I haven’t seen anything above 4.4% and as low as 1%. I get all the denominator and testing issues as well. Point being, I have a feeling the mortality rate is probably pretty low compared to SARS, MERS, Ebola, etc..

 

im wondering at what point we start moving from complete shut down to more of a risk management approach. This doesn’t seem very sustainable for long.

it is thought (can't verify myself), that the first 5 days one is infected is when they are most contagious.

 

Yes but I meant, how do they transmit it.  I understand if someone sneezes or coughs but if they have no symptoms?

symptoms have nothing to do with being contagious. 

 

transmission is thought to be from expelling particulates from the air pathway. whether straight up coughing, sneezing or emptying one's nasal cavity... putting these particulates out into the atmosphere around you. they could then land on a surface and be picked up by anyone who happens to be in the unfortunate position of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

We’ve been told that this disease is ten times deadlier than the seasonal flu and twice as easy to transmit...So where are the deaths?  China (the epicenter) has only 80,000 cases and less than 4000 deaths.  Some states have zero deaths and states like Texas (7) and Arizona (2) have only a handful.  Half the counties in Oregon have zero cases.  


The numbers and the hype don’t add up.

Coronavirus hasn't peaked or tip of iceberg not as yet for USA. Like recovered cases so low right now. WiIth 44,499 cases. Just getting started to say.  NYC getting hit right now. The cases went straight up pretty fast. Was behind lots of countries. Now in like 3rd most cases. USA is pretty big as well.

you will be told that, 'see, our measures saved millions of lives'. of course, there will be no way to actually prove the negative.

4,000 deaths out of 80,000 cases definitely makes it more deadly than the flu. Regardless of personal opinion on the hoopla, that’s a fact. You do bring up the most intriguing point though, we really don’t know how many people it will infect. China only had 80,000 cases which is much lower than seasonal flu. If we can keep it in the hundred thousands, the numbers won’t look terrible. If as many people get Covid 19 as the seasonal flu, the deaths will be awful. Let’s hope the numbers level off, and fewer people continue to get infected. That’s the real question that has yet to be answered. We already know the fatality rate is greater than the flu.

It adds up when you consider that most Federal Governments around the world are projecting 40-70% of their population to get the virus.

 

Considering that it kills 1-2% of the people it infects, you're talking about millions and millions of deaths.

Exactly, my greatest hope is that it doesn’t infect as many as those predictions indicate. With a novel strain its impossible to guess how it will behave. There are a lot of worst case scenarios being thrown around, since it’s better to be over prepared as opposed to being unprepared.

Given how contagious it is the projections seem possible. Those models have been put together by health experts who know more about this stuff than any of us could ever imagine. 

 

The other issue to consider is that things get worse as the health care system gets strained. 


As things stand the US still has masks, protective equipment and other supplies. In a week or so some hospitals will be out of protective equipment. 

 

Once the rush comes, and the system is strained is when it will get bad. NYC has about 2500 available ventilators and currently around 500 people in ICUs hooked up.

 

In two weeks once this thing has spread exponentially again, the number of people in need of a ventilator will exceed the number available in some hospitals. 

 

This is what happened in Italy where they've had to leave people to die in the hallways. More people need ventilators than are available and the healthcare system collapses. In Italy the mortality rate is almost 10% because their hospitals were completely overwhelmed with people in need of critical care.

that's the point.  There is no evidence that it will ever cause "millions and millions of deaths".  It's been in the US for at least two months and its caused barely 500.  In China, it's been around for the entire winter and it's killed only 4000 out of a population of 1.4 billion.  It's nowhere near reaching even the number of deaths from seasonal flu, even in Italy, which is one of the worst countries in the world for seasonal flu deaths.  If in fact CV is more deadly than seasonal flu, then it's MUCH harder to transmit, based on the much lower number of deaths.

It depends how you define "cases".  If "cases" includes everyone who's infected, then yes, but it is probably only people who have shown fairly serious symptoms.

"Projecting" doesn't make it so.  What I'm saying is that the numbers so far don't match the projections of the "experts".

You don't seem to understand how pandemics spread.

 

Everyone doesn't get it the same time. It spreads.

 

Person A gives COVID-19 to 3 people (the average transmission based off data I've seen), who each give it to 3 people, who each give it to 3 people, etc.

 

By the time it's been transmitted 10 times, 30,000 people have it. 


That's how this thing will spread.

 

45,000 people (knowingly) have it right now in the US. In a few days after each of them have given it to 3 more people, 135,000 people will have it.

 

A few days after that 400,000 people will have it.

 

In a month if the curve isn't flatter, millions of people might have it, and tens of thousands will be dead.

You make a great point about defining “cases”, and you are 100% percent correct. If we are saying Covid 19 mortality rate is anywhere between 1-5%, it’s probably much lower in comparison to actual cases. However, if we are saying that the mortally rate for seasonal flu is 0.02%, that is probably actually lower as well. How many people with the flu aren’t defined as “cases”? The last time I had the flu I didn’t go to the doctor, so I wouldn’t be a case. Using that metric, Covid 19 is still worse than the flu. I do agree the rate of fatalities is probably much lower than what we think. It’s certainly not a death sentence. Things are a bit hysterical right now because Italy has a terrible mortality rate. Germany’s is less than 1%.
