Anatomy of a viral lie

[Pete F.]

I read it.

Feel free to keep believing.

South Korea and USA had first case on the same day.
Now SK 8961
USA 45,346
Progression doesn't care about your total population, it can only be stopped by a concerted effort.
It did not happen here.
South Korea was able to pull-off one of the lowest death rates without a lockdown, because of what? MASS TESTING!!!! Testing leads to early detection which is the key to effective treatment.

And yes, the President is responsible for his administration's actions and lack thereof.

While we are at it, now we are planning to give the guy who bankrupted a casino, whose partners wouldn't let get his hands on the cash and no banker would loan money to control of half a Trillion dollars.

Soon we will find out how many people Trump* is willing to kill for the DOW because it sure sounds like Trump* and Pence aren't planning for their social distancing plan to extend beyond 15 days.

Pete....updated March 24 using worldometers

SK has 9,037 cases and 120 deaths 1.32%
US has 48,168 cases and 582 deaths 1.204%

if you claim that SK had tested "massively" more .....then those case numbers should pretty accurate and if you claim that we have thousands of cases running around yet untested our % should be an even lower number...

try to make sense , I know it's difficult in these challenging times

How does that possibly make sense?
With dates roughly the same:
South Korea has tested 6109 people per million out of about 52 million.
USA has tested 339 per million out of 327 million.

Death rates are only reasonably certain as historical records, not determinable until you can determine how many people actually had the disease.
Start with one case, and there is no reason to believe that when it was discovered there was only one case. Take a guess from there as to how many people are infected in the US.
Currently the Ro is not determined for the US, it is dependent on a number of factors, duration, opportunity, probability and subseptibility.

I didn't say I believe it,(afterall, it is on the internet)but in my opinion the people making decisions are giving us all a better chance than if Clinton was behind the desk sipping a glass of wine. I'm trying to be positive and keep myself away from others. The situation is fluid and will get under control eventually, life has to go on and we can't bankrupt the world. Monday morning quarterbacking is not helping that I know of.
