Dude, A week ago Missouri had 1 case. Yesterday another individual self presented....2....now two more are presumptive positive....they did not say where they are from or that they self presented....fact is there are many people out there infected....give it a week to two weeks....How can you count deaths now to quantify this?

Or claim there are too few deaths to worry about testing? It is beçause they are not testing that there is this uncertainty...this thing is spreading silently.

When it spreads silently it may peak all at once which is what can stress the system and lead to massive death toll.

In reply to Ayenmol

No such thing as too few deaths.

Just the reality of 350 million people and only 41 deaths.

People crying not enough testing to show the severity of the situation.

My opinion is the death toll is the ultimate truth teller of the situation.

We are not seeing the exponential explosion of deaths in other regions.

The US has a better healthcare system as compared to Italy, Iran and China.

We will not see the death tolls they are experiencing

You are prejudiced....you are completely making that stuff up because you are conditioned to think the US is better.

It is already evident that the US is behind the curve.

People who get seriously ill will need ventillators....US is severely behind....the US also has less beds per citizen than Italy....so no the health care, as relates to this pandemic is not better.

This thing has legs....give it two weeks.

In reply to black

People will die if they do not have ventillators.

When people get sick they need respirators to get better.

So far old folks and others with pre- existing conditions are dying even on ventillators....but the bigger issue is of you dont have the respirators then people who do not have underlying issues are succumbing because they cant get the care they need.

So yes, beds are important....there is no better heslthcare besides that...because you can have a million better doctors and mri machines and robotic operators....that wont help people sick with this virus.

Ok dummy? Beds and respirators. Better hope what happened in Italy ...i.e the breakout....does not happen here.

How many of the 350 million Americans have been tested?

How many Americans have been tested in the past few months. ....answer- less than 5000 ( benefit of the doubt)

And deaths will not be only those directly attributed to the virus, but all those additional deaths caused as a result of the stress placed on the healthcare system by the virus.

Maj, like Trump, will want to focus on that tree, meanwhile the forest is about to burn down.

It is for these reasons why testing is now even more important at this point to get the whole picture of the problem Trump doesn’t want to see, and so it seems maj.

 
Halliwell 2020-03-14 12:41:48 

In reply to Casper

Isn’t it too late now to ramp up testing while new clinical cases appear every day?
If you will not isolate cases and their families then no sense in testing other than to calculate rates on paper. Testing is effective in the first stage.

Now, shut down measures only can delay the onset.

I said the Trump Administration is incompetent and was slow to react but show me where Italy is doing such a great job that is worthy of praise?

This is a problem of competence, not a problem of means. That is the point I was making.

Instead, you went on some rambling bullshit about things that are obvious.

 
Halliwell 2020-03-14 14:18:07 

In reply to johndom90

Sorry I should have been clearer...apologies.
Testing in a hospital environment is very much encouraged.

In non-hospital settings, there are too many cases now, to have people who are suspect cases showing mild symptoms being tested. It diverts precious resources from the clinically ill to the people who are showing minor flu like symptoms.

We have enough evidence from SKorea, Iran, China, Hong Kong, Thailand, Italy to extrapolate case numbers based on age demographics and deaths.

That is all that matters. So why you arguing anything else?

show me where Italy is doing such a great job that is worthy of praise?


Dummy, the point is not that Italy is worthy of praise, but that they were better equipped than the US per capita to deal with a peak curve in serious infections to their population, yet they ran out of beds and people are dying at home because there's no way to treat them.

Which is why I said:
Better hope what happened in Italy ...i.e the breakout....does not happen here.

How can you say Italy is better equipped when they are having all sorts of problems?

Like I said, it is a matter of the U.S. not moving fast enough. We are not at the point yet where the system is being tested to capacity.

and thousands will survive will little or no symptoms.

Same people that are dying from the flu are dying from Covid 19.

Do we have widespread testing for Influenza or do we test and treat on an as needed basis.

 
DukeStreet 2020-03-14 17:12:42 

In reply to maj

We have and are controlling Influenza with approved medication. Only 0.1% of those infected with the FLU actually die. There is no publicly known and approved cure for COVID-19. The death rate is currently at 3.7%. That's 37x deadlier than the FLU. You just can't compare the 2 viruses, except for some underlying symptoms.

You really are a Trump loyalist.

Every death is heartbreaking to the people who it affects the most.

Stop treating American deaths as pure statistics in a situation that warrants effective management to mitigate what could turn into a disaster for families both emotionally and financially.

This shit is serious. While I think people are going overboard buying all the toilet paper they can lay their hands on, I do not blame them because they are scared shitless.

Why you ask?

It is mostly because they do not seem to get the assurances they need from their elected leaders.

No sorry my wife has a bird's eye view of the situation. People who have no systems are flocking to ERs demanding testing. They are overwhelming the system unnecessarily.

Not enough is being done to publicize the fact that the vast majority of people will survive. The narrative of DT lies and the government is not to be trusted is driving the hysteria.

People think contracting Covid 19 is a death sentence.

Well...speaking the truth matters. When you constantly lie over even minute shit...then people stop trusting you.

Again, you are WRANG.

SK has the rate down to 0.9%, almost 1%. Not the .07% you are talking about. Big difference there, buddy.

And anything tested and treated can be controlled. Duh. The problem is we have a pandemic on our hands and until we get folks tested, treated and cured, it ain't no joking matter nor should it ever be trivialized.

It's now at 58, but its the reality of the situation.


Flu season is hitting its stride right now in the US. So far, the CDC has estimated (based on weekly influenza surveillance data) that at least 12,000 people have died from influenza between Oct. 1, 2019 through Feb. 1, 2020, and the number of deaths may be as high as 30,000.

May the virus that is COVID-19 seek you out and attach itself to your warped sense of humor.
May there also be a delay in your ability to find a suitable test to determine your prognosis

May you stay in bed with 103° F fever and may the duration be for 14 days.

That time should be enough to revisit your callous attitude and rectify your lack of compassion.

AMEN!

Vox


Epidemiologists and disease modelers studying Covid-19 told Vox a more reliable global case fatality rate is about 1 percent — but there’s still a lot we have to learn about the disease. And even when we better understand how deadly this virus is, it’s likely to look pretty different country to country.


That means, in many places, health authorities are only picking up a subset of the sick — and perhaps the most severe cases, given that roughly 80 percent of people with Covid-19 have a mild case. (Remember: The sickest are usually the ones who show up at doctor’s offices and hospitals, while there may be hundreds or thousands of others with the virus who never show symptoms or don’t bother going to see a doctor. That’s why the CFR can often look much worse in the early days of an outbreak.)

I actually want you to be right on this.

The problem is ...you're totally missing the point.

As medical science improves....no doctor wants to just say 'hey..let the old people die...no problem'. Lots of people are recovering..the challenge is stopping the spread.

The pandemic declaration is not about how lethal/ deadly the virus is. It is about how easily spread it is AND the corresponding potential overload of the medical system....worldwide needed to keep fatality rates low.

Americans have their peeps all over the world...in 'shithole' countries too. Its important that they don't overload poor little Grenada, Dominica etc al.

The thing that disturbs me the most...is your insistent, obsessive, brown nosing of DJT. The guy is a compulsive liar and you know it. He is in over his head. He looks at everything from a lens of 'money can fix' big business will miraculously solve all of America's problems..screw the rest of the world. Granted presidents do not have to be experts...they have to lean on technocrats ...but this guy is ignorant of his ignorance.

I know you love his anti Obama agenda ...afterall...you struggle with black people in leadership positions because of your Forebes Burham hardon....but you're a grown ass man now..apparently 'successful' according to your utterances here....get over it and be objective dammit.

Nobody wants anyone to die, im just looking at the totality of the situation. Yes its spreading and yes its dangerous. But its proving to be most fatal to those who are at most risk of dying from any other infection, UTI's and the like.

By your estimation the flu should be considered a pandemic every year.

Many have had the virus, recovered and not been tested. So they do not get factored into the numbers.

The numbers only reflect those who have been tested, treated and in the database.

The test is fairly new, we can get false positives and false negatives.

The sample size is still too small to get an accurate figure..yes or no?

Can we agree on that?

I am, the only country that has wide scale testing so far is SK.

But even they cannot test everyone who's had the virus and have no symptoms.

The true numbers will take time.

Maybe I'm just optimistic about the situation because I don't want to see it worsen.

My wife works in healthcare and sees it first hand I am not undermining the severity of the issue. I can understand how people can think we will end up like China but I dont think we will. Or hope we dont

Lots of things kill people
Not having a vaccine and the conversion rate to death


In the context of an emerging infectious disease with pandemic potential, assessing its efficiency at spreading between humans is critical, as is determining the associated risk for death from the disease. In particular, the type and intensity of public health interventions are often set as a function of these epidemiologic metrics. In the absence of vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 or antiviral drugs for the treatment of COVID-19, the implementation of handwashing and other hygiene-related interventions, as well as nonpharmaceutical interventions such as social distancing and movement restrictions (all of which are the basic strategies available to mitigate disease spread in the population), also generate considerable pressure on the global economy (2).

Yes the flu vaccine is worthless. Yes the flu is more dangerous than Covid 19. Covid19 may prove to be less deadly than the flu. We are operating on unknowns and what ifs. But the numbers dont lie.

Typical MAGA hat skuntry, you have been exposed so now you turn to deflection, xenophobia, emotional manipulation and when that does not work falling on the ground and crying like a little girl.

Nobody wants the US to fall, we all either live there or have family there. Our collective succeses literally depends on the strength of the US but those of us with a brain realize that having a barely functional idiot as the leader of the Free world places that Free world in grave danger.

While you are on about 64 persons is a lot less than those who died from the flu did you stop to use your brain??? ( Did I just ask a maggot about his brain?) Yes that thing you are supposed to use and THINK!!! If you did you would then realize that 64 multipled by 365 equals a little over 2300. So yes we are now at about the average daily totals for deaths in the US for flu but as someone said this is not the peak and it will only get worst.

And that projection is not based on wanting the US to fail, it's based on science, critical thinking and just plain common sense.

