Re: Is Coronavirus a biological weapon?
I'm not quite sure what those images and figures are supposed to show? UK all cause mortality shows no excess. We've got 500 deaths in the UK. Stick 500 deaths on the expected and that might mean something, maybe, possibly? Also factor in no one is going anywhere or doing anything so being robbed of the opportunity of getting killed in much cooler ways. I'm guessing the general gist is nothing doing here, no one is dying to excess? I'm not sure if that's the case or if it matters.
The CDC one. I'm no statistician or mathematician but US figures
Flu (lowest number) 23000 deaths, 38000000 cases = 0.06 mortality rate. The 38000000 is estimated.
Corona 1177 deaths, 82177 cases = 1.43 mortality rate. The 82177 are confirmed cases.
The mortality rate for Corona Virus is significantly higher.
Is the argument here that more people get flu therefor more people die? True, over all. I'll be honest, I've only looked at a dozen or so weekly reports so I'm probably off base. The number I was seeing was around 11-12000 confirmed cases of flu per week nationwide. When was the first case of corona Virus in the US? Start of March? lets say 4 weeks ago? And now 82000 confirmed cases, 20000 per week.
P4P, corona kicks flu's ass.
Again I'm no stato, probably got all that wrong but meh, we're all board, killed a bit of time. I said the same thing early doors, Pah!! it's interim flu.
When God said to the both of us "Which one of you wants to be Sugar Ray?" I guess I didnt raise my hand fast enough
