Law Coronavirus the US GOV'T Response analysis Thread

[luckyshot]

I debunked this already:

During an outbreak of a novel or emerging infectious agent such as SARS, one of the most important epidemiologic quantities to be determined is the case fatality ratio—the proportion of cases who eventually die from the disease. This ratio is often estimated by using aggregate numbers of cases and deaths at a single time point, such as those compiled daily by the World Health Organization during the course of the SARS epidemic (5). However, simple estimates of the case fatality ratio obtained from these reports can be misleading if, at the time of analysis, the outcome is unknown for a nonnegligible proportion of patients. The estimates obtained during the SARS epidemic by dividing the number of deaths by the total number of reported cases were much lower (3–5 percent during the first few weeks of the global outbreak) than those obtained when appropriate statistical techniques were used and varied significantly between countries (6–8). Furthermore, as the epidemic progressed, these statistically naïve estimates falsely suggested a rise in the case fatality ratio (9), fueling the already high levels of public alarm in the affected populations.

exact same estimates can be found for H1N1, a mild flu

The pandemic flu bug is far more likely to strike younger people. But when people aged 50 and older get hospitalized with H1N1 swine flu, their case-fatality rate is the highest of any group: 18% to 20%.

it's fuzzy math based on presumptions. A colorful chart makes 0 difference.

My step brother works in an old folks home, several co-workers are on vacation , one is returning tomorrow after six weeks in Thailand , the guy is coming straight from the airport into work .

This can't be a good idea , should there be a mandatory two weeks of isolation from anyone returning from overseas ?

That sounds extreme but is there a better idea ?

He should be quarantined off the plane or barred from re-entry.

Trump is basically in Panic Wrestling Mode right now. If it could not potentially cost people their lives it would be funny.
Quit campaigning and just try and be The President.
Total difference when my governor Ron Desantis gave his update. His was full of information and portrayed strength and calm.

Trump, when asked about the slow response and flaws with the Conona virus test, said, and I quote, "Our response, the test was perfect, just like the phone call was perfect, a perfect phone call with a foreign leader."

I guess when you have no response you post clever images.

This entire thing has been a cluster of epic proportions.

Even we get out of this mess with little damage, it will be business as usual the next day.

Well I can tell you his co-workers aren't happy .

They should whoop his ass.

I'm not crapping on your HC or anyone's. I'm pointing out you are changing what happened. And obviously are a very political animal

What happened to you would ba considered SHIT service in the states. That is certain though

I didn't change a damn thing , I posted my experience as accurately as I could , if it had been a shitty experience that's what I would have described , the only possible thing someone could take issue with was that it took a couple of days longer than they said to get the test results back .

Woe is me

could have used these guys.

 

[KeepItRealist]

could have used these guys.

They were worthless. Nothing would be different. What were they going to tell Trump to do? Institute a travel ban?

 

[zebby23]

100% this.

 

[zebby23]

could have used these guys.

Is there anything he touches that doesn’t turn to pure shit?

 

[zebby23]

What is Biden’s policy to address covid19 besides personal responsibility and Trump bad?

 

[zebby23]

You should have listened. He had policies and he addressed all the questions. Trump knows more than the doctors. Trump and Hannity are the resident experts.

Ignorance is bliss I suppose
