CDC Director: Coronavirus Death Toll Will Be ‘Much, Much, Much Lower’ than Projected

a reply to: Scepticaldem

The death rate is calculated on the number of cases and deaths not the total population. Even if 90% of the entire population doesn't need hospitalization, that other 10% is a whole lot of people.

33M with the current 33/66 death rate would be much higher than the 100K+ predicted now and even that is 3 times higher than the inflated flu numbers.

What are you talking about?

10,000 deaths in the U.S. is .0004% of the population

33/66.....

Get off it

The CFR isn't calculated based on the entire population. Can't make it any simpler than that.

So you can calculate that 10,000 Americans out of 330,000,000 is .0004% right?

And the CDC says CFR for flu is 0.1% although it supposedly kills 36K. According to you it should be .003%

Obviously they are not using the same maths that you are.

Maybe you should wait a little to see how this pans out.

Of course you could always make it and then call all the numbers fake or whatever. Not sure what it will provide other than backslapping among the naysayers.

What is your math on 10,000 out of 330,000,000 people?

Come on? What kind of math you got?

Should I make a wall of shame?

It will get pulled.

Just go into the threads that the hysterics made their claims and ask them what they think now.

Prediction: *crickets chirp* *tumbleweed rolls past*

That would be a very bad idea.

The reason should occur to you with a little thought.

It isn't that because the CFR isn't calculated based on the whole population.

If the CDC calcs don't match yours then that means you are calculating wrong.

Ok!

10,000 out of 330,000,000 is how much?

That will only work if the virus vanishes in the next couple of weeks.

Could happen.

a reply to: Scepticaldem

Doesn't matter because that isn't how the CFR is calculated.

If you can't grasp that by know then this is pointless.

The CDC and WHO took in 6 billion dollars last year. They have yet to provide 1 "ventilator" to Coumo...

CFR is great but what is 10,000 out of 330,000,000?

It's going to happen when the number of deaths is far below the now reduced 60,000 number that is well below the previously reduced 200,000 which is even lower than then 2,000,000 number.

As I pointed out if you are going to go by that calc then you have to adjust the flu calc as well and when you do that then this virus is still worse.

By the way 10K/330M is .003% so even your .0004% is wrong.

So you are at .003% at this point....

Not if this thing plays out like some of the European countries that got hit pretty hard. Only time will tell.
