How do we have so many cases but so few deaths compared to Italy? Did it just hit super hard in retirement communities?
If I'm not mistaken, the regions hit hard in Italy contained a lot more elderly / at risk people.

That would be a good outcomeWe are so screwed... so incredibly screwed.
We are going to hit 200k-300k cases easily.

Once this becomes more of a widespread story, it will give the governors some ammo to push back.He's going to put pressure on governors to to it... and then blame them when the shit hits the fan.
Reality itself is being payed by Soros and Obama to create circumstances that smear me! ~TrumpPersonally I'm maintaining a countdown until Trump tweets about the liberal mainstream medical community overhyping the virus to threaten his re-election
Also the liberal mainstream mayors and governors continuing lockdowns after he tries to open the country to hurt his re-election
And also the liberal mainstream virus protein bundles getting people sick to hurt his re-election
We are so screwed... so incredibly screwed.
We are going to hit 200k-300k cases easily.
RIP Florida
We're probably already past thatWe are so screwed... so incredibly screwed.
We are going to hit 200k-300k cases easily.
I know everyone just wants to shit on how the US is handling it, but isn't the stats of infected per 1 million and deaths per 1 million a much more important stat? The US is way low compared to other places and the US is much bigger than most of those countries on the list in size and population. When you combine multiple European countries on the list, they come out way ahead in both of those stats. You may as well be supporting the notion that the Flu kills more people per year so Coronavirus isn't a big deal by comparison if you want to just look at total numbers instead of looking at the infection rate and the death rate of the two if you're going to look at total number of cases rather than how it compares per million people. I have no doubt we're going to get worse, but we're not close to being the worst right now.
I seriously think we're going to hit 3 million, a true 1% of the entire country.
I'm trying to be conservative with my numbers.do you know how exponential growth works? Infection numbers in Europe used to/are doubling every 2-3 days.That's what drove us to complete lockdowns in some countries and bans on meetings of 2 people or more in others. 200k cases is Happening by Monday in the us.
You need to keep in mind that the spread through Europe is essentially a week ahead of where the US is, and while their numbers have largely remained steady, ours are just increasing more and more. Italy, Spain, and Germany have been the main sources of new cases and they all max out daily at around 7k cases each, while proportionally testing way more than we do.I know everyone just wants to shit on how the US is handling it, but isn't the stats of infected per 1 million and deaths per 1 million a much more important stat?

Try 200 million or so, maybe more. Most people on the planet are going to catch this virus eventually, there's no stopping it. And that's not the goal either. The goal is to have it spread as slowly as possible, in order not to overwhelm hospitals with thousands and thousands of patients all at once.
But maybe you meant 3 million in the next few weeks?
USA is earlier on in the course of the spread. First case in Italy was January 1st, in USA it was 21st. Give it 20 days and then compare the numbers.I know everyone just wants to shit on how the US is handling it, but isn't the stats of infected per 1 million and deaths per 1 million a much more important stat?

- Numbers are really freshWhy is cnn saying the us is behind China during trumps briefing?
It's more of a vent thread than a real comparison, the US got hit later than other countries and numbers are hard to compare anyway because e.g. the fatality rate obviously only includes the actual dead, not the ones who are infected and will die and of course not the infected but not detected either. Exponential growth also means you're going to see different growth rates within a few days and a country being hit a few days later than another already completely changes its numbers and by next week the numbers are going to be completely different too. Plus different countries have/will hit their healthcare limits at different numbers at which point the death rate goes waaay up.I know everyone just wants to shit on how the US is handling it, but isn't the stats of infected per 1 million and deaths per 1 million a much more important stat?

I cannot believe it. USA USA LMFAO. So how long before Florida turns into Italy 2.0?
No fun allowed huh? Why do you hate America? I'm gonna need you to say the pledge of allegiance right now.I know everyone just wants to shit on how the US is handling it, but isn't the stats of infected per 1 million and deaths per 1 million a much more important stat?

Everyone needs to wrap their heads around this. Don't ever believe China. Ever. They sold 620K+ rapid covid testing kits to a European country with 20-30% accuracy.
Let me see the data we have...I cannot believe it. USA USA LMFAO. So how long before Florida turns into Italy 2.0?

It's like a lot of y'all want the deaths to start piling up. Lmfao? Ok.I cannot believe it. USA USA LMFAO. So how long before Florida turns into Italy 2.0?
That's the scary part. In a lot of places, there aren't even any real measures to curb this progress.
Even if they are number 1 we did a ridiculously bad job of reacting to it considering it started there the way they reacted is starting to look smarter than how our government has.
I thought I read recently that the US has fewer ICU beds/respirators/something per capita than a lot of other countries?One thing to note on the deaths in the US... whilst total infections are indeed a fairly meaningless stat, it is important to realise that it has meaning in terms of your health system capacity. Once you hit the point that you can no longer treat optimally (thankfully the US has a huge amount of ICU beds available), that's the point that deaths start to mount up.
So whilst the infections are largely irrelevant right now, they may have a large effect in a week or two.
I agree, it looks like Italy has the US firmly beat in the number of deaths. On the other hand, I wouldn't count out the Americans. If they put their minds to it, and let the virus spread unabated, they can achieve anything. 🇺🇸How do we have so many cases but so few deaths compared to Italy?
