U.S. Coronavirus Death Toll Curve Passes China As Trump Claims Mortality Rate Is 'Way Down'

[guillaumeb]

From the article:

During his daily propaganda briefing at the White House on Thursday, Donald Trump bragged about the coronavirus mortality rate in the United States being “way, way down,” despite troubling new data.
“The mortality rate is … in my opinion, it’s way, way down,” Trump said. “You know, it’s one thing to have it. It’s another thing to die.”
Trump’s comments come as the number of American coronavirus deaths climbed past 1,200.

2. Soon the numbers will be nearly zero.

Luckily for him, 38% of US voters are nearly as uninformed and racist as he is.

4. China's death toll is still double that of the US

(about 3,292 vs. 1,607 on Worldometer right now), unless you count deaths per million population.

7. They are speaking of the increase curve.

13. Thanks - I read too fast. (nt)

14. Check back at the end of July

First case in China, November 17, 2019. They're four months plus into it.

First case in US landed at SeaTac January 15, 2020.

Or you could do it this way:

As of January 26, about 9 weeks into the China outbreak, they were reporting 56 deaths (yeah, yeah, Chinese coverup and all--but, as you note they're now fessing up to 3,292).

As of March 27, about 9 weeks into the US outbreak...well, you gave us that number.

15. We'll sadly likely get there before then.

It took us only a few weeks to get halfway there, and the US is not doing what the Chinese did: extreme quarantine in Hibei, and fast testing and tracking in the rest of the country.

5. Mortality rate?

Do you really think he has a clue about that?

[guillaumeb]

6. Do you think that Trump has a clue about anything?

No need to answer.

8. 1581 deaths as of right now. Way up from even this morning.

over 101657 positive tests 8pm est John Hopkins numbers

9. It is obvious that many people do not understand how the number of people exposed

can rise exponentially as more people are infected.

[Marrah_Goodman]

11. We are in very big trouble

Without testing and quarantining the numbers are going to keep climbing faster and faster. We have no clue about what the R0 (reproductive number) is.

[guillaumeb]

12. Agreed.

And Trump simply ignores anything that reflects badly on him, or lies about it. But the virus is not listening.

[Johnny2X2X]

10. 1694 deaths. 374 today so far.

This is spiraling out of control.
