Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire This Covid $hit is serious!

I'm starting to miss the presidents daily briefings. We watched everyone in it's entirety.

That's how people go straight to the top

This has links to all the tabulated CDC dat.

I suspect Poobah forgot to move his decimal when he converted to a percentage. Here in CO our confirmed deaths as a percentage of population is 0.015%.

The point being that quarantining anyone who tests positive, even if they are asymptomatic, might limit the further spread.

I think that we should go for herd immunity and accept 1,000,000 deaths, but I'm indifferent to human death as long as it doesn't impact me or my family.

With all due respect that sounds like total bullschit.

Excess Deaths Visualization

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm

Fox news reports 68,326.

But then, to be truthful, I believe any of these numbers about as much as the Chinese #s.

0.0011% is a small number, 3,630 of the entire 330,000,000 American population, assuming that 0.000011 is the same as 0.0011%.

I'm good with a fatality rate of 0.3%.

Reporting from "The Hill" says 90% where asymptomatic, sounds like there were a few symptomatic cases.

Howard Hughes pulled it off, so can you.

The CDC says 38k...... seems everyone is playing loose with the numbers

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/index.htm

So were the Chinese numbers high, or low?

If it wasn't a million plus it means nothing.....

Do you know how to read footnotes?

NOTE: Number of deaths reported in this table are the total number of deaths received and coded as of the date of analysis and do not represent all deaths that occurred in that period. The United States population, based on 2018 postcensal estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau, is 327,167,434.

*Data during this period are incomplete because of the lag in time between when the death occurred and when the death certificate is completed, submitted to NCHS and processed for reporting purposes. This delay can range from 1 week to 8 weeks or more, depending on the jurisdiction, age, and cause of death.

1Deaths with confirmed or presumed COVID-19, coded to ICD–10 code U07.1

2Percent of expected deaths is the number of deaths for all causes for this week in 2020 compared to the average number across the same week in 2017–2019. Previous analyses of 2015–2016 provisional data completeness have found that completeness is lower in the first few weeks following the date of death (<25%), and then increases over time such that data are generally at least 75% complete within 8 weeks of when the death occurred (8).

3Pneumonia death counts exclude pneumonia deaths involving influenza.

4Influenza death counts include deaths with pneumonia or COVID-19 also listed as a cause of death.

5Deaths with confirmed or presumed COVID-19, pneumonia, or influenza, coded to ICD–10 codes U07.1 or J09–J18.9.

If the death toll in China with 1.4 billion people didn't hit a million plus is all you need to know..... they live in filth with extreme population density, the perfect breeding ground for a deadly pandemic.
Maybe "covid" isn't so deadly?
Maybe the panic over "covid" is deadly?
Maybe the panic was created by people with agendas?

I don't need no stinkin footnotes from Academic bureaucrats...... ymmv
The numbers are phony , that's the point

I would have expected the CDC numbers to be higher than actual, since they relaxed their usual standards for cause of death diagnoses.

CDC basically told physicians that they can code COVID-19 is they think that it was a factor, regardless of an actual positive test or consideration of any underlying previously diagnosed health conditions. As long as healthcare organizations are getting a higher rate of reimbursement for a COVID-19 diagnosis, they will code the highest paying diagnosis.

When I worked for a large healthcare provider, we had algorithms tailored for each insurance carrier that allowed us to maximize the reimbursement opportunities. That was 30 years ago, so I'm sure that healthcare providers have much more sophisticated systems now.
