Have you followed the WHO situation reports? Those are informative and just present the numbers. Some places in Europe are well above 2%.

Someone on the XJT forum posted a paper being reviewed right now. It shows that the fatality rate through models ranges from 0.5% to 4%. It’s got a lot of noise and not enough sampling (first month in Wuhan) but it acknowledges that non-symptom carriers will change the numbers (for the better?) but at the moment their models on fatality rates are not looking good for asymptomatic, affected, and hospitalized. What the numbers agreed on was 20 days +/- 4 days you die if you’ve got it for many of their baseline models, if you are one of the 0.5%-4% that do die. Scary.

Check out the WHO situation reports when you got a chance and apply that delay to the new observations from 3 weeks before. However that article you posted is interesting about false positives. Great example of statistics in action. However, it makes it even scarier when we can separate the real coronavirus carriers and their death rates. That means the 2% fatality rate is among both carriers and non-carriers. Yikes.

No one has any idea what the fatality rate is. We know the fatality rate of people who were confirmed infected.

We have no way to tell how many people are infected and will remain asymptomatic. They won't go into the survived bucket.

We have no counts of people who have symptoms, have been told "you probably have it" by their doctor, and are then told to stay home and not get tested. I have a few friends in this bucket. These people won't go in the tested positive bucket unless they end up in an ICU. If they recover at home, then they probably won't go in any bucket.

TL;DR: until we can test everyone, we'll have no idea what the fatality rate is.

Cuomo, the Westchester County health department, and other agencies followed the advice of scientists and top public health experts. Other states could have followed their lead but instead made decisions that will likely cause uncountable deaths in states like Florida.

No, Mississippi is NOT going to be like China. While reluctant, China accepted the science, marshaled resources, and saw a decrease in their contagion.

Some elected officials are making decisions on ego and belief. Thousands of their constituents are going to die unnecessarily because of it. How many times does Darwin need to be proven right? Oh, there we go with science again!

I would say that's a pretty fair assessment. I'm going to print it out and put it under my yoke clip....with your name.

1. Silver- will close

2. commute air, expressjet, air Wisconsin and gojet will merge or fold. Is each carrier only flying a small amount of places for United sustainable? Esp with reduced routes.....

3. Envoy, endeavor and horizon will be fine

4. Mesa maybe not

5. Skywest and republic will be fine


*no one take offense, I’m just passing the time, which I have a lot of thanks to my airline closing*

#4 might be #2 who knows...

Update:

1) Republic

Why would you say that?
