Wow, so maybe they made a mistake and sent cheap humidifiers instead of hospital ventilators, but at least it's something! What have you done to insert yourself into a global crisis for attention, hmmm?

From last night? No, because they have changed and I didn't write down the poo poo I ran.

From now? Yes.

Presently in the US there are 190,022 cases confirmed. Of those, 4102 have died.
4102/190022=0.02158 or 2.2% mortality. It's not perfect because we know more people have died at home or without confirmation, but it's probably in the ballpark.

In the US, there are 178,646 confirmed cases active right now. Of those, 4,576 are severe/critical.
4576/178646=0.0256 or 2.6% hospitalized. There are almost certainly many more cases that have not been tested, but because the US testing policy many places is "has shown up to the hospital," it's unlikely the untested cases are severe enough to be seen at a hospital.

Many of the cases that are not hospitalized are people who have called family doctors or been seen at urgent cares or so on and been told "yeah it's the bad poo poo, stay home and call 911 if you can't breathe."

There is likely a good chunk of those who were tested who weren't admitted at the time but will be admitted later as they deteriorate. It's probably not gonna be 17.5% of those people.

Globally, the numbers on Worldometer look like this:


That's basically the trend. 5% need hospitalized. 20% of the hospitalized cases die.

There's nothing that suggests 20% of people need hospitalization.

You're ignoring the time dimension. The disease often takes a ~a week after symptoms begin to progress to a severe form. In exponential growth, half the cases are newer than the doubling period. The vast majority of US cases have not had time to develop severe symptoms.

The only useful statistics on severity are from populations that are not in exponential growth.

We are all quite capable of believing in anything as long as it's improbable.

Not interested in the slap fight but our health system that encompasses 25 hospitals is seeing a more or less 20% hospitalization rate of patients diagnosed with Covid19. True there are probably others at home that don’t get diagnosed so the numbers may be off in that regard but otherwise 20% of those I diagnose needing the hospital is pretty dead on.

If anything this seems optimistic?

This is certainly a stupid way to estimate, but with the US population at 327 million vs 60 million for Italy (5.45x multiplier), and Italy having about 12000 deaths right now...if we assume Italy is now at peak death rate, that would be equivalent to the US having ~70K deaths at peak death rate, which seems too low. Also Italy's lockdown is FAR more effective than the US.

pretty much. I’m pretty sure our total deaths is increasing at a similar rate to theirs 15 days ago. though our death rate probably ain’t gonna level off rofl

so I guess I should say we should be so lucky as to go the way of Italy
