Last I remember is that we needed some data from specific cities or counties to show the deaths increasing in proportion to the number of new cases found. Maybe you posted that but it got lost in all the unsubstantial portion between "you have never" and "disease is flawed."

It will be worse than that if we don't get the current spike under control.
Keep in mind this does not actually include residual deaths from cases prior adding to the total for that period, so I expect that to be perhaps low, unless some very drastic efforts* are made to stop the current progression of the virus.

Originally posted by oxmixmudd View PostI've already made predictions silly man. but if you want another one, somewhere between 2% (1/2 current %) and 4% (current %) of the new cases since the ramp up in mid June through the end of July will die by the end of August. A very rough value, assuming the current actions actually keep the peak from going any higher, we could assume 35,000 cases/day average for 45 days (mid june to july 31) is 1,575,000 -> somewhere between 31,500 and 63,000 new deaths by the end of August - or we will be looking at between 160,000 and 190,000 deaths by the end of August.

Stop hoping for people to suddenly collapse and die so that your numbers suddenly will work out as valid.
California has a stupid governor who has done nothing but hurt the state. Drastically stupid actions don't help anyone.
If you cannot show that increases in cases in California and Texas mean anything more than evidence that they are just testing more people, then show how the deaths have been increasing in the last month in a fashion proportional to the increases in cases. Otherwise you have Furgeson styled useless predictions of 2Million deaths in America. He got fired -- hey, but you are still here.Last edited by mikewhitney; 07-13-2020, 06:09 PM.

The ramp up is only just beginning.
You're a nut though, so, who really cares what you think as long as you don't harm others through your inaction.

That is nothing less that ad hom. You are attacking my character for simply reporting the truth. The virus has killed to date 4% of the the people diagnosed. This is simple reality, and it will continue because the virus is the virus - it does what it does. So - if we have 60,000 new cases reported today, somewhere between 1200 and 2400 of those people WILL die. There is nothing I can do about it. And it most certainly not something I want. But it is a reality. IF you actually care for, hope for, more people to live, then stop peddling misinformation about the virus.
California is running around 7500 cases/day. That is 150 to 300 people per day that will die from the virus. And it will only get worse if something isn't done to slow the spread of the virus.
And again, you clearly don't understand anything about what is happening wrt this virus.

Where have the greatest increases happened?
Even if I were a nut, you should be able to do this much investigation and proving of your concepts.

but seriously. If we see the death rates go greatly above the flu/influenza death rates of previous flu seasons for states beyond New York, then we may have to take things more seriously. The problem is that every time I check a panic headline, the numbers don't work out to epidemic levels.
Oops. I just checked this website: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/2018-2019.html
They show 0.06% death rate in the 2018-19 flu season.
California is at 7800/26Million (0.03%).
So there is a lot of catch up to do to make this as bad as last year flu season.
Please do the calculations instead of just reading the headlines. Life will be much prettier.Jorge: Functional Complex Information is INFORMATION that is complex and functional.

I guess we could all start wearing Burkas.
