re: OT: Corona Panic 2020

Interesting article from someone that might know what they are talking about....

Does this guy count as credible?
John P.A. Ioannidis - professor of medicine, of epidemiology and population health, of biomedical data science, and of statistics at Stanford University and co-director of Stanford’s Meta-Research Innovation Center

In the most pessimistic scenario, which I do not espouse, if the new coronavirus infects 60% of the global population and 1% of the infected people die, that will translate into more than 40 million deaths globally, matching the 1918 influenza pandemic.

Well, 58M people already die every year....wonder what the +/- would be

I think the writer is credible. We are in dire need of mass testing in order to make informed societal choices. Our government should start employing the WHO covid-19 test along with tests from independent labs.

Lies about test availability don't seem to work.

You'd think at least Seattle would have some serious issues by now but it's not the case and won't be

---

Seattle proper has a population of about 700,000....Rome has a population of almost 3M and the demographics of Rome are much higher in age and smokers. Not to mention the size of Rome is smaller

Once again, not a whole lot of data yet, but enough to understand some of the early statistics

This shite is starting to weigh on me. With work stress, financial stress pre this shite, now my retirement is disappearing and on top of that there's this shite. And now I'm getting cabin fever working from home with the wife and kid all home as well, with this shitty weather. Where's the fn sun?. F all this shite. That's it. End of rant.

Isn't it fun how you can do all the right things and still get bent over?

C'mon,it close to 4 million with metro.
Point being,ground zero was next to a huge
population ctr.

Rome? The epicenter is the Lombard region and Milan in northern Italy but still a high population density



The Italy epicenter was in the Lombard region where 50,000 Chinese immigrant garment workers lived and worked.

So another factor in the outbreak in Italy

I think we have enough to compare specific
regions of each country with higher population ctrs.I ran all the prorated stats on a earlier post.

If all the people who appear to have gotten Ill from the UGA dudes funeral in Albany doesn’t disturb one, then nothing will.

Yesterday the hospital in Albany received 14 test results--13 were positive. Below is a snapshot of were my community stands.

-- Total Positive Results – 23

-- Total Positive Patients in Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital – 8

-- Total Positive Patients at Home – 13

-- Total Deaths – 2

-- Total Inpatients Awaiting Test Results at Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital – 69

-- Total Inpatients Awaiting Test Results at Phoebe Sumter Medical Center – 5

-- Total Inpatients Awaiting Test Results at Phoebe Worth Medical Center – 1

-- Total Patients Awaiting Test Results at Home – 330-plus

Dude,you need to take a chill pill.

I was just comparing 2 areas near 2 population centers and similar timelines.
THATS IT.

I can promise you nobody has gone through more comparative data in this discussion than I have. I've looked at the final numbers,rates and the dates of the Diamond
Princess.Ive gone through the history and looked at the data of Influenza deaths in Italy over a 4 year period.Ive looked at the H1N1 numbers sideways.Ive posted real numbers and estimated numbers of infections,deaths and rates of hospitalization
(HUGE varience in cases BTW)I've also looked at the
SK data and their reasons for apparent success. I blew up the false narrative about Trump cutting the global pandemic/CDC budget

Be my guest and go over my posts.Nobody has come up with more exact numbers and current data.

I said there was ENOUGH data to make the comparison.I never said it was complete.
Hell,we dont even have complete data on the Spanish from 100 years ago.

BTW,why did you bring up Rome in regards to the outbreak in Italy?It was and is far away from the epicenter of the Italian breakout.

Have no idea why you're so angry but I hope you refill your meds or get out and enjoy some fresh air today.It'll help ya out.
