2020-2021 Season in Jeopardy

Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory estimated that the R0 value for COVID-19 is “likely to be between 4.7 and 6.6.”

Measles has an R0 that is "often cited to be 12-18," and the flu has an R0 of about 1.3, according to the New York Times.

According to Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, Stanford University professor of medicine, the coronavirus death rate may be “orders of magnitude” lower than the initial estimates.

Interesting. Thank you for providing those numbers. They are in line with what I suspect is happening.

I think our country has more "experts" on this problem than any country in the world!

I think the Boneyard has more “experts” on this problem than anywhere else in the world.

There are 22 million people collecting unemployment aid out of total 330 million people. Assuming only 50% of the people are supposed to work (minus under 18 and old retirees), that is 165 million.

So US unemployment rate is 13.3% which is bigger than 1940 big recession's 10%. And the rate could increase in the next few weeks or months to 20%. This is really scary.

Layoffs are mounting in nearly every sector as businesses have been forced to close in an effort to stem the spread of covid-19. Many companies that remain open report a huge drop-off in sales. New data show manufacturing production cratered in March by the most since 1946, and new home construction saw the biggest decline in nearly 40 years.

Now 0.009%

Now, 34, 386. mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, children.

That's the 2nd time I've seen that number. Where are you guys getting that??? Not even close to being accurate. USA sitting at 330 million people. We've had about 34,000 die. That's .0103%. And it's only going to go up.

Math, I used the number at the time.

Now, 34, 386. mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, children.

Average age in this country 85, with underlying health issues as with the majority of deaths.

Your point?

 

[npignatjr]

Your point?

Nothing giving facts.

 

[npignatjr]

I agree that facts matter. As I and others have pointed out, the Federal Government has recently requested data from all states in deaths “presumed to be” from coronavirus as a separate statistic. NY and other states are providing those numbers separately. You can misinterpret the NY numbers as you choose, but it doesn’t change the facts.

I didn't misinterpret anything there were 3000+ added to the deaths from the virus without facts to back it up, the deaths were presumed to have been caused by the virus, I would have failed all my science classes if I presumed data

Also would have failed for misusing data.

What facts do you have to support the nonsense you’re spinning?