It's the same kind of brain power I can use to project that as this thing gets worst and I update the numbers you will continue to deflect from the fact that you were WRONG you will continue to use xenophobic language to describe those who challenge you the use of emotional manipulation will ratchet up and when all else fails you will fall on the ground and start rolling around like a 5 year old girl.

Interestingly enough while you do that here the grand wizard maggot leader dotard will be doing same thing on a national stage.

A study really needs to be done on the maggot crew it's as if you all share the same 5 cent brain.

It's not irrational it's dead on, many demonize DT and his handling of the virus.

Not enough tests.
Not enough PPE for healthcare workers.
Not enough hospital beds.

Posters on this MB would have you think that these issues are Americas alone and the cause is DT. They blame Americasn capitalism, fact is this is an issue in most countries where the virus is prevalent.

Italy basically has decided if you're over 80 you've lived too long..when does it move down to 75 or 70.

China has lied from day 1 now they have no cases, right. Twissy says China had it under control as of Feb.9th.

SK is the gold standard yet cases and deaths are spiking for them.

All that I'm saying is look at the numbers objectively. The nation and its leaders are doing a damn good job keeping the death toll to a min.

Yes i do believe the media and politicians have over reacted to the issue. People are losing their jobs and businesses due to this hysteria and senseless behavior.

Prime example of how the media is full of shit. They are calling the president and his administration racists and xenophobes for calling the virus Chinese. That's what they are focusing on and these same journalists used the very same term for months.

Does it do the public any good to focus on terminology. They have ulterior and its not the benefit of the public.

... the US is the “most prepared” nation (scoring 83.5), with the UK (77.9), the Netherlands (75.6), Australia (75.5) and Canada (75.3) behind it. Thailand and South Korea are the only countries outside of the West that rank in this category.

The (H1N1)pdm09 virus pamdemic during Obama's tenure lasted until August 2009.

Why does Trump Admin think they can control this thing by June?

All of 12,500 people died then. I suspect much more will die with this Chinese virus.

maj, this thread is a sad but important one.

In reply to nitro

Yes very sad, our lives will be permanent changed. Hopefully for the better.

I know working from home will be a bigger deal.

Cash money will be used alot less.

Supply chains will be removed from China and other diseased vulnerable regions including the US.

Social gatherings will be forever changed.

Hopefully life will be quieter.

I have had it with you and this reasonning.

our lives will be permanent changed


How do you know our lives will be permanently changed?

I know working from home will be a bigger deal. 


Working from home was already a big thing and was getting bigger.

Cash money will be used alot less. 


Again, this has been happening now for decades....yet am not sure how it is better necessarily.... cash money is a good thing to have in a crisis.

More money has been stolen from plastic than in cash...i guarantee you that!

Supply chains will be removed from China and other diseased vulnerable regions including the US. 


So where jou gonna move it?

Your entire thread was about how this is no different than the flu....now you gone to predicting how this will forever change things.

Businesses make decisions based on money....that will continue to be the case....nothing you stated above is new....not all jobs can be done from Home and not everyone can be productive from Home.

Plastic has been the main use of payments forever and am not sure what has happened so far to claim a change or need for change.

If this is your attempt to admit you were wrong, then you are adding insult to injury.

You are wrong.

Shaking hands will be looked at as taboo..many are restraining from that.

Sick employees will be allowed to work.

The trend of working from home was being frowned upon, especially if you wanted to move up the ladder.

Cash was king due to identity theft..not anymore.

Yes many countries will no longer rely on China for pharmaceuticals equipment. Just watch.



You dont know it all. Your opinions are not fact. Im talking in terms of deaths not life changing effects.

lol... I wont bother...again this is anecdotal stuff that you ar just throwing up for the sake of argument.

Do you work from Home? My wife been working from home for top player in a top Industry for well over a year now....They been moving more and more people to home, well above their initial plan of 250.

There are many issues that prevent that.....The nonsense you posted above is exactly that....Being at home remove the office Politics and allows the real good employees to shine.

Now if you move half and keep half...then the Office politics continue, but working from home actually helps remove the negatives that upsets how those who advance are chosen.

 
maj 2020-03-23 20:17:20

Nothing you said about your wife's work at home experience refutes my point about advancement in her company.

I said working from home will be a bigger thing..did i say it was not a thing..no I said it will expand.

Research suggests remote workers' chances for advancement may be lower than onsite workers, reports SHRM. A study of employees that work from home found that 50% of telecommuters don’t get promoted, despite productivity levels 13% above their onsite colleagues, SHRM said. The number of American workers telecommuting increased from 39% in 2012 to 43% in 2016, according to a 2017 Gallup report,

So what does that have to do with the change you are talking about? The very post shows that work from Home has been increasing. Your point was that this epidemic is the changing point.
Then you threw some anecdotal evidence out to claim people have'nt been working from home because they scared it will hurt their advancement.

So how is the epidemic going to change that?

 
Ayenmol 2020-03-23 20:35:50 

In reply to maj

no I said it will expand.


The very evidence you posted shows it has been increasing for 8 years!

Nothing you said about your wife's work at home experience refutes my point about advancement in her company.


Actually she is being asked to hold a managerial position....She serves as a mentor type now where persons having issues with the Computer programs and finding information go to her for help.

She does not get the reviews anymore that were necessary in the office....because she is exemplary...in the office, others would have noticed that and it would cause an issue.

 
Ayenmol 2020-03-23 20:51:54 

Let me posit this as well, any people who wanted to work from home want to do so because they WANT to avoid the office Politics....While those who are wanting to advance generally want to engage in such and are scared to lose what they feel is an advantage.

Am guessing, since advancement is not for everyone that this hardly is an overarching issue to businesses making the move.

My wife and i are top on that list. We do not care to get deeper into corporate life....that's why i left years ago...and as my business grows and she grows her own, we hope to be working for ourselves exclusively.

Which is one of the things that will grow exponentially and i mentioned before....as people are forced to shop online now, many more will be inclined to continue in the months ahead.

You are wrong.

You are trying to defend a Country of 300 million people against a few people who have ulterior motives in making accusations.

But hardly anyone wants to see people die in such disasters....it's your own prejudice that clouds your judgement.

Besides everyone is dealing with the same issues.

You literally said you hoped Caribbean people die in greater quantity than Americans....so you are literally the only person hoping for others to die.

Everyone just understands that a Country of 300 mil people are going to have many people lost to a pandemic.

Add to that, after falling behind, then making the right decision...your boy wants to prematurely end the serious steps that has been taken to protect Americans.

Dont say because of the social distancing and quarantine orders the numbers will be less. Because those same measure will also lessen the severity of the flu.

I know that is what bothering you so much.

When you claim you are a genius and you are responsible for something most people understand you are not, then people will rejoice when you get pie in your face.

Second, The market is not the economy. Get that through your head.

Third....people with 401k are hurt when the market drops....and some lose the value of their stocks...yes... But this is being driven by people pulling their money OUT because of uncertainty to ensure they DON't lose the value they accumulated.

The people who lost are posers who bought in to the hype of increasing stock value. I.E those who come in late and buy at high prices that were inflated from other buyers to make a quick buck.

They gambled and probably lost if they did not pull out before numbers dropped below their buy in.

You on the other hand bought in to Trump claiming he is responsible for Stock market as this is the only positive thing you could claim from his Presidency, now it gone and you want to take issue with people pointing out the truth.

Of course we all know Chrissy is bias and loves to gloat when the inevitable happens. But this is about you dude.

You cant fault people for laughing at a gambler who loses big because he bet against something that was bound to fail.

I am help you out here, just because you use 1300 now does not mean you won't need 30000 in a week.

The virus has been doubling it's numbers in half the time it takes it to hit a mark and that is why people where able to predict we would go from 200 last week to over 1200 this week.

This virus is working almost like a program.

32 days to get to 100

16 days to get to 200

8 days to get to 400

4 days to get to 800

2 days to get to 1600.

The above is America's future, in a week they will be at 5000 and in 2 weeks they will be at 20000.

This is science and you can't bully science and call it cute little names ( well you can : see Chinese virus) to make it go away.

It's now 2 weeks since this thread was started to congratulate Trump on his job of keeping deaths down to 41.


It's been 1 week since the starter of this thread laughed a the thought that we would be at 1200 in a week.


The count is now over 1500 and will mostly likely top 2000 by close of play tomorrow.


This thread will be screenshot and written about for along time, I think it because a case study in finding the cure for Trumpism.


PS the US will not be back up by Easter.

The daily US death rate continues to climb. The world's largest economy is faring no better than other countries - large or small - despite having the benefit of the experience of several other countries. We prefer to beat our chests and declare how great we are, and how great our leader is.

There you go talking shit, who congratulated Trump.

You want to blank Trump for the happenings.

But refuse to place blame idiots like Diblasio for sake of identity politics called people racists for not going out to get infected.

I started this thread to showcase the idiots who killing the Trump administration for not having enough tests ready. And to show America's healthcare will outdo those countries with socialized healthcare.

I still firmly believe the US will handle the pandemic better than most. With a population of 330 million.

Today China, Italy, Spain, France and Iran have more deaths than the US. With only China having a bigger population.

Since 2003, 16 hospitals have closed around New York City, four in Brooklyn alone, putting more and more pressure on the remaining hospitals to see more patients under more crowded and facility-challenged conditions. For families living in poor neighborhoods, more hospital closings have put greater pressure on the surviving facilities, and they have also stretched the distances people have to travel to receive care.


Blame this on Trump too.

Andrew Cuomo vetoed a bill that would have increased the reimbursements to hospitals that provide a disproportionate share of care to Medicaid patients as well as uninsured patients. The bill, despite being supported by both legislative houses in Albany, would result in “increased and unbudgeted costs to the Medicaid program,” the governor wrote explaining the veto. The governor said any changes to the reimbursement system should be done through the state’s budgetary process.

You can try to blame as many people for the abject failure and spectacular incompetence of the Dotard, but he’s the president and he’s the one who is responsible for this fcuk up.

It was the reliance of Medicare and Medicaid that killed these hospitals. Low reimbursement rates.

