This is because the amount of testing has ramped up exponentially over this period. This was totally expected.

We have a present generation that’s being taught in school that the earth will end in 8 years if we don’t pass a Green New Deal. We have people who think the polar ice caps will melt and drown all the costal towns.
It’s not surprising that it’s very easy to panic this countries citizens into being frightened children.

We have wake jobs that think the world's economic system works magically with the use of magic beans. Its a serious bug but nothing is going to be solved by the present action and at the risk of going Mad Max (system reset).
Mad Max couldn't even find fresh shotgun shells, let alone all the supplies modern societies us.
I'll make out better than most as I can supply the majority of my food.

That's not right. Ventilators & hospitalizations save lives for those who need them. Even if you're very elderly or have multiple comorbidities, you dramatically improve your chances of survival from profound hypoxia by going on a vent. The problem is that the highest-risk folks need them for much longer (and their recoveries are more uncertain) and hospitals that could save people with more staff, PPE, & vents don't because they're venting people who they anticipate will need them for shorter periods (and thus more people can benefit). If you "flatten the curve" more people are spared the rationing of the beneficial treatment.

OK, you're right but 360/327 mill vs 360/360 mill not much different.

The vents are hail mary with this thing, 95%+ are dying right there... let alone making it months after release.
The goal should be to never see the hospital, once you do the chances are not good at all.. they are horrible.

Agree that the best public health policies are the ones that slow rate of infection and hospitals are the last line of defense. These epidemics are absolutely terrible for providers too. I know providers with serious psych issues from being in hard-hit SARS areas.

Death isn't the only negative outcome from catching coronavirus.
This thread is about mortality rate of the virus.
It is a fallacy to say that out of the active population, there could be deaths which could increase the mortality rate, as the active number of cases will continue to grow.

These daily threads downplaying a Global pandemic have gotten very old fast.
It's really disheartening. I don't understand why people aren't taking this seriously. Just because coronavirus has only infected 0.004% of the global population doesn't mean it isn't as serious as the Spanish Flu that killed 3-5% of the global population or the Black Death that killed 25%. This virus is more deadly than the smallpox epidemic that wiped out 33% of Japan's population in the 730s.
The Asian Flu killed 2 million people worldwide, but if we don't force people into quarantine and shut down all businesses, then the deaths from this virus combined with an asteroid strike will surpass that easily. New research has shown that coronavirus was responsible for the Permian Extinction, so you know it's super serious.

33 million is a bit of a difference.

Even more crazy is the average age of the person in Italy dying from this is basically in line with the life expectancy there. 79 years old (80.5 years normally) for men and 82 years old (84.5 years old) for women.
So...
- this is a bug that hits elder harder (70+)
- vast percentage of the people dying have 1 pre-existing condition 99.1%
- most have two pre-existing condition 70%+
- most people will have no symptoms or so little that they might not even know they have it
Why is everyone freaking out? What does all this shut downs do other than frick the actual world?

We are measuring pneumonia deaths from the latest cold at this point.

While you are waiting on this hypothetical, 1600 grandmas and children died of cancer yesterday.

I'm still waiting for someone to make their point when they say shite like this.

Comparing disease mortality rates to Pearl Harbor is kind of silly. The Japanese Navy only had one day to do what they did. it's apples and oranges.

The point is context... meaning life doesn't stop, you don't purposely frick over the world to add a few months to a very select group of people.
There is a clear lack of context, good decision process and common sense involved in what is going on.

Today on the website the new cases took a significant drop. Hopefully it’s a new start, and the recoveries start taking a jump. Hopefully!

We’re doing better than most from a mortality rate perspective.
Germany is doing well
