Right now, the US is at the same number of Coronavirus infections that Italy was 11 days ago before it spiked.

There’s currently about 9200 infected in Italy as of yesterday.

So that’s the number. 9200 confirmed cases in the US by 3/21.

US has 375,000,000 population Italy 60,500,000. You need to increase your estimate by a factor of 6.
That would be about 55000 INFECTED!

In Italy, 462 out of a population of 60,000,000 is 0.0007% dead. Effectively zero.

9,172 or 0.0001528% out of that same population are infected. Also effectively zero.

Of course, when

As I’ve said, you neee to put numbers in context.

Us are less healthy, the death toll will be much higher.

I understand that there’s a bigger population in US. I was trying to establish a relative baseline to compare infection growth to.
My point is: if we’re below 9200 on 3/21, then the rate of infection is very slow compared to other outbreaks.

Your Point is MOOT, Our CURRENT GOVERNMENT will ONLY LIE to us about it anyway.

Our past and future government will lie as well!

You need to consider the rate of testing also.

Did any of you catch (pun intended) what Angela Merkel said today?

"60 to 70 percent of people in Germany will become infected with the corona virus," said Chancellor Merkel

If we had 100,000 tests performed, we'd be at 9200+ cases already. And how many people have already died without it being attributed to the coronavirus because they were never tested?

As of today, the nursing home in Seattle, WA that has had the most deaths, "doesn't have the kits it needs to test 65 employees with symptoms of the deadly bug, a spokesman for the facility said."

We can't even test in the hardest hit area of America. But according to the President if you want a test, you can have a test.

Surprisingly...that's the exact number for unrecognized QR codes for NJ Uber drivers on the same exact date.
Bizarre.

Confirmation bias -- a phenomenon where people strongly favor information that reinforces their existing opinions over contradictory ones. This is real and everyone should be aware that we all are susceptible to it.
FYI Virginia Tech study : https://eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2019-12/vt-srt121719.php

The pneumonialike virus has infected more than 78,000 people and killed 1,875. So far, the virus appears to be more contagious but less deadly than SARS. Whereas the latter had a mortality rate of 9.6%, only 2.3% of people infected with the new coronavirus have died. "

Here is the latest count in the virus. Bear in mind that the US has a reported population of 327 million (obviously not counting illegals).

Here is an article that is a medical study from England. It has some interesting points regarding COVID-19 and the effects of the new society and the lack of human interaction due to social distancing.

Any number you post is inaccurate because it can take up to 14 days to show symptoms. The cases are going up geometrically and will continue to rise. No driving for moi. Not worth it.
