At least "they" stopped Hillary and her emails.

(65,042 posts)Just for contrast when testing and isolation is done expeditiously.
60 million people got it; a bit over 12,000 died. In 9 months, not 3.
I know that H1N1 may have been led pernicious and more readily treatable.
But your number & mine result in, for now,a virus that is 150x more deadly!
Botany
(70,508 posts)... but that we see many linked deaths from other illness, accidents, and suicides because
our medical system will be over run with C-19 cases.
We are looking @ deaths in the US @ millions.
ProfessorGAC
(65,042 posts)...deaths per known cases. With the stupid delay in reacting, we don't really know yet how many people are actually carrying the virus.
Even if it's 2x, rather than more, the mortality rate drops in half.
It's too soon, I suppose, to draw firm conclusions. Unfortunately, people are dying now. The better numbers later don't matter to those folks & their families.

(70,508 posts)330,000,000 (US pop) x .4 (40 to 70% infection rate) x .03 (mortality rate) = 3,960,000 U.S. dead
Florida's dumb fuck Gov. Ron DeSantis, "We have to see how the virus is acting in different communities."

(65,042 posts)It's the 0.03 that's the unknown.
That said Italy is at 105k cases, 27k fully resolved. So 132k. 12,500 deaths. So >9%!

(24,368 posts)which frankly, we might not hear of for a few years.
There are huge swaths of humanity, literally billions of people, who will never get tested, will get sick and will die from lack of proper medical care, of this I am convinced.
