TRUMP SAYS coronavirus death rate at WHO/US is fake! He declares it as 1%

Really? So yesterday's post I made about 136 known cases, 9 dead in US is 'fake' at at about 6-7%? I was PSYCH major but that's pretty simple math to me. (I haven't seen TODAY'S #). I understand he was on Hannity last night giving his 'theories'.

Trump is wrong; based on your data it is actually 6.6%. Far less than the HiN1 that Obama ignored for SIX months.

Total cases: 136
Total deaths: 9

Worldwide it is 3.4%

As of 5 March 2020, more than 96,000 cases have been confirmed
3,300 people have died

So, ... NOT testing is the 'Smart Move'.

You know, I'm tempted to start a Thread on this, but no one would believe you actually said that. (Un-fucking-believable)

Keeps the NUMBERS DOWN!

Besides, just think. More old people will die if not tested and possibly treated. Think of all the MEDICARE, Social Security and MEDICAID that will be saved. Win. Win.

The only way to get a solid denominator is to test 90% of everyone who has had the flu since the December.

And since it’s impossible to accurately estimate the mortality rate without a good denominator then it basically becomes a guessing game—it’s why the numbers are all over the lot.

But, based on *observation* it’s safe to assume a low mortality rate because death from Corona is nearly exclusively occurring in the same population that is in danger from the common flu. The vast majority of healthy individuals get flu like symptoms [perhaps none at all in kids] and go on their way

So, Trump is very likely right. Ironically, if the panicked lefties want to prove him right—get those test kits out.

We do not know the rate in America. The only way to find it is by lots of testing. That is called collecting data. Trump's idea that people should goi to work because most will recover, is dangerous. It is true that most will recover, but going to work will spread it to those the worker works with and the people they encounter. Some of them may die. Trump is suggesting an idea that doctors are dead against. But downplaying it is helpful to him. That is all he cares about.

Every domestic flight?

Every boat on every lake on every river?

Should we shut down the port of New Orleans? Should Trump have cancelled Mardi Gras? Would that please you?

We will never know the “true” rate as this has likely been here since December. You can’t go back and test people.

But hey fuck it. Test everyone in the country and prove me right

Other countries are testing masses of people. They have real statistics. Trump says they are wrong. That works for people like you.

Trump to Hannity on WHO saying coronavirus death rate is 3.4%: "I think the 3.4% number is really a false number. Now this is just my hunch, but based on a lot of conversations ... personally, I'd say the number is way under 1%."

Astoundingly irresponsible.

The problem with your 'math' is that you are using bad data to assess the mortality rate. The mortality rate cannot be known until more complete data is available. The odds of this actually having a mortality rate north of 1% are low. The weak/mild cases are typically not reported or are under reported. Thus, looking at 'known' cases to determine mortality rate is quite simply bad math.
