im just hoping Trump gets it from him.
Those numbers make great election posters and memes“ Open Windows.“ “ Don't Share Food.”.... Here's the Government's Coronavirus Advice.....
Every year since taking office, Trump has asked for deep cuts into research on emerging diseases – including the CDC’s small center on emerging and “zoonotic” infectious diseases that jump the species barrier from animals to humans. The new coronavirus is just the latest example of these threats.
The CDC’s program focuses on infectious diseases ranging from foodborne illnesses to anthrax and Ebola. It manages laboratory, epidemiologic, analytic and prevention programs, and collaborates with state and local health departments, other federal government agencies, industry and foreign ministries of health.
In 2018, Trump tried to cut $65 million from this budget – a 10% reduction. In 2019, he sought a 19% reduction. For 2020, he proposed to cut federal spending on emerging infectious and zoonotic diseases by 20%. This would mean spending $100 million less in 2020 to study how such diseases infect humans than the US did just two years ago.
Many don’t get or have “ sick pay “ ...... but PENCE pushes prayer.
Get rid of the “ TRUMP VIRUS “ .... in November.
That “ scorched earth “ scenario some of you mentioned is here.

This thread has mostly fallen into shit posting but this is a good post.
it's much worse than we've been told...There are some good studies out on the prevalence of asymptomatic cases. This is very useful info and in particular, I found the Nishiura et al study to be pretty solid. Basically, they tested every single Japanese evacuee from Wuhan and came up with a number of confirmed virus positive individuals and then figured out who had symptoms. So these are the people who would likely not have been tested had they not been actual evacuees. Furthermore, some of the symptomatic individuals only experienced mild symptoms and would likely also have been underdiagnosed.

I believe it's more correct to say they are finding out how bad it is as we go along, real science is open science, no secrets.
It would be safe to say that the mortality rate goes up when the hospitalization rate exceeds the capacity of the system and until more is known an abundance in caution and social distancing is required, indeed social distancing appears to mitigate things. Mortality rates will vary widely by country and will depend on response and other factors.
I posted a video by a British Doctor earlier tonight (does easy to understand public health updates) who had an email from a medical friend in the Philippines, said it's gonna be grim there, he mentions the philippines in the second of the two I posted together.
you did say 2% mortality rate?....what's not to panic?!
Does panicking help or make it worse? Look, I can't stop anyone from panicking and if the truth is alarming, so be it. No need for compounding it with BS though.
2% of the US population is not BS.....
We are at the point where we know what to do to "flatten the curve" in most countries at long last, social distancing and it will eventually have an impact on the mortality rate. Everybody's focus is on public health and mitigation, containment is long past in most places. This is being studied empirically on the fly, the art of medicine, ya do what works in a jamb. Double blind studies are being done too and it's gonna take more testing and time to crunch the numbers and format the statistics properly. There's some facts to discuss a lot of conjecture at this point.
Yes it is. Do you have a list of people who are going to die? No?
