All the bodies are being incinerated so that’s not going to be possible

Haha... I read the EXACT SAME study.

Yesterday, they had ~150 less new cases than the day before. Let's hope it starts to level off some.

As of last week, here is the breakdown of age and cases. I'm sure the current trend is roughly the same.

0–19 (123)
20–44 (705)
55–64 (429)
65–74 (409)
75–84 (210)
≥85 (144)

Of the ages and cases, tested and confirmed. How many of the 0-44 have it, and no one will ever know, because they aren't likely to be affected by it??? How many have already had it? How many of the normal cold and flu cases the past few months, were this? Unless we test everyone, AND test foe the antibodies to confirm if they EVER had it, all these numbers are just guessing games.

ebaystealth1974 · #**801** 03-23-2020

Those ARE the confirmed cases, as of a week ago. Not sure what you mean.

We are WAY ahead of those numbers now lol

That's my point. We are only talking confirmed, and the only ones confirmed, are the ones being tested. And the only ones being tested, are the ones showing symptoms. So, unless we test everyone, we will never know how many actually have it and how many had it. And the ones least likely to be tested, are younger people, as they are the least likely to be affected by it in the first place, nor the ones worried enough about it to fight for a test. Which is why I said, there are probably twice as many young people that have it.

ebaystealth1974 · #**803** 03-23-2020

Oh. Yeah, definitely.

ebaystealth1974 · #**804** 03-23-2020

Our Death Rate in the US seems to be significantly lower than the global rate (1.2% versus the Global 4.3%), so I've started making my own graphs of the growth factor with JUST the US numbers. To show only what is happening here in our own Country.

The graph below DOES NOT contain the numbers from the last 2 days, since we had a dip then a huge spike from NY. I wanted to see the trend from the last 2 weeks of data, here.

The average Growth Factor is 1.36 (excluding the last 2 days), which equals 40x multiplication every 12 days. Unfortunately, that means 1,660,000 cases by April 4th. And, honestly, it'll probably be more, with the way these cases are popping up.

Hopefully, we peak SOON!

We want to be BELOW ONE, which means less and less deaths every day.

james13v · #**805** 03-23-2020

the more widespread the testing, the lower the rates will be. So the more we ramp up into this, the lower rates will be.

ebaystealth1974 · #**806** 03-23-2020

Regarding the graph...

1 = consistent daily growth ( EXAMPLE: 1000 each day)
2 = a doubling each day, which would be horrible...

Think it might limit the post too essential items only, not that it would be easy too enforce but we will see.
