If that figure (90k) is credible Niman would have tweeted it


How would he know the number of dead in China?
Does he speak Chinese?
Does he have access to Chinese medical records in the quarantined cities?

He only knows what the media reports of what is happening in China.

No, it makes the number absurd.
People in other countries with the disease are being treated successfully.

Why would it downplay the mortality rate?

If you give medication that works, the mortality rate would go down.

Post 32 does not in any way conflict with what I posted.
Wuhan is the epicenter, but the disease is not confined to that province. Wuhan also hosts eleven million. Four an a half million would be about forty one percent of the population.

People in China are being treated successfully too. These numbers represent two people dying out of a hundred. 98 percent recovery rate is still being treated successfully.

You realize there are people on this thread who think that the mortality rate is 10 times what you’re saying.?

btw - the latest mortality rate is estimated about 3%.

Those are 2 other possibilities .


The third possibility is, of course, you are in denial. There are multiple similar reports from other people, if you speak Chinese, including those reports showing piles of dead bodies in hospitals.

Americans will just have to experience this for themselves to see what happens when hospitals, clinic etc are overwhelmed - we will know in a week or so when the incubation period ends for the returned

That’s because they look at the number of dead and divorce that from the number who caught the disease.

People are disregarding the real possibility that the mortality rate in Wuhan could be much higher than anywhere else because it is the epicenter & they were slow to address the situation and people aren’t getting the care they would in other countries.
So, in other countries, it may never be any more deadly than the current flu season cases.

It’s not denial. It’s logic & reason.
I’m sorry those concepts are beyond you at this time.

Read all the articles. From the beginning in has been reported that the disease had a two percent mortality rate. The inverse of two percent mortality is ninety eight percent survival rate.
