CoronaVirus numbers are not adding up. Maybe you can enlighten me with the right numbers

Then we can't compare it to the flu anymore, because most people who get the flu don't go to the doctor.

I don't think the flu uses "recovered" as a metric... The assumption is if you live you recover...lol

Also true...have you taken a look at the new thread that shows the site that made the models all the states have been using to shut everything down over has been using inaccurate data from the get go. Now it seems our hospitals were never going to be overrun...wonder why certain people tried to skew the input data in the model to make things look more dire than they were?

Odd thought.. considering the complete and utter panic we have seen with numbers that would barely create a blip on a statistics chart maybe that's why they are so slow to test people.

Could you imagine the panic if we saw numbers like 2.5 million infected, we just might jump straight to mad max.

The virus takes weeks to recover from, if not longer. This could be part of the issue you are seeing. There is a lag.

American hospitals are already getting overrun. The new numbers are as good of a guess as the first numbers. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle. This is a new virus, we don't know much about it.

No they aren't...why would you even say that?

Actual proof of them being over run? Or just people saying they are going to be? Big difference

exactly!

We think the toilet paper extinction was bad?
Imagine if everyone got tested....there would be complete pandemonium in the streets.

I don't know about the numbers here but I read that China has lost 20 million land line and cell phone customers.

Because the MSM is always right, right? The local hospital I used to work at said they are doing ok so far with bed and capacity. Masks are in short supply like most others, but for serious cases their network of hospitals is doing well as of now.
