Thanks. 57 minutes ago, TPS said: Yep, something definitely off with his numbers. I read estimate from WA state #s was to multiply deaths by 800 to get # of cases, but of course there's a range. The numbers didn't come from DeWine. They came from Dr. Amy Acton, Director, Ohio Dept of Health. Here is a link to their press conference if you are interested. If you go to about the 38:30 mark, she talks for several minutes about the data and how she arrived at her "guesstimates" of the timeframe for the peak of the virus, the rate the virus is spreading, the percentage of the population that will be infected, etc. This is where she "guesstimates" about 100,000 people in Ohio (1% of the population) are currently infected with the virus. Elsewhere in the press conference, she states, at the time of the conference, there are 9 "confirmed" cases, 4 requiring hospitalization, and no deaths.

The "flu season" is an annual occurrence that we've grown accustomed to despite the number of infected, hospitalizations and deaths. We know that annually there will be A vaccine available, but not to be construed to mean THE vaccine as in 100% preventative. There are too many strains and I'd bet many forego even the existing vaccine. 2. Coronavirus has NO vaccine (yet). Thus the "flames of panic" are being fanned. Just the same as the flu, there will eventually be A vaccine available, but not to be construed to mean THE vaccine as in 100% preventative. 3 minutes ago, billsfan1959 said: The numbers didn't come from DeWine.

B-Man Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Opinion: Be Ready, Diagnosed Cases of Wuhan Virus Likely to Skyrocket Next Week, but That’s Not All Bad Right now, the numbers are still relatively low for those who have been diagnosed with the Wuhan virus. But get ready for it now, because when many more tests are readily available next week, the numbers are likely to skyrocket. There are few things that are important to take in because while that’s not great, there actually are some good things in that rising number. First, there have likely been thousands who had early exposure in places like Washington state that we didn’t know about because China lied for the first couple of months and people from Wuhan were still traveling abroad. Many likely had it/or have it but since most people who get it, have it only mildly, many may not even be aware they have it. Right now, as my colleague Elizabeth Vaughn reported, we have about 48 dead going into Saturday, and most of those were from Washington state with half being from Life Care Center nursing facility in Kirkland, Washington. That’s good, because as far as we know, that’s not a lot of deaths so far with likely thousands of cases floating out there probably undiagnosed. Death is the one relatively firm data point we have for the virus since those in bad condition would likely have made it to the hospital. Yet we still have a very low number there, being in the 40s. What does that mean? That means that while the number of people who have been diagnosed with it will jump, the deaths haven’t jumped yet. That means that the actual morbidity rate which people have estimated as somewhere between 1-2% based on what we know now, may likely drop below 1%. The WHO rate of 3.4% that some have remarked on is was based on China whose numbers are uncertain and not reliable. As Dr. Drew Pinsky noted it also had a qualifier “as more testing/diagnosing evolves,” it’s likely to go down. Plus you can’t do an apples to oranges comparison of China to the United States, especially since China lied for two months and allowed the spread. While no death is good, that’s a much better number than the worst-case scenarios being pushed by folks like a former Obama official, Andy Slavitt. Dr. Jeremy Faust, an emergency medicine doctor at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, explained. From ABC: “What I was able to find by looking at a few other data sources, rather than just the big flashy numbers, was that there’s actually a lot of reason to be reassured that the numbers are a lot lower,” said Faust. Because only the sickest people are showing up at hospitals, this group is likely over-represented among the full population of people who have COVID-19, according to Faust. Most COVID-19 cases are mild, and many individuals will never even see a health care provider to be tested.

During President Donald Trump’s announcement of his emergency declaration for response to the Wuhan Coronavirus, there was a question from one reporter that earned the derision and anger toward the press and its attitude.
