I'm glad to see America is finally taking this pandemic seriously and taking some real action: https://twitter.com/ReichlinMelnick/status/1280207487573069827?s=19 Seriously, though, if they're not currently stuck in America they're smarter to not go back anyway. Although this does mean they're more likely to hold in-person classes when they don't need to just to hold on to international tuition.....

Marmaduke! posted:People have been saying that the death rate is as low as 0.2% so why are you surprised that it's barely 1%? You're not the guy who was making GBS threads himself thinking it was a 15% death rate are you? Just to be clear, the 0.2% number was cherry picked from a CDC report from a pandemic scenario that in no way represents what is going on in the US at all, not in terms of patient demographics, or preventative measures, or anything. Note that the average time from infection to symptoms is 5-10 days depending on age/pre-existing conditions and the average time to death is 19 days from presentation of symptoms.

Nice Van My Man posted:I'm just going by the death rate for confirmed cases that recover vs. deaths. I'm aware that the actual death rate is probably much lower, which is why it might just be that the numbers are different due to an increase in testing, I don't know! There's a good lesson in measurement accuracy here. This is a very inaccurate way to calculate a fatality rate; the accuracy in both the numerator and the denominator is abysmally low so you get an estimate that is practically meaningless. For instance those numbers aren't time-synchronized; it takes longer for a lot of cases to recover than it does for other cases to die. There's an unknown ratio between the detected number of cases and the true number of cases, which also applies to deaths but as a different ratio (e.g. there's a much higher likelihood that someone who goes on to die of coronavirus will get tested than someone who has mild or no symptoms). There's wild discrepancy in how and when states report infections, deaths, and recoveries.

I know this is covid blm flaming plastic death arctic locust times but somehow I’m most titillated by this weird sheriff system that the US has. Like, how did 50 states, or however many loving counties there are, all just up and decide to do poo poo this way? It’s like they all copied the first guy’s homework or something without bothering to check if it made any sense so now you’re all just living by the rules of lorem ipsum ffs.

tuyop posted:I know this is covid blm flaming plastic death arctic locust times but somehow I’m most titillated by this weird sheriff system that the US has. it makes sense when you consider it was put in place when there was an incredible % of the population that was rural, and not clustered in cities. even now, rural non-incorporated locations don't have their own police department. so back in the day you had a sheriff who was in charge of law enforcement for the whole county. only later did state's begin to operate state police departments (so they would be beholden to the state government, instead of an independent sheriff), and that is how you ended up with strange overlap of state police AND sheriffs. even that overlap is SORT OF worked out by sheriffs taking control of managing county jails.

Lazyfire posted:excess deaths Here's a useful but horrifying graph! It's mostly laying out the data by state but note that NYC gets a line all to itself.  https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm You can click through a whole bunch of different graphs down the bottom of that page and they're all horrifying in slightly different ways. Fun fact: the excess deaths for the week ending April 11 were somewhere between 35-40% above expected.

Mithaldu posted:i was looking at their death rate graphs, because that's a number they actually graph over time. also, my question is more about people citing stuff like 1% last page The difference between the two lines on the "closed cases" graphs will also be highly dependent on how widespread testing has been. If they're restricting testing and mostly just testing people who are being hospitalized with symptoms then the death rate is naturally going to be a lot higher, if they massively increase the numbers of tests available and expand the testing to the greater community and start finding a lot more asymptomatic cases then the death rate is going to drop way down. "Closed cases" on the worldometers site can also mean a whole lot of different things and a bunch of countries (and I guess individual US states) have been reporting "closed" numbers under drastically different criteria. I'm pretty sure that one country (I think the UK?) was assuming that detected infection from a certain number of weeks ago had to have concluded so they were just blanket reporting them all as "closed", another country was including all their COVID deaths in their "recovered" stats, a whole bunch of states and countries are counting deaths WITH covid instead of deaths FROM covid, etc etc.. E: Ohio just started listing "presumed recovered" cases on their stats, under the reasoning "Well if we haven't heard from them for 21 days I guess they're out frolicking in a park or something" quote:Ohio has added "Presumed Recoveries" E2: "Those sciencey people haven't given us a number but we can just guess, it's super easy!" https://twitter.com/GovMikeDeWine/status/1278769786164518912 Snowglobe of Doom fucked around with this message at 03:24 on Jul 7, 2020 |

Tipps posted:It is frustrating and predictable that he would start calling it the China Virus again. His base needs to be fed some easy lie to distract them from their incoming deaths at Trump's hands, and the only move he knows is blatant, stupefying racism. Is the narrative a guided distraction away from how hosed the USA is as a direct result of federal inaction? Yes of course, but at least it's a rally against the CCP.
