scroll down one more line and keep reading
Looking at the whole funnel from top to bottom, ~1% of everyone who istested for COVID-19 with the US will have a severe case that will require a hospital visit or long-term admission.
Gotta read the article bud, don’t be so quick to dismiss positive info
Less than 1% of tested cases will be severe
10-15% of positive test will be severe
Both can be true

South Korea

Before discussing their numbers...you are aware of what they are doing, yes?

You mean read this?

You mean where he literally puts out a bold headline that says 1% of cases will be severe?

You keep adding that word "tested". Stop being intellectually dishonest. Stop lying about what was in the article because you think you can get away with it since it's not up anymore at that link.

If you have to lie and intentionally misrepresent to push your agenda, maybe you should reconsider whether you are pushing the right agenda?

Stop pushing for the article that puts lies in bold in hopes that people won't read the article and realize he's pulling a fast one

This is why you don't get to say "but I cited good sources!" as an excuse for keeping up your bull**** 'article'

Ah so you're supposed to go read a summary to realize that his bold headline was a lie?

That's some good writing.

You keep trying to convince us this is good information and good writing. It's intentionally misleading and deceiving and is chock full of inconsistencies and contradicts itself all over, just like I said from the beginning.

Because I read it and anybody with an open mind will realize it immediately. As reading your very own twitter link and responses will also demonstrate

It's bull**** and you know it. It deserved to get taken down, and you know it

Feel free to convince them it needs to go back up.

So I just heard from a doctor on the frontlines in Seattle.. what he said was pretty interesting.

So some of us already know, but there are two strains of the virus. One is a really bad strain, and one is a mild strain.

Italy, China, and parts of the US (Washington, NY, Cali) that are hit pretty badly got the bad strain.

What he said was that the younger people getting really sick are the ones who got the bad strain. At his hospital the youngest is 24, with the next youngest being 45. Furthermore he said that if an older person gets the bad strain.. they're pretty much done for, because of heart attacks and multiple organ failure. He also said they are doing clinical trials starting tomorrow for the potential cures that have been presented.

It seems to add up.

See this is the thing that still sort of amazes me. If 15-20% of cases are not mild, aka severe, how is that not still a big deal? I mean the reported R0 is around 3. And we are suspecting a solid half of all infections are asymptomatic? If we let it run its course and it is allowed to infect a majority of our population, that math is still grim. We don't need to be infighting about the details to be on the same page that its serious and we aren't over reacting.
We are all gunna make it

Right?!

People also under estimate what moderate and severe mean in this context. Even moderate doesn't mean yeah I think I'll call off work today I'm a little under the weather.

I think one thing that would get some people to wrap their heads around just exactly how badly this could go, is to start talking hospitalization rates.

Oh and be honest about mild vs severe or worse cases, not lying about it like that guy in that stupid article

Par for the course of this thread, to be honest.

People will post intellectualy dishonest "info" in this thread, but as long as it suits the fear-mongering agenda, they are fine with it.

im not debating that it’s not severe

I’m saying less than 1% of those tested and 10-15% of confirmed cases can be true

Both give you different perspectives

Also, only 15-25% are community transmission, another perspective

Now everyone believing trumps tweet on covid19..... The combination of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin to treat the coronavirus has not been proven safe and effective through large scale clinical trials. There is only anecdotal evidence from case reports in countries overseas. Promising them as miracle drugs gives false hope......hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil) and azithromycin taken together affects the QT interval of your heart and can lead to arrhythmias and sudden death, especially if you are taking other meds or have a heart condition.


Trump shouldnt have made that tweet...he is giving false hope to people

Absolutely. That statement can absolutely be true. It's also not a temporal statement. I.e. If you test 1 month in, what you are saying is valid for that round of testing. If you test again in a month, and now someone who previously tested negative tests positive (they got infected in the second month), what does that do to your data? It's a snapshot in time. Not a complete picture of the dust after it's settled.

Maybe you should stop spamming the thread in an effort to troll me. I didn't even direct that last two posts at you, and you came right after me.

You have had AMPLE opportunity to respond to the discussion you entered about masks and if they have any affect on the outcome of a countries epidemic. Instead, you continued to evade the topic and chitpost.

One of these days, you will have enough reading comprehension to understand what I posted. I guess today is not that day. Even though I point blank posted it already.

Are you ready to stop clogging the thread with your attacks?