If you continue to pay less for services this is what happens. Refusal to pay on scale as private insurance companies. In poor neighborhoods Medicaid is prevalent.

You still have to pay healthcare professionals a competitive wage or else they leave.

One day, it’s like a miracle, it will disappear
When you have 15 people
and within a couple of days it’s going to be down to close to zero
We really think we’ve done a great job in keeping it down to a minimum
I like this stuff. I really get it
People are surprised that I understand it
No, I don’t take responsibility at all

Don’t forget that the Dotard eliminated the pandemic response centre set up by Obama.

Had that organization still been in place Murica could have been ahead of everyone else in containing the virus.

Remember that Murica and South Korea both had their first case at about the same time. But look at how South Korea responded versus how the United States of Dotardstan responsed and where they are today in flattening their respective curves.

All of the Dotard’s lies thus far...

My favourite:

When: Thursday, February 27
The claim: The outbreak would be temporary: “It’s going to disappear. One day it’s like a miracle—it will disappear.”
The truth: Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, warned days later that he was concerned that “as the next week or two or three go by, we’re going to see a lot more community-related cases.”

Maj started this thread to show that in USA Covid-19 cases were few and deaths were rare. Over two weeks the thread is now showing the opposite. The USA is now the country with the most cases.

The thread is now showing states with diverse and immigrant populations are being disproportionately impacted and Maj is celebrating. I am not sure why because he claims to be an immigrant.

I will bet that over the next 3-4 months that position is going to be reversed and states with less diversity will take the lead, since the virus does not respect nationalities, borders or prejudices. There is already some evidence of this but in the absence of testing pretense is king.

Does anyone here know Maj, Nitro, Ridge, BeatDball or any of these so called Trumpists? Is it not strange that none of them are know by any posters known to most of us? Could any or all of these Trumpists be Russian bots?

Not really amazing. When a president is in trouble, apathetic supporters may be roused. The question(s) is (are) for how long and how many are they. If his approval goes above 48% those are solid numbers which cannot be easily discounted. Less than 47% is unreliable.

More facts on how NY became the epicenter

Below are quotes from NYC's Health commisioner

We are encouraging New Yorkers to go about their everyday lives and suggest practicing everyday precautions that we do through the flu season,” Barbot said on January 26th. She even added that those “who had recently traveled from Wuhan were not being urged to self-quarantine or avoid large public gatherings.”

On February 2nd, she urged the same lack of caution: “The risk to New Yorkers for Coronavirus is low, and our preparedness as a city is very high. There is no reason not to take the subway, not to take the bus, not to go out to your favorite restaurant, and certainly not to miss the parade next Sunday.”

Early testing would have put a stop to that.

The Federal government should have been coordinating the logistical support and provide early test kits.

If you listen to the press conferences of the Governors, they will all tell you how they are having to compete against other States for supplies and in some cases, against the Federal government.

Hey vajjie boy. This clusterfcuk is the Dotard’s responsibility.

He’s the one your dumb ass self voted to be president and it’s his responsibility to protect and safeguard the country.

Of course all he ever cares about is the stock market. He doesn’t give two shits about you or anyone else in Murica other than his immediate family.

And you know what? Tens of thousands are willing to follow him to their graves instead of holding him accountable for his abject failure and gross incompetence in his handling of this covid19 situation. Murica - a nation of Dotards and retards.

UK 1,019

It seems that no other country's going to break into this top ten for now. The same 10 countries appear at the top of the death toll every day.

No such thing as too few deaths.

We are not seeing the exponential explosion of deaths in other regions.

You don't get it.
Nobody wants Trump to fail. It is his general attitude about the whole crisis that has people baffled.
Trump is not helping himself when he always seems to be taking over the press conferences rather than leaving the podium to the experts.
He puts both feet in his mouth when he arbitrarily throw out promises that has no merit only to walk them back time and again.

We want Trump to keep his mouth shut, especially on things he knows nothing about and sound Presidential about things that he does.
We want Trump to be Proactive rather than Reactive.
We want Trump to Manage the Crisis based on information from the experts.
We want Trump to make it less about himself and more about others.
We want Trump to show empathy.
We want Trump to be less belligerent towards the media and the Governors who are trying to keep their heads and Cities above water.
We want Trump to stop blaming others for everything that has gone wrong.
We want Trump to assure the American people by ALWAYS telling the TRUTH during the crisis. Other than that
We want Trump to succeed, yes succeed because at the end of the day it is all about a nation in peril and everyone matters.

Due to delayed and incomplete reporting from New York State, we had to make adjustments to yesterday's totals in order to maintain the correct attribution of historical figures. US figures for Sunday, March 29 could still be incomplete.

13199 new cases and 287 new deaths in the United States



March 29 (GMT)

19913 new cases and 363 new deaths in the United States

Among the deaths: a 42-year-old woman in Arkansas with no pre-existing health condition (and who had never been hospitalized before, according to her sister) who felt "a little sick" on March 15 and thought it to be a cold or a sinus infection. After developing shortness of breath and cough that wouldn't go away, she was admitted to the hospital on March 24 and tested positive to Covid-19. She was put on a ventilator in ICU and, after 4 days (on Saturday, March 2cool, she died. [source]

Trump extends federal social distancing guidelines for an additional 30 days, up to April 30 [source]

West Virginia had retracted its report of 1 death in the state. We have updated our data accordingly [source]

How could I be lying if the numbers posted were incorrectly reported. Let it be known..you're an ass.

March 30 (GMT)
Due to delayed and incomplete reporting from New York State, we had to make adjustments to yesterday's totals in order to maintain the correct attribution of historical figures. US figures for Sunday, March 29 could still be incomplete.

So any updates? I see the death toll up to 3400 and the infected is broaching 200000 in the Us....

I see the number of dead, having been sub 300 for weeks has ballooned to over 1300 in the last week in the UK .... Mexico joining the fray, i think some had talked about the lack of cases, as if just because they had not begun to be affected they somehow never would....

Meanwhile Dominican Republic seems to be pandemic central in the Caribbean....Puerto Rico catching up....two countries that also love to hug and kiss and are family oriented.

Guadeloupe and Martinique, same....over a hundred cases.... 4 dead in Guadeloupe so far. So the Caribbean feeling the effects.

Jamaica has been stellar....not sure why but the numbers have been almost negligible for it's size and the amount of tourist that it handles.

Dont think most recovered. They just in hospital being treated as confirmed cases like in other countries. What China did amazingly is to lock down the Wuhan province and contain the spread within Wuhan and from infiltrating other parts of China in a major way.

 
Halliwell 2020-03-31 18:31:33 

In reply to problemjay

Added to that the Covid-19 story began first there, and is obviously further down the road of the epidemic than most countries. Scientists agree that the recovered cases will increase over time and so the final case fatality rate will be lower than we see now. Most countries affected will experience this phenomena in 8-12 weeks.

Only foolish governments are unwilling to learn from the experience of epidemic 1
Instead, we have these ignorant arguments about who lying and who covering up!!!

BINGO! That is all I am trying to figure out.

Deaths due to a disease just do not stop on a dime. Even if it slows down, there are no reported deaths or no increase in that number for at least a month?. I find that hard to believe.

I leave the conspiracy theories to Honeywell.

Scar 2020-04-01 03:30:51 

Wuhan population 11 Million. Deaths reported after the 33 year old doctor exposed people had already been dying prior is the current China government reported total. Deaths prior to January unknown. When the virus outbreak began is not yet known It will reveal itself after this wave currently abates and the time period from start to finish is recorded.

Governments hiding numbers is nothing new. Numbers to this day the true count of Smallpox deadliness does not even estimate the deaths of other than whites in the US. Of course the Spanish in South America had an excuse - they had no way to count but did say the locals were dropping like dead flies and cockroaches too many to count.

So with a secretive and locked in nation like China take that 3000 plus number out of 11 million pop in a place locked down 2 plus months after the outbreak with a grain of salt

Dr. Fauchi

“Just to underscore what Dr. Birx was saying, if there was no virus in the background, there was nothing to mitigate,” Fauci said. “If there was virus there that we didn’t know about, then the answer to your question is probably yes. Now the only trouble with that is that whenever you come out and say something like that, it always becomes almost a sound bite that gets taken out of context, but I think that’s very important, what Dr. Birxs has said, is that if there was covert infections here that we didn’t know about, and we didn’t mitigate them, that they would’ve made a difference. If there was virtually nothing there, then there’s nothing to mitigate. And I don’t know the answer to your question.”

Very informative, thanks for that.

As we know the UK has a problem with under reporting. Their death figures only include those who died in hospital. Those who died in care homes and at home are not included.

It's only now that journalists are finally starting to summon up the guts to question the UK official figures that they've finally started to include deaths outside of hospital.

So, if the UK is under reporting who am I to level similar accusations against China?

Even though the virus came from China and Chinese travelers brought the disease all over the world. Would you vacation in China right now? You dont think people are avoiding Italian restaurants now.

The propaganda that Maj and the other idiot Trumpists are spreading is being stage-crafted. These clowns are well scripted with daily talking points.

It was during this lull — before the human and economic toll became undeniable — when the story of the coronavirus among the president’s most stalwart defenders evolved into the kind of us-versus-them clash that Trump has waged for much of his life.

Now, with the nation’s economic and physical health in clear peril, Trump and many of his allies on the airwaves and online are blaming familiar enemies in the Democratic Party and the news media.

The pervasiveness of the denial among many of Trump’s followers from early in the outbreak, and their sharp pivot to finding fault with an old foe once the crisis deepened, is a pattern that one expert in the spread of misinformation said resembled a textbook propaganda campaign.

Big deal! The Spanish Flu that killed off 50-100 million in 1919-20 didn't originate in Spain. The first case reportedly came from Kansas...but it wasn't called the American virus, was it? And what action was taken to sue the US for this horrendous disease? Hmmm....

The official death toll to date....

1) Italy 13,915
2) Spain 10,348
3) USA 6,095
4) France 5,387
5) China 3,322
6) Iran 3,160

The character of this virus is like nothing ever seen by scientists. The way it mutates, it has the ability to act in stealth mode and it affects every organ of the body.

