If SF really still believes coronavirus is a major threat he is one dumb mothar fcuka.

Say this after you've twice tested positive for COVID-19.

Say this after you've twice tested positive for COVID-19.

I’ll say it after I’ve had it, which I did. No big deal- I’ve had influenza that was far more debilitating.

Coronavirus cases grow in more than 30 states as the U.S. sets a record for average daily cases

Coronavirus cases are growing in more than 30 states, based on a seven-day moving average, as governors in Florida and Arizona place a hold on their reopenings and Texas tightens restrictions once again.

As of Thursday, the nation's seven-day average of new Covid-19 cases increased more than 38% compared with a week ago, according to a CNBC analysis of Johns Hopkins University data, reaching a record high average of more than 33,000 daily new cases.

Cases were growing by 5% or more, based on the change in average new cases compared with last week, in 35 states across the country, including California, Florida, Georgia, Texas and Nevada. Those states were also among the 13 that hit record highs in their average number of daily new cases on Thursday.

Another factor that is watched carefully is hospitalizations, which can indicate how severe cases are in an area. This data can lag the number of new cases.

Hospitalizations from Covid-19 were growing in 15 states as of Thursday, according to a CNBC analysis of data compiled by the Covid Tracking Project.

While the rise in daily case numbers could reflect increased testing in certain locations, some states are reporting higher positivity rates. The positivity rate indicates the percentage of tests that come back positive in a specific region. Epidemiologists say this number can indicate how broadly the virus is spreading throughout a community.

On Friday, members of the White House coronavirus task force warned young people in states with rising case numbers that while they may not be at risk of serious illness, they could infect someone who is.

0.3% is 3 times worse than seasonal flu.

Armyofdumb and the "just flu" bros were both wrong.

lol....

Do I need to define the word "around" for you?? Fuck me... Some sharp ones on today...

0.3 is not around the same 0.1

300,000 dead is not around the same as 100,000 dead.

The toilet paper panic must be scrambling your brain or something cos you're pretty close to going full retard.

Seeing as we are both quoting a PERCENT mortality rate then I would say yes it is "around" the same....

0.1% for flu, in my post I stated 0.2-0.3. % for Coronavirus,

That's approx one death for every thousand infections for flu.... And two to three deaths every thousand for coronavirus, that's "around" the same mortality rate.

You can't even win when trying to argue semantics. Sad.

If these cases keep increasing I'm going to buy an extra box of Kleenex.

And that doesn’t even take into account the “generous” way COVID deaths are counted:

According to Prof Walter Ricciardi, scientific adviser to Italy’s minister of health, the country’s mortality rate is far higher due to demographics - the nation has the second oldest population worldwide - and the manner in which hospitals record deaths.


“The way in which we code deaths in our country is very generous in the sense that all the people who die in hospitals with the coronavirus are deemed to be dying of the coronavirus

“On re-evaluation by the National Institute of Health, only 12 per cent of death certificates have shown a direct causality from coronavirus, while 88 per cent of patients who have died have at least one pre-morbidity - many had two or three,” he says.

Do you think most people actually dying from flu, die because of flu or flu related complications?

5 states reported their highest number of coronavirus cases in one day

(CNN)At least five states reported their highest single day record of Covid-19 cases Friday, adding to the growing concern of case increases that has sent many states back-peddling on their reopening plans.

Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Tennessee and Utah all reported record daily cases, according to their state's health departments. And for Florida, which has been eyed as the possible next epicenter, that number reached 8,938 new cases in just one day.

And it is not just those states seeing rising numbers. The national number of daily coronavirus case reports reached a new high Friday as well at almost 40,000, according to data from Johns Hopkins University, and 33 states are currently seeing the number of new cases grow from the week before.

And at least nine other states have announced they are not moving ahead to the next phase: Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Idaho, Louisiana, Maine, Nevada, New Mexico and North Carolina.

Metropolitan areas across the US seeing exponential growth in cases means the nation will likely see a "dramatic increase" in the virus' trajectory, Dr. Peter Hotez, a professor and dean of tropical medicine at Houston's Baylor College of Medicine told CNN's Jim Scuitto.

"At least in the metro areas we've got people wearing masks now, the bars are closed and we've got some advocacy coming out of the county judge and the mayor," he said of Texas. "I don't know how much this will really slow this incredibly aggressive rise. It's like trying to stop a train coming down the tracks."

Yeah ,different countries count COVID-19 deaths in different ways. The Germans are a bit conservative in this respect;

"Germany counts deaths in care homes only if people have tested positive for the virus.
 Belgium, on the other hand, includes any death in which a doctor suspects coronavirus was involved.

The UK's daily figures only count deaths when somebody has tested positive for the virus, but its weekly figures include suspected cases.

Also, does the virus need to be the main cause of death, or does any mention on a death certificate count?
Again, different countries do things differently. So, are you really comparing like with like?"

New York, the epicentre of the virus in America, was the first to count presumptive Coronavirus deaths  (the patient was included in the death-toll,  even though they didn't test positive for Coronavirus) and other states followed New York's lead:


"New York City has made a devastating revision to its already massive coronavirus death toll.

On Tuesday, the city's health department released a revised COVID-19 death count that included those who were not tested but were presumed to have died from the disease. That added an additional 3,700 people, bumping the city's total count well over 10,000 coronavirus fatalities.

New York City was already the epicenter of coronavirus spread both in the U.S. and the world, reporting well over 7,000 verified COVID-19 deaths on Monday. These 3,700 additional deaths mark a massive 17 percent increase to the national death toll, putting it over 26,000, The New York Times notes.

The previous death count only included people who had tested positive for COVID-19, but New York City's health department had been recording presumptive cases, the Times reports. "In the heat of battle, our primary focus has been on saving lives," Mayor Bill de Blasio's press secretary said, but de Blasio moved to release the additional data after a series of weekend briefings.

Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, and Ohio have all recently moved to start reporting presumptive COVID-19 deaths."

Yes, because populations never go beyond 1000 people. Who cares about a mortality rate 3 times as big as the other?

Does anyone here personally know anyone (under the age of 75) that has died from this?...

I don't.

Aside from 2.people on getbig i dont even know anyone who knows anyone who had it or even knows of anyone who has had it.
