6 months later, The Numbers Tell us Much

[calamity]

United States Coronavirus: 6,828,301 Cases and 201,348 Deaths - Worldometer

Behind the numbers:

The four biggest states have the most cases--in order.

Small states like AZ, GA, AL and TN did poorly

California is doing better than Texas, as both states have nearly identical numbers of cases and deaths but Cali has 10 million more people.

Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi have the most cases per capita.

NY, NJ and MA probably over-counted their COVID deaths....Louisiana, RI and Connecticut too perhaps.

Average number of deaths per million is actually low: 600, a little over 1 person out of 1500.

Average number of cases in the US is 21 per 1000--that's basically 1 person out of 50.

Deaths per active cases is roughly 3%

Deaths per day is holding steady at roughly 1000 (w/ 350M people, that's 1 death per 350,000).

Number of new cases has been trending down, from peaks around 75,000 to the 40's today.

In addition: a whole year of our lives wiped out.

At a time when as pandemics go the numbers should have bottomed out by this time, but not at a rolling 30-day avg of 40K new cases and almost 900 new deaths per day for the richest country in the world that has a healthcare system at the bottom ranks of the developed nations while in the highest ranks of the new COVID case/death per million pop. being prepared by rabid supporters to reelect a Public Health Threat-in-Chief president by any means surreptitious or obviously illegal imaginable.

 

[Common Sense 1]

China is fully responsible for the coronavirus pandemic
They lied about what was happening on the ground in China for months.
They would not accept help once it was known to contain it.
They allowed it to move across the world.
They Silenced whistle blowers who tried to warn the world what was coming!

It it seems that the WHO worked with China for devious reasons.....






-Silenced whistleblowers who sounded alarm

Nope. US is undercounting deaths. Last excess death studies peg overall undercounting at around 30,000 I believe, but I looked a while ago.

For those who are actually in a position to do something about the spread of the Covid-19 viral pandemic, what's most important is a consistent protocol for the determination of whether a death is Covid-19 assigned and whether a person is or is not infected. The data of interest is in the trends rather than the absolute numbers. If that same protocol holds for other nations, so much the better. Differences between nations can be investigated with an eye to improving procedures.

Regards, stay safe 'n well. Remember the Big 3: masks, hand washing and physical distancing.
