U.S. Coronavirus Death Toll - over/under 8000

[IMISREMEMBER 2,370]

All media outlets leading with corona virus"death toll", death rate. I have established unofficial RX odds for thread discussion. US only ends 12/31/20. Taking under for a dime of Scotts TP, and Drum of Purell Sanitizer.

a better question , how many deaths to justify shutting down the economy ..... for the record , doubt the death toll will be much different then the normal flu season... that drives TDS folks crazy.. but it is what it is

I would say they should work on being able to treat the ones that can be treated.

Make like 5 million ventillators, extra beds, cross our fingers and open back up.

Trump maybe right on this one (yes you read that correctly)if we wait too long that will present another set of serious problems

(stuff will need to be repaired, toilets will clog)

Vaccine can be ways away, cause apparently this thing is not only highly contageous(sp), it mutates as well. It has mutated already.
Its not going away, this thing will be a part of the "new normal" . They say that it can go back and forth between humans and animals (like dogs). So it will always be around

IMO, many folks on both sides that are struggling will complain about # of deaths if that figure is similar to normal flu

BUT, I think it is also safe to say we will never know the # of deaths had no quarantine been put in place..:think2:

So at the end of the day, the question will always remain, how many deaths are acceptable to not destroy the economy?

Its more contagious than the flu and 5-15 percent require serious care.

If say 100 million people get it (transmits more than the regular flu), you cant have 5-15 million deaths, especially if you could have saved them.

That needs to be prevented.

This is just not that bad or deadly of a virus.

You will not need 5 million ventilators.
Mob says millions will die.

Does anyone have any intelligence in this forum?

Absolutely clueless numbers. Come on man. Get serious...

No. I said millions would die if we did nothing like you guys are suggesting.


3% of 30 million is 900,000.


Multi Millions would die worldwide if we did nothing.

Also, if I were you I would not take a vaccine for this.

If 60 million get it here like the swine flu. That’s close to a couple million people here in the US dead. Not 12K.

Absolutely clueless numbers. Come on man. Get serious...

which number?

Say its twice as contagious as the flu in a year. How many will get it?
What percentage requires hospitalization? What percentage needs ventillators?
How many beds available for all the hospitals in the US combined?

I am willing change my statements if you show me more accurate numbers

If its till end of 2020 then its easy over. Keep in mind that most people who die of this virus are very old or in very bad shape and would have died either way from flu or another disease by the end of the year.

Guys you are projecting number of deaths using numbers out of thin air...

I can tell neither of you work with numbers, probability, analysis at all...

Because there are no numbers to make analysis with.

You are making shit up based on your opinion.

Can tell you don't work with numbers, analysis, etc...

Have you ever taken a statistics class?
