Harbinger of doom here, but, she knows her stuff: (need to learn to post pics like you cool kids do )
⚠️As predicted, the number of #coronavirus cases in US is exploding with greater acceleration than *any* other country with this many cases.

More #COVID19 testing is revealing the huge number of cases with more still to come.
Expect a MASSIVE surge thru the next few weeks. pic.twitter.com/nVQvCAF8ZwI'm just here for the hockey...

Re: Covid 19
Originally posted by DrDemento View PostLes: Thanks for the clarifying statistics. These are probably the best we can use for the time being. But, none of these may stand the test of time as we start to see the results of more widespread testing. All the mortality and morbidity rates are using the number of people who test positive as the denominator and we just have no idea as yet what that number may well turn out to be. i expect we may find that these percentages go down sharply once we see how many in our general population test positive and have little or no symptoms or have fully recovered from what they might have felt was a head cold and cough or an attack of tree pollen allergy. This is not to diminish the seriousness of what is happening. This is one side of the coin.
The other side, and perhaps more ominous to even think about, is what happens down the road, months from now, perhaps a year from now with this virus. One scenario could be it disappears quickly with the warm humid weather, or with some treatment that we devise for it. Another scenario is that is disappears and then reappears again when the summer ends and regular influenza and other virus seasons start up again. Personally, if pushed hard, I think we are going to see some sort of peak incidence fairly soon. Then, as the country and the world comes back to a more normal state, everyone resting on their laurels and congratulating each other for a job well done, we find that we have entered into a period of time where we find that we might have to just deal with this bugger forever (sort of like the flu) and have to devise new and different vaccines and/or medications every so often just to maintain whatever control we can exercise. After all, how many viral diseases to we ever really conquer totally (eradicate)?? This should be a wake up call and i fear that it may not be. We may be just scratching the surface of infectivity and contagion now that we live in a world of air lines that can get anyone with any disease anywhere in the world in a few hours. To quote a famous movie line from the movie THEM! (And I paraphrase a bit) "We may be at the end of the beginning of what could turn out to be the beginning of the end for us."

Originally posted by DrDemento View PostThank you - now please tell my wife! Just kidding, if she sees this post i am a dead man regardless of whether i test positive for this thing or not!Originally posted by DrDemento View PostInteresting post - I have been following a slightly different set of statistics. i have been watching the positive tests per 1 million population for each country and a second set of deaths per 1 million population for each country. i find this, for now, the most informative. There is an obvious caveat however. Suppose a man dies of heart attack or a cerebral bleed at age 88, and we find incidentally that that he was corona virus tested positive. Should he be included as a death from Corona Virus or not?? Serious question since so many of the deaths that occur are in very elderly, otherwise ill, people (a large majority being men and not women except for South Korea). As a physician I would like to know a little bit more of a breakdown and be sure that the deaths are indeed CAUSED by Covid-19 and not just occurring in patients who just happen to have a positive blood test.