Studies carried out by the University of Valencia and the regional Foundation for Health and Biomedical Investigation, which resulted in the first sequences of the SARS-CoV2 virus obtained in Spain, have concluded that the coronavirus in Spain has mutated from the original outbreak in Wuhan.

 
Courtesy 2020-04-03 14:05:12 

For those of us who have eyes to read and discern bull from bullock.

"The genome of the virus is constantly mutating and it is precisely this that allows us to follow its trajectory across different countries and transmission chains. The patients in isolation in Valencia have displayed various mutations of the original virus sequenced in Wuhan. But that is normal: almost all of the viruses sequenced to date have presented some differences to the first. The most in one case, isolated in Brazil, has 16 mutations."

Doctor Giuseppe Remuzzi, director of the Mario Negri Pharmacology Institute in Milan, became a superstar in China. Remuzzi talks about his explosive findings in conversations with general practitioners in Lombardy.

“Do you know what happened? Certain family doctors, who have the best antennas in the territory, at least the most able and attentive ones, have told me recently that they were seeing grave cases of pneumonia, which we had never seen in other years.

These pneumonia cases had nothing to do with typical flu pneumonia, they were interstitial pneumonias, they had to do CT, radiography [to diagnose it], and this was seen in October, November, December. So this virus has been circulating a long time.”

That was indeed in parallel with or even before the first coronavirus cases in Wuhan in mid-November. It’s been already scientifically established that the virus strains in Wuhan and in Lombardy are different. Which came first, and where from, remains a matter of incendiary debate.


Idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIPs) are part of a broad, heterogeneous group of interstitial lung diseases that encompasses more than 200 acute or chronic diseases with varying degrees of inflammation or fibrosis.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), is a fatal disease with a poor prognosis, and the therapeutic options are limited.

Within weeks, Gov. Gavin Newsom issued the first statewide mandatory restrictionsin the United States, ordering California's nearly 40 million residents to stay home to help combat the outbreak.

California and New York -- the nation's hardest hit state -- had about the same number of coronavirus cases in the first week of March, according to Covid Tracking Project.

By Friday, California had 11,889 cases compared to nearly 10 times that in New York, or 102,985 cases. The Golden State has 264 deaths to New York's 2,935

Time and improved processes will ultimately reduce the factor from 158 to a much lower number.

However, if we are to assume nothing much would be done to slow the rate, and we also assume approx. 25% daily compounded rate increase, I think we should expect the 7400 death count to rise to approx 27,000 dead (total) in 7 days time. And that is being conservative. So, expect the death rate to more than triple in 7 days time.

years now your American analysts have been suggesting what you said but its easier said than done! Big american companies see more profit having their products made in China.

Secondly and most important, China has the biggest market in the world due to a continued growing middle class population. As their country become more wealthy their population size is huge and their middle class is huge so more European and American companies will want to invest and do work in China.

and we must not forget China's belt and road initiative. Because when that is completed is more pressure on American govt and more hate from the US of A

Big companies can still profit from having products made in China but big companies can still set up shop in America AND China. That is the plan! All America has to do is shift the budget to accommodate paying workers in the US. It's an essential move critical to the survival of America.

Even though China has the biggest market in the world, their biggest customer is the US. They need our big $$$ to remain highly profitable. The US ultimately doesn't need China. We can effectively set up overseas shop in other highly industrial countries at comparable costs and still generate substantial profits. Both China and the US know this. Just because you are the biggest doesn't necessarily mean you are the best option.

Have the dynamics for why America shifted most if not all of its manufacturing to Asian countries changed? If that has not changed then how are these jobs going to come back. These greedy American corporations did not want to pay workers decent wages and so they shifted the manufacturing to low wage economies. The American economy also moved from manufacturing base to an investment base where share price and shareholder returns became king. So none of that dynamic has changed and may have gotten worse, as you see people watching the stock Market as a driver of economic growth, not realizing it's only the top 1% benefiting from that model. So maximization of profits, pay no taxes, hide your money offshore and you think those jobs are coming back? shock

Yes the deaths are staggering, this is virus seems to have intelligence. I'm not one who believes in conspiracy theories but I believe this virus has been bioengineered. And IMO, this was the Christmas present NK promised.

You have to wonder if some people really do have a brain and using it in this current climate of a pandemic...and you have to wonder
why so many are dying so fast in USA.
Just now I went to pick up my wife from an overnite care giving stint with a Jewish lady.
My wife was mad as heel...WHY ?
A niece from New Jersey is visiting her aunt(Wife's sister) in Philly and they want to come and visit.////
The niece has never visited this home of over 30 years and this is the time she wants to visit.%%%$$##

Never seen the wife so mad except with me. She went ballistic as she tore into her sister on the cell phone.
New Jersey has lock down, for heavens sake and vehicles entering and leaving Philly are being checked by the plates and same if
a PA vehicle enters NJ which means 14 days quarantine.

You really have to wonder..
USA deaths are nearing 15K and New Jersey is second most to NY State.. and Philly is being looked at as a mounting problem now.
And to think I am in the vulnerable age group.

God help us.

The world yard was previously in terrible shape. The US will soon reverse those numbers.

Speaking in Geneva via videoconference on Tuesday, ILO Director-General Guy Ryder noted that at the start of the year – before COVID-19 spread worldwide - global unemployment already stood at around 190 million.


According to the agency, the latest dire assessment reflects the full or partial lockdown measures affecting almost 2.7 billion workers

Stop blaming others for Trump's ineptitude.
Even with everything you said here he still had a chance to redeem himself by showing leadership.

The death rate seems to have slowed a tiny bit in the USA and Italy, but quite a bit in Spain and France. The UK is rocketing along and Iran has been steady. Germany is also doing worse now than before.

Russia has seen a sudden sharp rise, as the country finally starts to warm up. It is troubling that areas in Russia along the border with China have been sources of re-infection in China.

India is managing its lockdown really well, thankfully.

Brazil is also seeing a steady rise, including in the Amazon jungle, where followers of the ultra-right government have been clear cutting Amazon forest at a rate 50 percent above normal. The virus has been a serious issue in the State of Roraima, Guyana's southern neighbor, from which thousands of Brazilians travel back and forth.

Well many African countries have Ebola protocols they can use. Then there is the lack of testing capability, India seems to be hiding some stuff. So it's probably a little of everything you mentioned- getting right and not peaked yet.

The US hasn't been doing a lot of government isolation, quarantine and contact tracing. Not sure if that has to do with the Constitution, the culture,size or the federal nature of it all.

Some developing countries such as in the English speaking Caribbean and Cuba are doing government quarantine/isolation and contact tracing. Without contact tracing the spread continues to expand.

No such thing. Health care is mostly private, with the counties providing for those who cannot afford private hospitals. The private health care system has huge problems, such as cost and being able to refuse health care to anyone, except in life or death emergencies.

After this virus crisis is over there will be a huge fight between hospitals and governments, between hospitals and patients, and between hospitals and medical supplies companies, over reimbursement for treating covid-19 patients.

The US government will write another huge check to bail out yet another capitalist institution, using taxpayers' money and behaving as if it is theirs.

Call it whatever you want. The point is that there is no US healthcare system. The US does not fund hospitals and cannot tell them how to run their business. Thus, stating in any form that the US healthcare system is failing cannot be true. The US government would respond by stating that it does not run the hospitals.

Healthcare is not a commodity and the American experiment with HC under a for profit model is failing and has failed for a long time. Even Obamacare is not really healthcare per se as its merely provision of health insurance which in turn buys you a level of care. There is still a profit motive at it roots where insurance companies look at you with suspicion as a walking talking revenue model to be disposed of if the costs outweigh the premiums. And the Repugnants did not help in the crafting of this legislation.

So it is Trump's fault we have this global pandemic?

The global economy has been ruined by this Chinese virus.

Some on here cursed Trump when he banned Chinese from entering the USA yet are now gloating at the death of Americans, mostly blacks may i add.

Yet they call Trump an evil man.

Heard on the news yesterday that immigrants and blacks make up the majority of deaths in New York.
Is this fake news?

Probably not.

I know some Guyanese have been taking cynical pride in defying lock-down orders, by opening rumshops, throwing parties, etc. Down the street from me, about 2 houses away, the Mexican family (one of two on the block) threw a huge party about a week ago. Every other family has been faithfully complying with the lock-down.

If I had to bet, I would agree that plenty of immigrants have been dying of covid-19, and many of them brought it on themselves and their families. Good governance has not been a forte of many immigrants.

Instead of debating lockdowns this should be America's biggest concern.

30 million Americans have no health Insurance

120 million Americans have a large deductible

20 million Illegals with no insurance

Think: How many of the above will seek medical tests?

So out of a population of 350 Million Americans, we have a question about 170 million That will not be tested and carrying the virus.

No vaccine nor cure in sight for at least a year.Some patients who have recovered are now testing positive .

When Scientist speak of the rebound this is what concerns them.This is when the killing fields will occur.

Sweden nearly 15,000 cases, 10% deaths. The infection curve is sharply upward after a slow start. Are you looking at old data or referencing NineTenJack without checking?

Fatality rates typically divide cov19 deaths by number of confirmed cases (denominator). If number of actual infections is waaay more than confirmed..then the denominator increases hence much smaller fatality rate.

Yes, sir but that is not what I was getting at. How can the death rate automatically mean that there are more cases than being counted? I don't think it's that simple.

In the case of the old people they may not be catching that is the plausible answer. Ontario only just started finding out about all the infected people in care homes, as well as they care givers.

Expect a lot more death in Ontario...the lion share of which will be in the care homes. Already a few emptying out to the count of 25-30+ each and more to come.

Depends on who you are testing. Ontario discovered late in the game that they should have been mainly counting the care homes. Sweden looks like they haven't started yet. It was already admitted that the elderly are not getting much attention.

Belgium testing at twice the rate, but look what's going on there (15% death rate). Italy at 3 times the rate with the testing.

France and Sweden on par with the testing. I don't know about there, but it's not so simple to just get a test here.

