A fiasco in the making? As the coronavirus pandemic takes hold, we are making decisions without reliable data By John P.A. Ioannidis March 17, 2020

I just hope everyone remembers this shit storm when it’s time to vote. This is a man made virus. Crashing the economy yeah good job you demotards.

It’s way higher than that, could easily be 20%.

Exactly. Let's do nothing and let the virus infect 200 million of our citizens. With a death rate of 3% only 6 million people will die, but the DJIA will still be above 25,000. Typical reputard retard logic. Originally Posted by adav8s28

the lock down was a complete overreaction. a more sensible thing like Sweden would be isolate the elderly who are vulnerable and let everyone else go about their day and wear masks.


and since the leftists want to investigate Trump for this scamdemic when are the NY hearings on the bright fucking idea that Andy Cuomo allowed to bring suspected infected into nursing homes? and of new cases in NYC over 60% are from people who were sheltering at home. go figure.

Until you count the number of people who are asymptomatic the death rate for CV19 can't be determined with accuracy.

So you "think" the rate is x, but immediately post that we cannot determine the rate with accuracy at this point.

You apparently lost it at "think".

Numbnuts, have you ever heard of word estimate?

What do you think author of the link in post #1 is doing? It's full of estimates because of lack of data.

He did in the Santa Clara study with antibodies.

Sampling the population gives you the percentage of the population that had COVID-19 - including those who were asymptomatic.

When he estimated the number of deaths caused by SARS below, he did not count the asymptomatics. You are mixing apples and oranges.

If we assume that case fatality rate among individuals infected by SARS-CoV-2 is 0.3% in the general population — a mid-range guess from my Diamond Princess analysis — and that 1% of the U.S. population gets infected (about 3.3 million people), this would translate to about 10,000 deaths.

a is on the correct path - referring to Dr.Iioaniddis. article of March, 2020.

We still do not have a good handle on the denominator of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic infections.

Still - the major at risk groups are elderly with underlying disease, and the immunisuppressed.

Not to say young and healthy people cannot be severely affected - it does - but at a lower rate than Influenza A -IMHO.

If you assume 6-10% percent infection rate in the densely populated areas of the Divided States of America, then you get much closer to the current number of deaths attributed to COVID-19 in America according to the government, subject to your reasonable assumption of a 0.3% infection fatality rate.

Right now in the USA you have 3 million infections (includes with symptoms and without symptoms) and 88,000 deaths. Do the math, death rate of CV19 is higher than .3% which is what the professor from Stanford calculated/estimated for SARS.
