But I bet you are going to find the mortality rate is the same as any other flu.

Really, you think so? The CDC announced today the death rate for seniors from COVID-19 is 16%

“Didn’t the first outbreak there happen in a nursing home?”

I believe many of the cases here are linked to that WA nursing home.

But, yeah, hopefully this doesn’t happen in other facilities elsewhere - nursing homes and hospitals would be disaster areas if they become infected.

Just heard that someone in North Carolina came down with it after having had some kind of contact with this same WA nursing home.

Or the legions of you are.

But when you go to concerts, restaurants, or sporting events and someone coughs, you won’t think a thing of it.

Until your parents get sick and die from your exposure.

Right now the mortality rate here in Washington exceeds that of Spanish Flu.

I bet you don’t live in this state.

80,000 deaths from regular flu vs less than ten in the US? Get real; you’re like those panic mongers of the left/Demirats.

In a couple of weeks a bunch of folks here will be demanding a quarantine of metro Seattle.

Count on it.

At that point it won’t matter whether there is a quarantine or not.

PS: it’s all media hype since they’ve nothing better out there than to panic people such as yourself.

The numbers are always going to skew to a high mortality rate. Lots of people will get mild cases, recover, think they got the flu and never report it. Unless you can have 100% testing stats are pretty much useless.

I think this is bull squat. The fatality rate has been around 2% all along. Now they want us to believe 9 out of 25 died? I don’t trust government statistics in this country any more than I do in China.

As of 03/02/2020 23:33 PST

These numbers include Mainland China and All Others globally

90,937 declared cases
03,117 declared deceased
48,054 declared recovered
51,171 declared resolved
39,766 remaining active cases

The mortality rate at this time was deceased / deceased + recovered = 6.09%.
That is a fluid number that is now dropping at the rate of about 0.25% per day.
Due to the rapid increase in cases outside China, and the short period they
have had to reach the recovery phase, this mortality rate is slowing in it's
retreat. It may reach a point soon where it will start climbing again.

On 03/02 93.29% of all new cases were being reported outside of Mainland
China. At the same time, the outside China active cases only cover 24.23% of
remaining active cases. For the short term, recoveries from Mainland China
will overshadow the fresh cases outside Mainland China, but this active outside
Mainland China slice of the pie is growing by 4.4% per day.

51,171 cases have been decleared resolved, and that represents 56.271% of all
declared cases to date. (resolved = deceased or recovered)

Active cases fell by 1,164 today (03/02). This number fluctuates each day. So
far it is still declining. There are now 39,766 active cases. That is 19,043
cases fewer than the highest count of active cases at 15:13 PST on 02/17/2020.
That figure was 58,809.

The number of people who recovered today (03/02), was 2,959.

The big days of China's delcared cases are now over two weeks past, but don't
forget that over 75% of all active cases, still remain in Mainland China. This
means that China's numbers will still dominate when it comes to recoveries that
offset the rapidly growning numbers outside China. When it becomes near 50/50,
we may see a large active case growth figure return globally. Then again we
may see a large recovery figure develop outside Mainland China that will supress
the potential for active cases to mushroom numerically. We'll see.

These numbers address the cases outside of Mailand China.

10,786 declared cases
00,173 declared deceased
00,792 declared recovered
00,965 declared resolved
09,821 remaining active cases

At this point only 11.86% of all declared cases exist outside Mainland China.
(eod: 03/02)

Here's what that figure was going back in two day increments. (End Of Day figures

02/29 08.23%
02/27 05.48%
02/25 03.63%
02/23 02.78%
02/21 01.77%

The current mortality rate of deceased / deceased + recovered is 18.60%. That
figure is grosely high, and should not be used for purposes of extrapolation
of what lies ahead. It takes serveral weeks for people to be infected, and recover.
That gives the deaths a head start. As in the large body of cases above, this
mortality rate will decline, and will pick up speed as the recovery rate outside
Mainland China reaches it's full potential. That will take another week or so.

There are now 9,821 active cases outside of Mainland China. The number of
active cases grew 1,514 cases today, and that was a rate of 18.43%. (eod 03/02)

There are now 78 nations declaring cases within their borders. 1+

Three nations of the 77 nations or entities outside of Mainland China
account for over 75% of all active cases outside China at this time.

4,812 44.61% South Korea
2,036 18.88% Italy
1,501 13.92% Iran

77.41% of all cases ourside of China...

These are clearly three break-out naitons. The next possible hot spots:

France
Germany
Netherlands
Norway
Spain
Switzerland

I did not include the United States in this list, but it is on my radar. It hasn't
doubled it's cases in short order, but it is showing steady growth. It does have
the potential to show up on the next list of who to watch.

(based not only on current numbers, but the velocity at which they are adding new
numbers. ex. A nation with few numbers, can grow them exponentially if they are
currently demonstrating significant percentage growth already.)

One other rather interesting thing I noticed over the last five days or so...

I noticed a lot of new nations swarming to report their first cases. Some of these
nations weren't what you'd expect to see experiencing a lot of international travel.

It almost looks like a concerted effort to involve as many nations as possible in
short order.

death rate for seniors from COVID-19 is 16%

And the death rate for all Americans is 100%. What do you think the death rate for influenza is for seniors?