Not sure how long before people in Canada get restless about being locked away when it's mostly the elderly and those in care homes 'they see' dying.

big grin

What you have described is what is called a crude rate. Their value is sometims limited, particularly when comparing two populations with different age structures. In this situation it is essential to adjust the data to take into account those differences. This is referred to as age standardisation which can yield vastly differet results. Age Standardisation can further be broken down into direct and indirect standaristion.

Indirect requires a calculation of Standard Mortality Rate (SMR).

Direct requires a calculation of age specific death rates.

How I miss poster Josh in these tmes. We would have had a lenghty discussion on methodology here big grin Josh where are you?

The point being made is, the crude death rate as you have highlighetd above in relation to this current disease (Covid-19) is not reliable as it affects different age cohorts vastly differently. And this is important in policy formulation.

The accuracy of these calculations are of course affected by diagnostic accurcy, incomplete identification of cases and the recording system. All of these have been alluded to in some way in this thread.

From Worldometer site

New York State Governor Cuomo said that preliminary findings from an antibody study conducted on 3,000 people at grocery stores across New York State found a 13.9% had coronavirus antibodies, suggesting a 13.9% actual infection rate statewide (21.2% in New York City), which translates to an estimate of about 2,700,000 actual cases in New York State (10 times more than the about 270,000 cases that have been detected and reported officially). Governor Cuomo acknowledged that the official count reported by New York State (which still is not including probable deaths as recommended by the new CDC guidelines) of about 15,500 deaths is "not accurate" as it doesn't account for stay at home deaths. Based on Worldometer's count (which includes probable deaths reported by New York City) of about 21,000 deaths and the 2,700,000 case estimate from the new antibody study, the actual case fatality rate in New York State could be at around 0.78% [source]

Chaos in Brazil (4286) and Mexico (1351), two countries that ignored the seriousness of the virus and did not enforce lock-downs. The presidents of Brazil and Mexico basically laughed at the virus. In Mexico, people are physically attacking nurses and doctors in the streets!

The decision of Sweden (2194) to not enforce the lock-down is starting to look bad now, despite talk of achieving "herd immunity". This looks even worse when compared to Sweden's neighbors: Denmark (422), Norway (201) and Finland (190). Sweden has 217 deaths per million, Denmark 73 per million, Norway 37 per million and Finland 34.

And, the US? Still going strong, with 55,413.

 
JahJah 2020-04-27 03:42:37

I'm pretty sure they expected death not enforcing a full lock down, due to the fact they figured it would not overwhelm their healthcare system, and it seems it didn't. Perhaps because over 50% of the deaths may have been in care homes.

It will be interesting to see who the second wave they keep talking about takes the heaviest toll on.

Mexico and Brazil currently have 10 and 20 deaths per million, respectively. That's lower than USA (167) and Canada {68} who are locked down...and USA apparently isn't counting all deaths so their death rate like the UK's should be higher if that's the case.

I would think so too. Let's hope their approach turns out to be no worse than their neighbors' in the long term. At this point tho, their neighbors seem to be faring much better.

The trouble with the Brazil and Mexico numbers is they are far worse than their neighbors', and much worse than those of countries with similar climates.

USA apparently isn't counting all deaths

Lots of problems with the US numbers. We are apparently not counting the "unconfirmed" cases - those who were not tested, even if their symptoms indicate that they died of the virus.

But is it too simplistic to look at your neighbours without taking into account certain differences between the countries? I can tell you that Norway and Denmark have a much lower immigrant and refugee (they really don't want them) population than Sweden...by far, and they seem to be the ones getting hit the hardest, especially the Somalis.

Sweden would have had much higher numbers regardless. The fact is, many were expecting Italy like death numbers per million by now. Check Belgium's number per million.

Both USA and Canada are both locked down, and you can see the big difference in deaths.

Folks, once the virus gets to clusters (communities) it will spread. The further apart these communities are in any given country the slower the spread of infection.

Countries which are sparsely populated and have many small clusters also will see a much slower spread of the disease.

But make no mistake about it, when the diasease gets to these seemingly unaffected clusters, it will spread rapidly if phsysical distancing is not implemented.

The key is to have a Rate of Transmission (RT) to below 1 thus preventing the collapse of health infrastructure as happened in Italy.

In reply to JahJah

The point being made is that without sufficient antibody testing there is no way to get an accurate picture of what happening in any country. Herd immunity only becomes important when 70-80 percent of the population (RO 1) has been affected with the disease.

Sweden's eemingly lower rate of infection could be an aberration. They could very well be lagging behind as a result aof their sparse and isolted communities.

Btw, only 19 percent of New York's population has been infected with Covid-19 which require tx. There is currently random testing for antibodies which started yesterday...the results will show the extent of spread.

...Sweden has tested a whole lot less. There could be very well a lot more infections.

Well, this is my point. We can only speculate at this point in time, unless we get the antibody numbers. The number of hospitalisations or death rate will not cut a true picture because of the high levels of asymptomaticity.

You mentioned a slower spread earlier. Doesn't this help in preventing the overwhelming of a heath care system? There is no vaccine yet, but so many places are going to start opening up again with this virus still dancing around.

PS: Gotland has about 60,000 people, and as far as I know they locked that island quite a while ago. Many from the mainland have cottages there, and cannot get to them now. Again, as far as I know.

No clue. Some say it's going as expected although they neglected the care homes, and then there are those who were worrying. So many were expecting Italy, Spain, Belgium rates. That didn't pan out so far, so it seems they are moving to a different line of argument.

I'm guessing Belgium is more worried, with being locked down and people still dying off plenty. But even that I can't say for sure.

If you don't fully lock down then surely you must expect a good amount of illness and death. That goes without saying. I presume it then becomes a matter of whether your system gets overwhelmed...like it previously was in NYC. Up until now they said capacity in the healthcare system is increasing.

Is Mexico spiralling out of control? They don't seem to be testing much though.

Yes, that has been crazy. Perhaps it has to do with Belgium being small and densely populated. Nevertheless, Belgium has been going and going. Portugal too seems to be having a similar experience. Luxemburg, however, seems to be doing better.

Mexico, Brazil and Belarus have taken a path somewhat similar to Sweden, but without Sweden's appeal to its citizens for self-imposed caution. Brazil, Mexico and Sweden are having the results expected from not enforcing a lock-down, to varying degrees, but Belarus seems to be "getting away with murder". The sports leagues, stadiums and businesses never shut down, and they seem to be none the worse.

I am paying attention to Canada


Canada seemed to be "holding strain" for quite a while, until more recently, when it seemed to be drifting toward overload.

watch international travel start again


We won't have long to wait to see which way this goes. My take is that a few countries or US states will become reservoirs for the virus, which will lead to frequent outbreaks, avoidance of those locations and lock-downs inside of them. China currently has a similar situation along its border with Russia, which is now acting as a reservoir.

That's why Brazil and Mexico worry me so much. Brazil will keep South America, including Guyana (and the Caricom states it interacts with) infected, while Mexico will keep California infected. Elsewhere, some country or the other will become reservoirs to keep their neighbors infected.

It is true that the world would be much better prepared for future outbreaks, but this thing isn't over yet - not for a couple of yers or more.

Yes, Canada was holding steady for a while then had it's biggest day of death a couple days ago. It was a pretty big jump. They claimed we are still in the peak but about to come down. Ok then...

This UK lockdown is a joke! Once you land at Heathrow, there's no govt quarantine, like there is in NZ, and there will be in Jamaica when the ship workers return home this week. Instead, you pack into a flight with no social distancing, queue at Heathrow with no social distancing, go through immigration without any health or temperature checks, and then you hop on the tube, congregating with everyone else on the tube, and carry potential infections to those who're self-isolating.

Yesterday all day they reported a further 3000 in care homes that take the total to 32,000 plus. But the presser and the reports since last evening are 29,000 plus with Nuff dress back about ‘not good to compare countries’ , ‘deaths per million’ and some other foolishness to cook the numbers.

Every dam day they showing the chart with all the countries because they was under, now they are top it not comparable big grin

True.

The UK 30,000+ deaths and second place worldwide, is testimony to their ridiculous handling of this pandemic, but they are masters of spinning a story and deceiving.

 
Norm 2020-05-10 02:23:34 

US (80,037) should be galloping past 100,000 by next weekend, and past 120,000 by the end of the month, assuming there is no second wave from reckless re-opening. No lock-downers Brazil (10,656) should be closing in on second place UK (currently at 31,587) by the end of May. Mexico, another no-lockdowner, should be in the middle of Top 10 by the end of the month too.

Europe's most prominent no-lockdowner Sweden (3,220) seem to be keeping it together, but they are not out of the woods yet. You would think that they would be testing extensively to determine if their "herd immunity" approach is working, but there has been no news about that.

Yes, locking the stable door after the horse has bolted. Personally, I think all countries around the world should be quarantining Brits whenever they arrive in their respective countries, because no contact tracing is taking place in the community yet. So, you have a lot of Brits walking around who probably don't know whether they have coronavirus or not. Even the 14-day quarantine at Heathrow is half-arsed...travellers from France are exempt. Can you see the logic in that exemption?

The UK deaths are massively understated, according to the OFfice of National Statistics, probably by as much as 25%. The UK figure only counts those who have actually been tested for coronavirus. In contrast, the ONS figure counts those who have coronavirus on the death certificate.

As a result, the ONS figure for England and Wales alone (not Scotland and Northern Ireland) up until May 8 is over 39,000...this was just announced by the head of ONS on BBC1 domestic TV. Apparently, for whole of the UK, that figure is 41,020 up to May 8.

USA's daily death total continues to drop.

Some reprieve for exhausted medical workers. Watch the political scene heat up quickly now, tho. One side will soon be boasting how they beat the model predictions, while hastily re-opening and encouraging a reckless attitude to the danger.

Inevitably, there will continue to be serious outbreaks in the US where reckless behavior prevails, with some possibility of even worse variants of the virus emerging. Meanwhile, Brazil is doing its best to make this virus remain a threat to the world for as long as possible, with Mexico lending great assistance.

We also have the "Investigate China" and "China must pay" dramas to look forward to, as well as "Let's profit big from a covid-19 vaccine".

