your math is seriously flawed. The death rate is much lower than that by a decimal or two.

How so?

456,000 deaths / 26,7000,000 cases = 1.7%, I used 1.6%.

So actually, 300,000 cases means 5,100 deaths, not 4,800.

How awesome that EVERY ******* case has been tested and confirmed. Thank God that millions of Americans did not have asymptomatic Chinese flu and thus no test, as otherwise your numbers would be as valid as your contribution status.

Idiot.
 
Oh, and Floggy, you dumb ************, "Over 112,000 new cases of COVID-19 were reported in the United States on February 4, 2021."

Wait, is Trump still President? I mean, Beijing Joe and his dementia team had a plan to crush the Chinese flu. Not going well so far. Almost as if the babbling geezer was lying the entire time, using the Chinese flu as a political tool, when in fact it's a ******* virus that a doddering old man can do nothing about. Only the genuinely stupid fail to see that, which explains why you fail to see that.

If the 26.7 million is underreported, then so is the 300,000.

Idiot.

Cases are down 30% in the two weeks Biden has been your President. You’re welcome.
 
Because the death rate is about .4% or lower dumbass! Those numbers are not accounting for anywhere near all estimated cases. I am so sick of that propaganda. Your chance of dying from Covid is not over 1% unless you are over 70 I believe. Quit spreading fear porn.

Not necessarily, those cases are so minor they don't bother seeking treatment and don't die. The ONLY reason the mortality rate looks like what you posted is they only count cases severe enough to have been diagnosed or got lucky and caught some on testing. If everyone who has actually had this been included the mortality would probably be closer to .2% or lower. The estimate on the high end of guesses is .4%.
 
Have no fear....Biden’s COVID plan? Mailing masks out to each household!! Yay!!

Trump deserves credit for that reduction given the time lag.

And you should be thanking SF81, me, Supe, Ogre, TSF, Zona, JMM, SIL, Indy, ICS, and on and on since we pay for the site while you welfare-queen your way to every contributor's hate list.

How many paychecks you miss due to lockdowns, *****? And yet still cannot find $8 per month to help keep the site running. What a worthless douchebag. A nobody. Garbage. A disease. You are as welcome as a giant wet fart in an elevator.

Propaganda? Fear porn? No, I merely extrapolated deaths based on cases. If 26.7 million is underreported, so is 300,000. The extrapolation of deaths based on the cases doesn’t change.

The death rate varies and has been going down sharply since the virus first appeared. ASSuming that the overall death rate is going to apply to all future cases when the death rate over the last 4 months is considerably less is nothing more than fear mongering and propaganda.

He told everyone that he was going to "shut down Covid"...who knew he had such a novel ******* plan.

No, it’s actually gone slightly up recently as a decrease in deaths lags behind the decrease in cases. For example yesterday there were 5,100 deaths and 127,000 cases. Unless and until the vaccine has an effect on the severity of cases, I don’t think the death rate will change much.

Wrong, welfare queen. Not me. You are too stupid to keep straight who is saying what. Keep making bank on the Chinese flu, you **********.

It’s math. The denominators represent the same thing. Any assumption applied to one applies to the other.

No wonder you guys struggle with science.

God, you have to be the dumbest thing ever to pollute this board. Let me explain it so simply even a stupid welfare queen can follow:

The denominator, i.e., the number of people with the virus, is affected VASTLY by the failure to test asymptomatic patients. This number currently has nothing to do with "estimates," but instead on the number of tested and confirmed cases. That number is probably half as large as it should be given the vast number of asymptomatic people, including a huge number under age 21. That age group has a huge number of asymptomatic people.

“We don’t know how many people are asymptomatic, because we haven’t had widespread enough testing,” explains Dr. Alan Taege, MD, an infectious disease specialist at the Cleveland Clinic. “The only way to know that is to test full populations or very large numbers of people. There have been a few small studies done where the estimates vary quite a lot. One study estimated it was as high as 40 or 45% of people, another one did a meta analysis and narrowed it down to 25%.”

All this to say: There are probably larger numbers of asymptomatic cases than what’s being reported, because if people are feeling fine, they’re not likely to seek out a test. “It is likely that there are many asymptomatic people at schools, and among those who perform jobs such as preparing and serving food,” explains Dr. Mir. “It is a very challenging situation to monitor unless you do a lot of testing. Those who are asymptomatic likely do not get tested unless there’s a need, but it is important to keep in mind that COVID is still very much here.”

On the other hand, the numerator - the number of people hospitalized and/or who died due the Chinese flu - is almost certainly approaching 100% since every ******* person admitted to the hospital is tested and every person who dies with symptoms remotely related to the Chinese flu - cough, difficulty breathing, change in taste or smell, fever - is tested.

Therefore, the numerator changes almost none with vastly higher testing, the denominator increases by a huge amount.

And for welfare queens - inevitably math-challenged since they cannot afford $8 per month - when the numerator stays the same and the denominator increases significantly, the percentage goes down. WAY down. WAY, WAY down.

To sum up:

  • You are a welfare queen.
  • Welfare queens are stupid.
  • Therefore, you are stupid.
  • You fail to grasp mathematical concepts most of us had mastered by 3rd grade.
  • Because of the welfare queen/stupid thing.
  • Seems one of us has a problem with "science," and her name is Floggy, the Welfare Queen.
 
My work is switching from the PCR test to the rapid antigen test. I think it is going to be a cluster. If you test positive with the rapid test you have to leave and its on you to see your PCP or get the PCR test from a clinic. The rapid tests are not all that accurate so I can foresee a lot of angry employees / residents.
