nCoV 2019-2020 Outbreak

Re: nCoV 2019-2020 Outbreak

I'm hearing COVID-19 mortality rates. That calculation is "deaths divided by infections".

But reports from WHO and CDC are that many infected are asymptomatic (or have mild symptoms attributable "flu season").

So how do you have a solid mortality calculation if you don't have an accurate denominator?

Should we be talking about mortality rates for verified infections?

Why does that matter?

Countries are in a position where that number will never matter if they can prevent it from becoming one of the number of flu viruses that are in the public domain. Why should we not peruse that total prevention???

That's really what makes me mad WRT OUR official reaction to this. We can be part of the prevention of it being just another flu that we all have to deal with, but instead of doing that, people like you question how deadly it really is- which then marginalizes the effort we could put into not getting into the public domain.

So stop that, and help prevent future economic problems due to X% population getting this every single year in the US.

Look, you can’t have a revolution without a plan. That’s how you end up with Napoleon.

Compost the rich, use the heirs to work the fields.

Stalin had a plan. That's one way to prevent counter-revolution for 70 years but I don't recommend it.

The whole idea here is not to have a revolution. I want a gentle evolutionary social transformation which also includes feeding the rich into an abattoir and repainting the Capitol Building with their blood, and I don't think that's asking too much.

Like a magician with his wand and anorexic blonde assistants - anything to distract.

Again, the whole crisis isn't about protecting the country's citizens from a pandemic, but protecting the stock market from tanking.

If astronomers warned of an asteroid that will obliterate all life on earth striking next week, the GOP would propose tax cuts for the rich to help combat it.

And defund NASA for emboldening the asteroid.
