Italy is also like top 3 worldwide in having an older population. Not trying to downplay it or anything though, I think the combination of Italy's hospitals being overcrowded and having an aging population is probably contributing to such a high death rate.
Italy seeing thousands dead, cases rising exponentially, hospitals overrun Boris Johnson says: hold our lager https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.th...munity-will-the-uks-coronavirus-strategy-work
The UK "strategy" is completely irresponsible. Boris Johnson is a waffling buffoon. And his advisor Dominic Cummings is as corrupt as they come.
Nope, https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsa...ovid-19-is-now-officially-a-pandemic-who-says only 3 days ago. Waaaay after China and Asia spread. The truth is every government, politician, organization, sector, company, group, person, etc... was way late on reacting to this at all levels. But whatever, I'm sure you have a raging boner for Trump's delay and nobody is going to tell you any different. You do you, I'm moving on...
[Premium Post] Actually, I'm conducting a fact-based analysis, using actual data. Despite a significantly larger population, the USA is faring far better than European nations in containing the virus. Population USA: 327 million Italy: 60 million Germany: 82 million France: 67 million Spain: 47 million Total Cases USA: 1,264 Italy: 15,113 Germany: 2,369 France: 2,860 Spain: 2,965 Daily New Cases (Yesterday) USA: 277 Italy: 2,651 Germany: 802 France: 591 Spain: 825 Thank you PRESIDENT TRUMP GOOD DAY
You can go to the WHO site and just scroll backwards to see their concerns were pretty far along quite awhile ago: https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/events-as-they-happen On January 30th, they declared a "Public Health Emergency of International Concern"
Hey Moscow Mitch maybe you could call off your ****ing 3 day weekend now that the house has passed a bill.
[Premium Post] But the virus got here before Western Europe... especially Germany/Spain/France... so we are farther along in the curve... The China travel ban was very positively impactful for the USA to contain the virus. GOOD DAY
Your argument is that if someone is sick with a disease, but so long as they don't get diagnosed with the disease, they are doing better than someone who is diagnosed? Ohio alone estimates 100,000 infected, and yet you post this? Come on TJ. You aren't stupid. Are you?
[Educational Post] No, that estimate was debunked days ago. Good grief, this is the low level of talent that I must debate with? Boring! GOOD DAY
What does declaring it a pandemic do? What changed from a policy or action standpoint? You are reaching here. The WHO offered the US test kits over a month ago. Trump refused. And now we have an epidemic out of control in the US and you have @Trader_Jorge claiming that it's so smart that we aren't testing because it helps us look good compared to Europe. Are you that loyal to Trump?
If Ohio has 100k infected that is great news because they aren’t seeing people dying or flooding their hospitals. That would mean the disease is really way more mild here than believed. Or it was irresponsible of her to say the 100k mumber.
You guys are hilarious. If you think limited testing like we've been doing is allowing us to report every case, you're crazy. I'm not sure about the other countries, but it's more likely we have 12,000 cases than 1200. Not only that, but there's now actually a reported 2,500 cases, double what you stated. With 50 people dead, as of now, our death rate is at 2% if you believe those numbers. I would think the actual death rate is much lower, to be honest.
Let me ask you a question - do you think there are more or less than 2,000 people infected with the virus in the US? Let's see how talented you are Spoiler
Probably irresponsible but her point is valid - that there is a large pool of people in Ohio who are undiagnosed. There is no way that the number of people infected in the US is under 2,000 currently. Given that 49 states have reported cases and the virus is spreading in the community, and that we are not yet testing people unless they are super rich or come from a restricted area - the numbers are far far higher. And if we are not testing, and someone dies from flu-like symptoms - will it ever be known if they had the coronavirus even?
I actually agree on the China travel ban. All other countries - and China - should have agreed on that as soon as the virus left Wuhan.
