H1N1 had a mortality rate of .02%. Influenza is .1%. This shit is hovering above 3%, a mortality rate 150 times that of H1N1.

That seems to be the basis for concern by the government in wanting to limit spread. That combined with limited testing ability in America compared to other countries where testing is widely available.

This chart is also something that is being taken into consideration by public health officials.

No reason to panic, but it seems rational to implement some caution.

As of right now only the worst cases are being tested. That mortality rare will drop drastically once testing is more widespread. That is common on all epidemic/pandemic situations.
ABC news was showing mass burial pits in Iran. Couldn’t find a current video link but it’s massive. They went into the morgues with hidden cameras it’s way deadlier than reported.

italy getting hit hard too.
One take suggested that both populations are heavy smokers and that exasperates it.

ABC finally suggested China is lying about how it’s effecting them.
Remembered they jailed Drs that revealed it to the world.
China may be more pre dialed in and ready for something like this thus squashing quicker.
Both of those countries have pretty damn shitty healthcare systems (obviously Italy's is better than Iran, but still nowhere near great outside of major cities). I'd be more concerned if other 1st world countries with good healthcare systems are experiencing these huge death rates.

^^^ As of yesterday the death rate in the U.S. was about .7%. Like you stated, once more are diagnosed the real death rate will become more clear.

Looks like my Stater bro’s did this morning when I went. Crazy.
This was at 630 this morning when I went to go buy some tri tip to smoke. I walkeed back out and went to a top secret location. In hindsight I probably spent as much time at the meat market

The mortality rate was 2.2% as of yesterday, here in the USA.. and that is only for confirmed cases. Obviously many have had it and recovered without hospital visits or being tested.

If we had the same testing ability as other countries in the world we might be able to prove out more accurate mortality rates and public health officials would have a greater scientific basis to make educated and informed recommendations.

But given America’s inexplicable inability to test even at a very small fraction of other countries, greater precaution unfortunately seems prudent.

Our local staters had a line of 50+ waiting to get in at opening.
They open at 6, over heard a lady saying she got there at 510 and there was already 10 people in line.

UFC is weird without an audience.
What's the story with this? Just started watching on ESPN and it says I'm watching the lightweight main event and it's only on for an hour. Then I look at my calendar and it says the UFC fights are from 5 to 8. What happened to the prelims? Or did they change the time?

The problem is we don’t know the real death rate.

The US is currently only testing a few thousand people a day. The testing facilities are completely overrun and for every person tested several people are being turned away because we lack the resources to test everyone.

ER’s and hospitals are already spread thin this time of year because of influenza. There’s a very good chance many people are walking into ER’s with the Coronavirus and being treated for flu related pneumonia, the ones that die are reported as flu related because they’re not being tested for Coronavirus.

The reported infection rate is insanely false. Children who get infected show little symptoms and most won’t be tested. Countless healthy adults will have very light symptoms and brush them off as a cold and never get tested. These same children and their adult parents will continue to infect people and not take this thing seriously.

Within a week our hospitals will be completely overrun with sick people. These sick people will need intensive care and it won’t be available. Doctors will soon be forced to decide which patients they should treat and which patients they will need to let die because they won’t have the resources to treat every critically ill person.

Lots of my employees with kids are telling me they need to stay home as long as schools out.
4 weeks is best estimate at this stage...
Very few have enough vacation time to cover this...

I just mentioned in another thread when my mother was in emergency two years ago with pneumonia. Two emergency room doctors tried talking my dad out of treatment, they basically didn't care if she lived or died. Hence why with my mothers COPD, my family is taking this more serious. Doing more to make sure she doesn't get the virus. We are sure, she'd be in the let die camp when our hospitals are overrun.

The river was super busy today. The stores are empty. The bars are packed. It’s kinda anti recession out here right now. I guess we will see how long it takes for everyone to run out of money.

you do realize the test kits the USA had were shipped overseas to help others
one of the reason the inventory is low is due to us helping others
the orders Friday limit the % of kits US manufactures send overseas

Mt. Bachelor (Bend, OR) closed from March 15 - 22...to assess the situation. I’m guessing it will be extended. That will be a huge blow to the local economy. So bummed as we just got fresh snow, kids are out of school, and I’m working remote.

Anyone else here get a very bad "cold" in January/February? Me and everyone I know had it, tough to kick, put some people in bed and reoccurred. No one was being tested for beer virus. This shit's been around for a lot longer than people know.