For example = 213 total counties impacted
(1) Recovered + no active cases = 21

2) Brazil 87,052
3) UK 45,752
4) Mexico 43,680
5) Italy 35,107

150,676 deaths in USA


The United States on Wednesday surpassed 150,000 recorded Covid-19 deaths -- a milestone that comes as the country's number of daily coronavirus deaths is the highest it's been since the spring.

The first death in the US was reported on February 29. The country reached 50,000 deaths 54 days later on April 23, and 34 days later, on May 27, crossed 100,000 deaths. It has taken 63 days to add another 50,000 to reach the 150,000 mark.
The country's coronavirus death toll was 150,676 as of Wednesday evening -- more than a fifth of the world's recorded deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University.

Mexico's first coronavirus death is a 41-year-old man who earlier this month went to a concert by Swedish rock band Ghost in Mexico City. According to reports published in multiple media outlets, including the BBC and Mexico’s El Universal, the man went to the concert at Mexico City’s Palacio de los Deportes on March 3, along with over 50,000 other fans.

But I see the UK averaging about 1K new cases per day, so there's still some way to go. The story on this thing isn't done by a long shot. The UK can end up like some of the others and start to rise again...unless you plan to be locked up until 2021

cool
Since you're stalking me again, let me inform you that I only do an update once a week, or thereabouts. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland only count those who die within 28 days of doing a coronavirus test in their death toll, so England decided to retroactively take that approach too, in order to wipe 5k+ off their death toll. I trust that met your approval....

Our Birmingham friend was diagnosed with coronavirus, but died at home without a test. She's omitted from Boris Johnson's dodgy figures. You get a much more accurate tally of deaths by looking at the country's excess deaths figure. I'll leave it to you to find out what Britain's excess deaths figure is for this period.

But let's play along with the top ten countries, and their attempts to understate their official death tolls to date....

1) USA - 169,131
2) Brazil - 104,263
3) Mexico - 54.666
4) India - 47,149
5) UK - 41,329
6) Italy - 35,225
7) France - 30,371
cool Spain - 28,579
9) Peru - 21,713
10) Iran - 18,988

Since last week, the US, India and Brazil have about 10k deaths or more, Mexico have over 5k deaths, and Peru and Iran about 2k. Spain, Italy and France have less than 500 deaths, but only the UK have been able to reduce their death toll by 5k...truly astounding!

I'm so so sorry Mikey, didn't realise you are such a vulnerable man. You really should avoid social forums where differing views are expressed if you feel that way.
You should also report me to Admin if you're feeling threatened! razz

This is about you and your hatred of the UK. You have nothing positive to say about the country of your birth and where you continue to live.
As I have always said about you, you are no different from the racists you always complain about. You share the same mentality on race!

Now back to the serious topic.
Yes, the UK have changed the methodology of counting covid deaths. In the past, if a person tested positive for coronovirus, recovered and then later died in a road traffic accident, it was counted as a Covid death. That is just absolute nonsense! Read more about the rationale behind the change in counting UK covid deaths.

In any case Mexico and India had already overtaken the UK before this change.

Now Mikey, how can you be 100% certain that the method of counting covid deaths in other countries are better than in the UK? There are anecdotal evidence that figures in India, Russia and many other countries are grossly under reported.

This UK Tory government have a lot to answer for about how they mishandled the pandemic right from the start. I was saying to work colleagues that the lockdown should have been imposed two weeks before it actually came into effect. That decision alone to delay the lockdown has caused about 10k deaths in my opinion.

They are now getting to grips with the situation and it has become a balance between reviving the economy and jobs while keeping people safe. There is no convincing you though, cos you will continue to find negatives everywhere!

Anyway, don't forget to report me to mummy, Oh and BTw, Chris Woakes sends you his regards! razz lol razz

It doesn't surprise me, either. It also doesn't surprise me that NineMilesofCrap is coming to the defence of the devious behaviour of Boris Johnson and co. To Tories like him, the economy is always more important than the health of its people.
cool
The rationale for changing the count is rubbish. Plenty people who've been discharged from hospital are still significantly weaker two months after being discharged, making them vulnerable to fatal illnesses. As you know, and NineMilesofCrap doesn't know, the real figure to look at is the excess deaths figure. The UK's excess deaths figure between the start of the coronavirus pandemic and the start of August is over 60,000, so that's the real death toll.

If NineMilesofCrap had read thru the thread, he would've seen where several of us have said that most countries are understating their true death toll. The official figures fall short of the excess deaths figure. And if NineMilesofCrap can point me to a chart that publishes the worldwide stats for excess deaths in 2020, I would happily quote that instead.

But, in the meantime, let's go with the latest official top ten death tolls....

1) USA - 177,426
2) Brazil - 112,423
3) Mexico - 59,106
4) India - 54,987
5) UK - 41,403
6) Italy - 35,418
7) France - 30,480
cool Spain - 28,813
9) Peru - 27,034
10) Iran - 20,264

Any country that's in the top ten has nothing to crow about...including the UK. No country's going to displace anyone from the top five any time soon.

Canada to the UK is a major route, NinePiles!

I can come the UK tomorrow if I want. It's just that I'd have to quarantine for 14 days. I am merely highlighting the stupidity of the process. The UK is saying the threshold is 20 cases a week per 100,000 and countries over that have to quarantine. That's why they just removed France, and now TnT (who weren't even flying there anyway) from the exempt list and now included Portugal.

Our count is about 4 or 5. Yours is about 11. You only really just dipped below 20 a couple weeks or so ago. We've been there long ago. We've been below 20 when the first Air Corridor was planned.

In reply to Dukes

Dukesie, did you read the link I provided in my post above? Let me provide you with some excerpts if you are too lazy to open the link and read it;

The recalculation is based on a new definition of who has died from Covid.

Previously, people in England who died at any point following a positive test, regardless of cause, were counted in the figures.

But there will now be a cut-off of 28 days, providing a more accurate picture of the epidemic.

This brings England's measure in line with the other UK nations.


Prof John Newton, director of health improvement at Public Health England (PHE), said: "The way we count deaths in people with Covid-19 in England was originally chosen to avoid underestimating deaths caused by the virus in the early stages of the pandemic."


In England, there was no time limit. Someone who recovered from Covid-19 in March and died in a car crash in July would have been counted as a coronavirus death.

Now the UK's four chief medical officers have decided to use a single, consistent measure and publish the number of deaths that occurred within 28 days of a positive coronavirus test confirmed in a lab, every day.

Every week for England, a new set of figures will be published showing the number of deaths that occur within 60 days of a positive test.

Deaths that occur after 60 days - such as those who have been in intensive care for many months - will also be added in if Covid-19 appears on the death certificate.


Prof Keith Neal, emeritus professor of the epidemiology of infectious diseases, from the University of Nottingham, said the two new measures were "sensible".

"The 28 days is widely used in many countries and England is now the same as the rest of the UK," he said.

"The previous measure of always being a Covid death, even if recovered, was unscientific.


I suggest you check out the credentials of both Prof Keith Neal and Prof John Newton and tell me if they are Trump-like!

Thanks

Please show me where I have defended Boris Johnson. Failure to do so will prove you are nothing more than a LIAR Mikey!

I agree the excess death numbers as provided by the ONS is higher than the current official numbers. This is mainly down to covid deaths in March and April when testing and the collating of death numbers were not up to scratch. Things have improved since which is something you can't bring yourself to acknowledge.

So yes, we do know about excess deaths in the UK. Now are you able to tell us about excess deaths in the US, Brazil, Spain, India etc?
Or is it only the UK that has excess death figures above the official numbers??
Or perhaps other countries don't report this as the ONS does?

Would like to know, Mr Expert on Covid deaths!

Sometime later in the article statements are made by icons in the Medical Profession.
Because you guys do not pay attention to detail you make the leap that those icons agree with that statement.

POPPYCOCK.
The only change I see is changing the death count from Covid from unlimited time to 28 days after the positive test.
In other words if I have a positive Covid test today and then 27 days later I die in a road traffic accident I can be counted as a Covid death according to this article.Is that true???
It is no more scientific,if it is in fact true
I would have thought that a Covid related death is a positive Covid test and a death not due to any discernible other cause such as a heart attack or pulmonary embolus but then again who is to say that those two causes are not related to their underlying Covid positivity.
In other words it is COMPLICATED and the SIMPLETON NONSENSE about traffic deaths is still CLASSIC DISTRACTION.

In reply to Dukes

Do you really think someone who died in a road traffic accident used to be counted as a Covid death?


Yes I do. I don't think you have any idea how chaotic things were back in the early stages of the pandemic and the collation of figures.
For example, deaths in Nursing homes were not being counted...which they are now, and are backdated.

The above may be an extreme example to give but if you tested positive for coronavirus, recovered and died months later from an unrelated-covid cause, it was still being counted as a Covid death.

A note on the government's website read: "Currently the daily deaths measure counts all people who have tested positive for coronavirus and since died, with no cut-off between time of testing and date of death
.

By this PHE definition, no one with Covid in England is allowed to ever recover from their illness," Prof Heneghan says.


Dr Susan Hopkins, from Public Health England, said there was no agreed method of counting deaths from Covid-19.

"In England, we count all those that have died who had a positive Covid-19 test at any point, to ensure our data is as complete as possible.

"We must remember that this is a new and emerging infection and there is increasing evidence of long-term health problems for some of those affected."

"Now is the right time to review how deaths are calculated," Dr Hopkins said.



Review into coronavirus death data in England This link is dated 17th July.

The review was then conducted and the revised method implemented on the 12 of August. Makes perfect sense to me!

What would be interesting is to find out how other developed countries count their covid deaths.

In POLITICS you can tell when you are being misled by certain things that are omitted.Nowehre does it say that those doctors made any comment about traffic accidents.However most people read it and can easily end up thinking that the docs did.I saw Dr. Oz who is a highly qualified cardiologist do the same thing.He would talk about some evidence suggesting such and such so that lay people think it is definitive.

There is anecdotal evidence that some people may be helped by Hydroxychloroquine.

