measure its impact on people, and without having any definite baseline, it can be a volatile situation.

 

Look at my bet with aj.
