The death percentage just crept up a bit, though -- it had been remarkably steady at 6% of resolved cases (so only about 4% of all cases, but 6% of the cases that were resolved through either death or recovery) and is not at 7%.

Many countries seem not to be reporting the number of critical or serious cases. USA’s number has been stagnant for days. I think that statistic is not longer close to accurate.

That you think the statistic is not longer close to accurate is entirely your opinion. Which I can't place much weight into.

I have been watching the news very carefully and reading the reputable papers. No one (so far) is reporting a critical surge of hositalization. New York has 300+ positive people in the greater NYC region but the only hospitalization I can find a record of is the first man who came down with it three weeks ago and was in critical care. He hasn't died (yet) and it's now three weeks later. Almost all the hospitalization in Seattle are related to the one nursing home where the virus broke out.

This is very encouraging so far. All the deaths, outside the Seattle nursing home, are isolated cases here and there and not connected to a pattern (ie multiple people from the same family or same office).

Virginia has 30 cases and 10 are hospitalized, so your dismissal of the severity appears to be very wrong.

Virginia does NOT have 30 cases. They have 30 confirmed positive tests, based upon the extremely limited test criteria. They probably have more than 100 cases. Maybe up to 1000 cases. They aren't even reporting on the number of cases they've done, or even what the current lag time is.

US military brought coronavirus to Wuhan, Chinese diplomat claims

Well Spanish Flu did start in Kansas.

But this is probably tit for tat.

PR game- https://thehill.com/policy/international/487308-china-pushing-conspiracy-theory-us-army-bringing-coronavirus-wuhan?amp

China, pushing conspiracy theory, accuses US Army of bringing coronavirus to Wuhan

Yup. I said this days ago. After a statement like this, you’d think that the media would stop going after the President and realize where the real issues are. Nope.

The President, who stood next to a known person with Coronavirus and refuses testing?
The President who called this a hoax?
The President who told us it would magically disappear?

No matter anyone’s political opinion, he has lied to the country and caused us to be where we are today. Statements made by China can’t fix, explain or forgive any of The President’s actions/inactions.

Dr. Fauci has been clear the US failed it’s handling of this. That falls directly on our leadership.

+1 And thank goodness for Dr. Fauci, Trump and his non science believers need to go.

I believe as much as anyone US cases are severely under-counted, but it's a bit silly to criticize use of the confirmed numbers as PP did.

Those are the only solid numbers we have and trying to use estimates based on a myriad of different assumptions just leads to confusion.

I’m shocked.

It may make sense to test them. How many selfies have people taken with me in the past month? That would be zero. Compare that to the number of interactions Tom Hanks and NBA players have had with fans.

NP here, but I think that PP has a point. People don't realize that the reported numbers aren't the real numbers. They're taking that info and saying, well, we only have X-number of confirmed cases in my county, so I think we should keep schools open, keep mass gatherings, travel, etc. These artificially low numbers are preventing us from taking the necessary measures to flatten the curve. Americans are not good at math, and half the country loves our commander-in-chief. We are royally fcked if we don't explain that confirmed case numbers fall way, way below actual numbers.

You're misreading this thread.

Even if you're going by only the reported numbers, it's bad.

That's what makes it worse than the flu. I hope the effects aren't permanent.

Vaccine trials for a synthetic vaccine (made in a lab rather than out of actual weak or dead virus) is skipping the animal trial and going straight to human testing.

Only 13 in Ohio have tested positive, yet governor and health officials estimate at least 100,000 people in the state actually have it. So do the math for some of the states that have 100+ positive test results.