I quoted a BBC source that said: In England, there was no time limit. Someone who recovered from Covid-19 in March and died in a car crash in July would have been counted as a coronavirus death.

You have not provided any evidence to suggest this is incorrect except to say one shouldn't believe it, and did so without even bothering to read the article.

To be honest with you Dupester, I will take the word of the BBC Health Editor over yours as to Health reports pertaining to England!

And your example of Hydroxychloroquine as comparable to this matter is utter BULLSHIT and you know it!

The UK are doing other countries a favour when they place them on quarantine...there a lot of Brits walking around who don't know that they're transmitting coronavirus. The British excess death toll is over 61,000, at the latest tally at the beginning of August. It's far more than the official death toll. Again, that's probably true of most countries in the top ten.

The latest top ten official death tolls:

1) USA - 182,404
2) Brazil - 116,666
3) Mexico - 61,450
4) India - 59,612
5) UK - 41,449
6) Italy - 35,445
7) France - 30,544
cool Spain - 28,924
9) Peru - 28,001
10) Iran - 20,901

In the UK, the Office of National Statistics have released data which shows that the true coronavirus death toll has passed 55,000 since the start of the pandemic. So, if we make similar calculations with regards to the other countries in the top ten, we might get a truer picture of the death tolls.

WHO warns Europe is entering “tricky moment” as coronavirus cases climb

As some European countries have continued to report growth in covid-19 cases, governments are responding by tightening up restrictions and safety measures. France reported 5429 daily cases today, up from 3776 a week ago, and Italy counted 1366 cases, its biggest daily increase in more than three months and up against 642 a week ago. Daily numbers in other major European countries are relatively stable, with Spain at 7296, Germany at 1507 and the UK at 1048.

The French prime minister Jean Castex warned the country had seen an “undeniable surge” of cases and the epidemic “could become exponential”, with cases rising as quickly as they did in the early days of the pandemic. The virus is now circulating in 20 of the country’s 101 “departments”, up from two previously. With France’s reproduction number – the average number of people one infected person will likely infect – now at 1.4, Castex said masks will become mandatory in Paris. The 21-day Tour de France will still go ahead this Saturday.

The German government today rejected calls to relax restrictions, with a leaked plan saying private parties will be limited to 25 people and the anticipated end of a ban on large public gatherings in October will instead be extended to the end of the year.

WHO interactive map for Covid-19 in Europe


The World Health Organisation (WHO) has released a new interactive map that shows how bad coronavirus is in different areas of Europe.

The map shows Covid-19 statistics broken down by areas within different countries, making it possible to spot regions where case of the virus are increasing.

On Friday the map showed hotspots of the virus across Spain and France, with clusters clearly obvious around large cities including Paris, Madrid and Barcelona.

According to the official top ten death toll, the USA is still ahead of Brazil...for now.

1) USA - 191,058

The number of new infection cases are on the rise in the UK with the 7-day average at 2032.
2,948 new cases recorded yesterday Monday 7 Sept.

The rise in new cases are mainly among the younger population who are not adhering to social distancing rules and then passing the virus on to the older population.

European countries have seen the numbers steadily climb up over the the past two weeks.

We are on the verge of the 2nd wave with weather getting colder!

 
mikesiva 2020-09-09 11:55:59 

In reply to camos

Are any of these official figures to be believed?

The more accurate figure is the excess deaths figure. The UK excess deaths figure stood at 58k according to the British Medical Journal. Half of those deaths occurred in care homes. As JahJah pointed out, the UK has a very high per capita death toll.

The UK are now reducing their social bubble from 30 to six in response to rising infection rates.

 
NineMiles 2020-09-09 17:40:24 

There seems to be a misconception here that the excess deaths figure are all down to covid-19.

Well it isn't! For the not well informed who pretend they are experts on the subject, let me tell you some of these excess deaths are not a direct result of covid.

Back in March/April/May, hospital admissions for non-covid patients dropped drastically. The focus was on covid-19.
Indeed hospital beds were freed up by discharging patients early in order to accommodate covid patients.
A lot of people were even frightened to visit hospitals for non-covid related ailments and many were not seen to at all. Some even had their cancer treatments put on hold.
Hell, you couldn't even visit your local GP as all doctor surgeries were shut. One of the doctors at my local surgery died of the coronavirus.
You could only speak to the docs on the phone and if lucky via video call.

It is therefore incorrect to assume all of the excess deaths are entirely due to covid.

I am certain the same applied to other countries but you will only read on this thread of excess deaths as it applies to the UK and nowhere else!

And if you didn't know, now you know! wink

 
mikesiva 2020-09-09 18:51:55 

In reply to NineMiles

The BMJ have attributed 52,000 of the 58,000 excess deaths to coronavirus, because that's what's on the death certificates. The Office of National Statistics also uses that 52k figure. Again, because coronavirus is on the death certificates. And 52k is a lot more than 41k.

Now, what makes the excess deaths figure important, is because of indirect deaths caused by coronavirus. Operations and cancer treatments have been cancelled, or sick patients have been afraid to go to hospital, so they've died indirectly because of coronavirus.

You need to stop swallowing Tory propaganda....
cool
The excess deaths figure is far more important than the vastly understated official figure of 41k.

This is what Richard Horton, the editor of the Lancet, had to say about how Trump and Johnson mishandled the pandemic:

'Now Horton is out with a new book, “The Covid-19 Catastrophe: What’s Gone Wrong and How to Stop it Happening Again.” It is an angry work, thrumming with righteous disbelief over mistakes made in the past six months. He accuses President Trump of a “crime against humanity” for cutting World Health Organization funding during a pandemic. He blames British Prime Minister Boris Johnson for thousands of excess deaths.'

The excess deaths figures are important to medical people

Now, contrast the UK's whopping excess deaths figure to that in South Korea:

'South Korea has recorded no "meaningful" excess mortality during the coronavirus pandemic, official data showed Wednesday. A total of 3,213 more people than usual have died in South Korea since January, according to the data released by Statistics Korea. However, Statistics Korea said there has been no "meaningful excess deaths" from the pandemic because more elderly people than usual died in the winter season.'

Big difference between 3k and 58k

South Korea is a country which did a much better job of handling this pandemic. Countries that did a better job of handling coronavirus have a lower excess deaths figure than those who screwed up. Simply because life got back to normal quicker in the countries with competent leadership. In Japan, my son reports that life is back to normal. In the UK, it's not.

In Japan excess deaths have actually fallen compared to a year ago

Unfortunately, I haven't yet found a site to compare excess deaths figures worldwide, but I'm willing to bet that all the countries in the top ten have excess deaths figures well in excess of their official stats....

 
NineMiles 2020-09-09 20:03:16 

In reply to mikesiva

So the excess deaths from covid is actually 52k now instead of the 58k as have you previously been portraying on this thread. At one point you even said the excess death is over 60k.

Your post of 21 Aug:

The UK's excess deaths figure between the start of the coronavirus pandemic and the start of August is over 60,000, so that's the real death toll.


From 60k down to 58k and now 52k. Good, we are getting somewhere with you!

This is not tory propaganda but a matter of being fair and unbiased in your reporting. This govt facked up big time at the start of the pandemic and will have a lot to answer for when we have an inquiry and the govt ministers will have a lot to answer for. Their inactivity and indecision has caused thousands of death and they must answer for them!

Would you also like to provide excess death numbers for Spain, France, Belgium, the USA and other Western countries not named Germany??

Comparing the UK's covid cases to S Korea and Japan is laughable. Do you even know why most far-east countries handled the pandemic better than western countries?
Would you like me to explain it to you??

Let me know if you don't know and I will let you know what you don't know! razz

 
mikesiva 2020-09-09 20:09:47 

In reply to NineMiles

My son lives in Japan, so I don't need the likes of you to explain why Far East countries have done a better job of handling coronavirus. Every week we talk, he marvels at what a mess Western countries have made of handling coronavirus.

Western European countries have screwed up, including France, Spain, Italy and Belgium. You can look up your own excess deaths figures for them. Go ahead, you know how to use the internet, don't you? Comparing them to the US and UK is comparing countries who screwed up with each other.

You might want to only acknowledge the 52k that have coronavirus on their death certificates, but medical journals like the Lancet consider the entire figure of excess deaths (58k) to be the important figure. Because the extra 6,000 are most likely indirect deaths resulting from the pandemic.

Yes, excess deaths have fallen in the UK from 60k to 58k. But that's hardly something to shout about, with autumn and winter coming.

So if you know all that idiot, what was the point of comparing covid deaths in Japan and S Korea to the UK.

Oh yeah, you have an agenda!

Carry on with your facked-up mind!

 
NineMiles 2020-09-09 20:46:31 

Nature gathered figures from several databases maintained by demographers, as well as from trackers run by The Financial Times and The Economist, two of the most comprehensive data sets on excess deaths. Although the coverage is not universal — it lists 32 countries (largely in Europe) and 4 major world cities — it includes many nations with major outbreaks and comprises about two-thirds of the official COVID-19 death toll up to the end of July.

The Nature analysis shows that there are huge variations in excess deaths between countries (see ‘More than expected’). In the United States and Spain — two of the hardest-hit countries so far — about 25% and 35%, respectively, of the excess death toll is not reflected in official COVID-19 death statistics. But in other places, the mismatch is much greater, such as in Peru, where 74% of the excess deaths are not explained by reported COVID-19 deaths. And some countries, such as Bulgaria, have even experienced negative excess deaths during the pandemic so far — meaning that, despite the virus, fewer people have died this year than expected.

In reply to NineMiles

You really are an arrogant Pom, aren't you?
rolleyes
South Korea, Australia, New Zealand and Japan have better stats because they reacted much better to the outbreak. At a time when SK were building up testing capacity in preparation for the pandemic, Boris Johnson was going around shaking hands, and telling business people that Britain was open for business. The Tories starting track and trace in March, when superspreader Walsh came back, and then inexplicably abandoned it in favour of herd immunity. As a result, a lot of people died who didn't have to.

