Would be least 0.5% and climbing, considering 0.1% of the total NY population has died to the disease so if only 1/5 of them have had it...at least 0.5% + people who currently have it but haven't diedyet+ the unknown number of undocumented cases

That is another thing that's a little different in that the mortality is heavily heavily weighted by age so if you just compare death rates across the board yea it's worse but should we react the same way if something kills at a 5% rate across all ages or if it kills at a 15% rate above 80 and a 10% rate above 70 and down from there?

"The results come from a state program that randomly tested 3,000 supermarket customers across New York State. Nearly 14 percent of those tests came back positive, Mr. Cuomo said."



Oh and BTW, that article provides the exact same number I just did


"They would also mean that the fatality rate from the virus is relatively low — [color=red]about 0.5 percent, Mr. Cuomo said."[color]




(remember seasonal influenza is 0.1 and that's probably a high estimate that's based on multiplying estimates)

Read the update bud. And if 21% have antibodies that means they had the virus already. So the number of confirmed cases is going to massively increase, hence lowering the mortality rate.

Lowering it to 0.5-0.6% based on those numbers.

And yes I just read it and just quoted it and what do you know it, it being the article you are going by and you posted, perfectly agrees with what I had already said...before you posted it.

You going to argue against your own claims now? lol Or are you posting that article to say not to trust it?

I like the stay home orders, not because of how it is stopping the virus but more how rustled people are getting over it. Something about watching how weak people really are gets me off lol.

Agreed, because people getting $800 per week on unemployment + stimulus checks for not doing anything is a great way to keep the economy healthy.

</sarcasm>

All sectors will be affected sooner or later. Yup, even the healthcare field.

21% of 8.3m is 1.74m. Meaning the 143000 confirmed cases in NYC is is closer to 1.75m. The number of deaths in NYC is 11,300.

So tell me what the actual mortality rate is. I’ll wait.

So should we listen to some ******* scare tactic or real scientists with entire countries as test groups?
if the death rate for healthy young people with no prior conditions is 0.2%, why aren't we just locking up all the old and sick in their homes and not losing trillions of dollars and crippling our families for the next 100 years.

Your article:

"Nearly 14 percent of those tests came back positive, Mr. Cuomo said.

If those numbers translate to the true incidence of coronavirus, they would mean that more than 1.7 million people in New York City, and more than 2.6 million people statewide, have already been infected.

These numbers are far greater than the 250,000 confirmed cases of the virus itself that the state has recorded.

They would also mean that the fatality rate from the virus is relatively low — about 0.5 percent, Mr. Cuomo said."



Funny how your own source agrees with the number I already posted, prior to you providing the link.

I did the math myself and got 0.5% then you posted your preferred source which also said 0.5%.

Maybe you should read it before linking it next time, so you don't have to argue against yourself lol

Here is another similar article about the same testing

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...ng-wide-spread

"In New York City, the hardest-hit area in the U.S., 21.2% of people tested positive for a blood marker showing that they had been infected at some point. "

"It also means that the fatality rate of the virus is likely lower than the figure that’s based only on confirmed cases and deaths. Officially, New York has reported 15,500 deaths. If 2.7 million people have been infected,that would put the fatality rate at around 0.6%."


Damn another source for the same data that says the same thing I did.

From Worldometer:



IOW a mortality rate of 1.0 or 2.0 is relatively conservative.
Mortality rate on confirmed cases in the very beginning was 3% ie. people who got it bad and had to go to hospital AND who were tested for the virus.
That leaves out the droves who catch it and feel nothing or those who get mild to moderate symptoms and even those who have quite severe symptoms but who still tough it out without going to hospital.

Why can't *******s who are always quoting the 3% mortality figure understand this?

Yup, trin is right.

21% of 8.3m is 1.74.

11,300 / 1,740,000 = 0.649425%

to be fair, the scientist says it’s 100x more deadly, watch the video in the op, around 2:30 mark

Guy says it’s basically like the flu, can expect to have up to 6 months of antibodies then you can get it again
