DC Tom Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 35 minutes ago, GG said: Figures the pandemic would get you out of the fox hole. What's up at CDC? Three months I've been tracking this. Since two weeks before this thread started. Still haven't found a single number, reliable or otherwise, for the morbidity rate of nCOVID-19. It's ridiculous. The mortality rate varies only by how much testing a country does - more testing, less deaths. That's a clear indication that no one has any ***** idea what's going on. I hit Costo two weeks ago for non-perishables, figuring everyone was about to go nuts over this. And a couple weeks ago, someone asked me if they should take their planned trip to Costa Rica last week. I said "Sure, you'll be fine. It'll be the week of the 13th that the ***** hits the fan." I mention that only because my predictions have nailed all of this so far. So I'll make this prediction: this will all start to unwind and get back to normal probably just after Easter. Mostly, this is not nearly as big a crisis as people are acting. It's a big problem for the elderly, infirm, and immunocompromised, which is no small thing - I'm self-quarantined since yesterday, because my sister-in-law who lives with us has COPD, and if I bring the Kung Flu home, I probably get a bad cold, but it will kill her. But other than that, and supply chain disruption (i.e. groceries, gasoline)...in a year, we're likely to look back on this and snicker at the overreaction. 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We take a customer of ours each year to Giants Spring Training and had to cancel. Too bad. We get tickets at the Charro Lodge for a dozen people; burgers, beers, etc. Pretty much no one watches the game, but we have a blast. Meanwhile, the left continues to lose its freaking mind.

Two themes that I'm picking up as I scroll through different news sources on this: 1- We don't have enough tests, and hardly anyone is getting tested. 2- Cases are rising exponentially across the country.

They're presumptive - there's a mathematical model that describes the spread pretty well (seen it on Twitter, only Japan doesn't fit.) Odds are, there's probably a lot more people in the US that have the virus than have been tested for it. Also means the odds are it's doesn't cause serious illness in most people. Gets back to what I said earlier: I haven't seen any number - not just a reliable number, but even a wild guess - as to the morbidity of COVID-19. Either no one knows, or no one's telling. South Korea's epidemiological numbers are probably the most accurate, since they did the broadest and most aggressive testing. The US numbers are probably least accurate. And don't ask me what's going on with Italy. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you suppose they're calling all confirmed cases those that have been tested? Also, nearly 65% of deaths have occurred in one area of china (presumably where Wuhan/Ground 0 is) is that simply due to the timeline? It seems disproportionate and with China there's always that question of available resources/what the government might be doing (not to mention the overall lack of trust in the statistics reported by the government) Also, for those in the know: The majority of cases seem to be well north of the equator... Is that due to countries in South America and Africa not having as much exposure to foreigners, or is there more to that? I understand a lot of this stuff is unknown, just wondering what others have seen discussed! Edited March 12, 2020 by whatdrought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