Here's a comparison between how a competent South Korea tackled coronavirus, in contrast to a negligent UK govt:

The Country that beat the Virus

When the WHO was urging the world to follow the SK example, Johnson and Trump chose to ignore that advice. I hold the Johnson government responsible for killing my friend in Birmingham, as well as cc.com poster Banner, because of their negligence. In the same way, I hold Trump responsible for killing jala. I don't forgive either man for that.

And you call that an agenda...typical! You can go back to chatting your crap again...I will revisit this thread in a week's time to do another update. Not until then.

There's a reason why these countries are in the top ten....

1) USA - 195,239 official deaths
2) Brazil - 128,653
3) India - 75,119
4) Mexico - 69,095
5) UK - 41,594
6) Italy - 35,577
7) France - 30,794
cool Peru - 30,236
9) Spain - 29,628
10) Iran - 22,669

In the past week, the official death tolls for India have gone up by 7k, while the USA, Mexico and Brazil have increased by 3-5k, and Peru, Iran and Spain by less than 1k. The UK, France and Italy figures are down to less than 100.

 
mikesiva 2020-09-16 11:46:19 

The latest official top ten death tolls....

1) USA - 199,410 official deaths
2) Brazil - 132,297
3) India - 81,498
4) Mexico - 71,049
5) UK - 41,664
6) Italy - 35,633
7) France - 30,950
cool Peru - 30,812
9) Spain - 29,848
10) Iran - 23,453

These ten countries have been in the top ten for a while now. Colombia is trying to break through, though. The US are on the verge of 200k official deaths, while Spain are not far off 30k.

India have had 6k deaths in the past week, while the USA and Brazil have 4k official fatalities, and Mexico 2k. Peru and Iran have less than 1k official deaths, while the UK, Italy and France have kept their official death tolls to 100-200 a week.

France isn't exactly doing a great job of dealing with coronavirus.

Now, the world has past the grim landmark of a million official deaths from coronavirus.

The top ten official death toll....

1) USA - 209,354
2) Brazil - 141,503
3) India - 95,162
4) Mexico - 76,243
5) UK - 41,988

7) Peru - 32,142
cool France - 31,727
9) Spain - 31,232
10) Iran - 25,589

The US have now passed the 200k landmark. In the past fortnight, India, the US and Brazil have registered about 10k official deaths, while Mexico have about 5k deaths. Spain, Iran, France and Peru have 1-2k deaths, while the UK and Italy have had another 200-300 deaths.

"Separate figures published by the UK's statistics agencies show there have now been nearly 57,900 deaths registered in the UK where Covid-19 was mentioned on the death certificate."

UK coronavirus deaths at ONS up from 52k to 58k

 
mikesiva 2020-10-07 09:57:46 

From July to October, the same ten countries are dominating the top ten official death tolls list....

1) USA - 215,849
2) Brazil - 147,571
3) India - 104,591
4) Mexico - 82,348
5) UK - 42,445
6) Italy - 36,030
7) Peru - 32,914
cool Spain 32,486
9) France - 32,365
10) Iran - 27,419

There's been no change to the top ten countries in this list in the past three months. In the past week, India have about 10k deaths. Mexico, Brazil, the USA have 5-6k more official deaths, while Iran, Peru and Spain have about 1-2k deaths. The UK and France have about 500 more deaths, and Italy 100-200.

Just looking at the UK, the official death toll has increased significantly. The past week, it's gone up by 500, while the two weeks before that, it was 200-300. France have reduced their deaths, while the the UK's numbers have increased.

mikesiva 2020-10-14 10:06:18

Well, these are the official government stats, and almost every country's official stats understate the true death toll. For example, the UK govt's official stats say that 43k have died from coronavirus, while the stats from the UK's Office of National Statistics put the figure at 58k. I think that we need to add about a third to every govt's stats.

1) USA - 220,900
2) Brazil - 151,063
3) India - 110,645
4) Mexico - 84,420
5) UK - 43,018
6) Italy - 36,246
7) Peru - 33,419
cool Spain - 33,204
9) France - 32,942
10) Iran - 29,070

In the past week, the USA, India and Brazil have clocked up another 4-6k official deaths, while Mexico and Iran have had another 2k. The UK, Spain, France and Peru have had another 500-700 official deaths since last week. Italy have only had 200 deaths in the past week.

3) India - 119,030
4) Mexico - 88,924
5) UK - 44,896
6) Italy - 37,338
7) France - 34,761
cool Spain - 34,752
9) Peru - 34,149
10) Iran - 32,616

In the past fortnight, India and the USA have about 9-10k more official deaths, while Mexico, Iran and Brazil have 3-6k more. Italy, France, Spain and the UK have about 1-2k more deaths. These are all alarming increases in the top ten.

Russia pressing hard to replace Argentina in the official top ten death tolls:

1) USA - 263,701 official deaths
2) Brazil - 169,541
3) India - 134,254
4) Mexico - 101,926
5) UK - 55,230

7) France - 49,232
cool Iran - 45,255
9) Spain - 43,131
10) Argentina - 37,122

Over the past week, the US have clocked up 11k official deaths, while Italy, France, Brazil, Mexico, the UK, Spain, Iran and India have registered 2k-5k deaths. Argentina have notched up just under 2k deaths.

But again, there's that per capita thing. Argentina is 818 per million people. Russia is 254, so it's not happening on that front.
wink

All India, their per capita number is child's play at 97.

The worst hit country isn't even in the top 10 in overall body count due to a population of just under 12 mil, but their per capita count is far and away the worst in the world at 1,357.

Rich New Yorkers are paying people $80 an hour to wait in long lines for them at COVID-19 testing centers

Some rich New Yorkers aren't keen on waiting in line for a COVID-19 test — so they're paying other people to do it on their behalf.

"This year, there are some Taskers choosing to wait in line for clients seeking COVID-19 tests," TaskRabbit said in a statement sent to Business Insider.

"Because details of all tasks are shared by clients in advance, Taskers know the types of lines in which they will be waiting, and the decision about whether to accept the task lies with the Tasker.

"We encourage Taskers to not accept jobs for which they aren't comfortable for any reason."

$80 per hour is good money.

I am almost sure those numbers for Brazil are undercounted. Even in the US it is possible the numbers are undercounted since the Whitehouse took over the data reporting function. De Santes set up a sting operation on a Data Scientist in Florida, what do you think he is hiding? By the afternoon of January 21 it might shock you some of the real stats you are going to hear.

It's not just possible. All countries in the top ten ARE under counting.

For example, the official deaths for the UK are 64k.

However, the number of British deaths with coronavirus on the death certificate is 76k.

The number of British excess deaths at this time of the year is 79k.

Having coronavirus on the death certificate does not mean that it was the final disease or condition leading to the death even though it may have contributed to it

 
mikesiva 2020-12-16 08:48:10 

In reply to Maispwi

While that may be true, I can only speak for the UK, which is where I live. A friend of ours in Birmingham was very ill in April, and a doctor came to her house, and diagnosed her with coronavirus. Testing was sparse, and only done in hospital. She died before she went into hospital. Consequently, she's not in the government's official 64k figures, but she's in the Office of National Statistics 76k.

Hence, why I don't dismiss the ONS 76k figure. I've spoken to friends who've lost loved ones in similar circumstances.

If you take a good look you can find them. And their margins are very similar to the UK.

Up to October, for example, the excess deaths figure in the USA was 280k. By that same month the excess deaths figure in the EU was 170k higher than normal.

I only talk about the UK excess deaths because I live in the UK and I use it as an example.

Typical Brit! Everybody's hiding the truth except us.

China to be the only economy with positive growth in 2020, says IMF report

China continues to be the only economy in the world to show positive growth in 2020 as its GDP is predicted to expand 1.9 percent this year, according to the latest economic outlook released by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Tuesday.

Thanks to a faster-than-expected recovery, China's growth will accelerate to 8.2 percent next year, the IMF said in the World Economic Outlook.

IMF Chief Economist Gita Gopinath said China was pulling up the global numbers, and without China "cumulative growth for 2020 and 2021 is negative." Link Text

I have always said the gov't has mishandled the pandemic right from the outset.

Look you dumbass, I am an active member of the Labour Party and a fee paying one at that. What political party are you affiliated with? I know you are a Corbyn-battylicker, but are you a member of any recognised political party? I expect not. You are nothing more than a loudmouth and a pretender.

You have a twisted and messed up mind. If anyone disagrees with Corbyn that makes them a Blairite or a Tory.
For the Yanks here, it's like if you disagree with Bernie Sanders then that makes you a Trump supporter. There is no middle ground. How dumb is that! What a simpleton...Must be all those late nights working in the Amazon warehouse shifting parcels that has screwed up your facked up brain! razz

This pandemic has wreaked havoc all over the world and you seem to enjoy it... well at least in the case of the UK.
Case and death numbers have increased alarmingly all over Europe and even countries that handled the first wave very well have been hit severely during the second wave.
Take Germany for example where death rates during this wave has been very high and on par with the UK, Italy, France etc... But you don't see that... you only focus on the top 10 as if this is just a football game.

BTW, have you figured out how to work out per capita death rates, you stupid son of a bitch!

The number of deaths in Mexico, Russia and Italy went up by 7k-9k. In India, Germany, Spain and France, they've kept the number of deaths down to an increase of only 3k-5k, despite the ravages of the new UK variant in Europe. A good vaccination roll-out in the UK has probably meant that only 1k died in the past fortnight.

... It's good that I have my own house in Alanya, where it is already warm now, I can swim in the pool and take care of my small garden.

Ever heard of the Sarge and his deck project?

7) Russia - 111,198
cool France - 104,819
9) Germany - 83,826

In the past two weeks, Brazil and India registered a colossal 46-49k more official deaths from coronavirus! In the past fortnight, another 14k have died in the US. Another 4k-7k died in Mexico, Russia, France, Germany and Italy. In Spain, only 2k officially died from coronavirus, and thanks to the vaccine rollout, the UK have kept their official deaths to less than 1k.

You know, early on in the pandemic, the BBC and CNN would produce headlines that a person was dying or getting Covid every 4 minutes in Iran. I don’t see them on your top 10 S^*+hole countries

Pointing fingers is easy.
Looking in the mirror is hard.
