I really like how they havn't been testing people who are asymptomatic so how the fuck would anyone know that there is a massive percent of asymptomatic carriers. They are only testing people who have severe symptoms and show up on an x-ray. Use your brain, where the fuck are all these scientifically proven asymptomatic carriers.
CONFIRMED MORTALITY RATE IN ITALY 29%!!!
Yeah but that doesn't give an accurate picture of how lethal the virus is until after its run has finished. It's a perfect way to calculate mortality after the fact, but it doesn't give us information about lethality during the exponential growth in spread.
mortality rate is about 0.5%-1% in the case of non collapsed medical systems
If its as deadly as you fuckers say it is I don't care.

Jesus Christ you DUMBASS, you're speaking of PROBABILITY. You can't calculate a known RATE with data that you don't HAVE.
I want to punch in your stupid fucking face right now
It's funny. People are pretty quick to point the finger at Donald Trump for, well, that asteroid that will hit us in a few months.
But realistically, his "leadership" is simply the natural consequence of a culture that is self-indulgent, fragile, narcissistic and easily distracted. This is our fault. All of us.
I find it astonishing that any journalist working right now would think that they have the moral authority to denounce Trump - they're all part of the system that created him. And they're all complicit.
It would be like running a fairly clever raccoon for office. Journalists would pretend to be alarmed by the circumstances (how could we be here?), but would jump right on the bandwagon of turmoil because that's their bread and butter, writing the same thing over and over: warning that the raccoon might start stealing jewelry and tipping over garbage cans - and THEN would write what they thought were sufficiently convincing denouncements of everything the raccoon got its claws into. But secretly they want to see what the raccoon will do next.
Inevitablism on my part? Sure.
In my mind, though, this is entirely a systemic issue that can't simply be "blamed" on one person or one party. If opponents of Trump are really that concerned, they should blow up some mailboxes or do something more productive than whining and hurling around rape accusations. Instead they're just feigning incredulity when they know they're every bit as much a part of the problem.
>The mainstream has been propping up the idea that we should calculate the mortality rate for COVID-19 by dividing the number of those who died from COVID by the number of confirmed cases. For instance, Italy has 9134 deaths, and 86498 cases. This would put their Confirmed Mortality Rate at around 11.6%.
That is the correct way to calculate mortality rate.

>We should instead calculate Confirmed Mortality Rate by dividing the current number of deaths by the number of confirmed cases 10 days ago.
As long as you only divide the dead for a period, against the number of diagnoses -that were made during that period- you still have a Case Fatality Rate. You just have the rate for a smaller period.
Doing this is completely pointless however.
Ackshilly, the correct mortality rate is deaths/completed cases. So deaths/(deaths+recoveries). Which, I am guessing is closer to 20%. Feel free to let us know.
Further, the correct mortality rate should be calculated based only on those who have received no medical treatment. While this is impossible, it will become the reality if the disease is not put in check. I suspect the real numbers from China and the numbers from Africa will show us this correct mortality rate.
