Re: SOME PERSPECTIVE: CDC Statistical Estimates for the 2019-2020 U.S. Flu Season Compared With COVID-19
The current flu season is now winding down. These are the Preliminary Burden Estimates for the 2019-2020 Flu Season from the CDC.

Note that the figures for these four categories are only mid-line compared to the CDC estimate ranges.

U.S. Influenza-Related from October 1, 2019 to March 14, 2020:

TOTAL ILLNESSES: 46,000,000
MEDICAL VISITS: 22,000,000
HOSPITALIZATIONS: 565,000
DEATHS: 43,000 (including 100 children)
 Quoting: Doc Savage


Interesting Doc,

Let's take the 200,000 estimated covid deaths total and work that backwards through those ratios:

TOTAL ILLNESSES: 80 million
MEDICAL VISITS: 40 million
HOSPITALIZATIONS: 2.2 million
DEATHS: 200,000

That would be crammed into a month and a half instead of the six months, wow.

That lines up with Cuomo raising the amount of ICUs needed from 110,000 to 140,000 for New York alone.

Some of those ICUs will be used 2 or 3 times within that time period of course.

The final stats will depend if the US starts playing with the official death count moving the goalposts as to what determines covid death like China did and Italy's equally BS numbers.
 Quoting: Jungleboogie


By the best estimates, COVID-19 is going to hit its peak in the U.S. sometime during the next few weeks. With that, and with effective treatments now being distributed, there's no way today's U.S. death total of 3,424 is going to balloon to anywhere near 200,000.
 Quoting: Doc Savage


I sincerely hope your right Doc.

200k is the number the asshat Harvardtards are throwing around.

This part is extremely relevant -

"HOSPITALIZATIONS: 565,000

Given the current state of hype relating to covid-19
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77963234


Well see it's like this. Those 565000 hospitalizations were spread out over a few months so the hospitals could handle it. Those 22000 hospitalizations from covid19 have been spread out over a few months so it overloaded the system. We also need about 10 times as many ventilators as hospital cases because reasons.

Makes perfect sense when you think about it! Hopefully this clears some of that up.

Re: SOME PERSPECTIVE: CDC Statistical Estimates for the 2019-2020 U.S. Flu Season Compared With COVID-19
I'll use statistics from Italy and extrapolate to the USAs population and compare them to OPs flu related deaths.

Currently Italy has a population of 60 million. They have lost just under 12,500 lives so far, with deaths not in decline (has not peaked yet).

If we extrapolate the death rate to the USAs current population, 327 million, just over 68,000 would have died so far... Italy's covid19 deaths have occurred in just ONE month, so lets times the USAs deaths, 68k, by 12.. around 820,000 deaths compared to the estimated 43k flu related deaths..

Imagine if Italy had not shut down, had not taken any precautions.. 

Covid19 smashes the flu, if you use Italy's stats.
 Quoting: Tassie Lurker


Italy has the highest death rate by far. They average about 11% where the rest of the workk ly d is like 5%.

With disdain I will throw my gauntlet full in the face of the world,
And see the collapse of this pygmy giant whose fall will not stifle my ardor.
Then will I wander godlike and victorious through the ruins of the world
And, giving my words an active force, I will feel equal to the Creator.

yes 5 to be exact....the Covid is going on 2. you watch this will start to wind down now too...the flu started slowing around mid March. Almost nothing now...or many were sick with the flu and test CoVid after death....that would make the flu number follow the decades of sats....taper off right after Feb never happens though it did this year...to almost zero at months end. It should still be just coming down as every other year.

Why Italy? Why not Poland? Or Japan?

Poland, a nation of 38 million people, has suffered only 33 COVID-19 deaths.

In Japan, population 127 million, only 56 people have died of COVID-19.

It is utterly idiotic to assume that the USA must inevitably go the way of Italy. It is much more sensible to ask, How can we imitate Poland and Japan so that we don't end up like Italy?

Here are a few hints:
- Poland approved hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for COVID-19 on March 12.
- Poland closed its borders on March 13.
- On March 16, Poland shut down domestic air travel as well.

What about all the people who are infected but don’t go to the hospital? Or that are asymptotic?
 Quoting: Hitokiri


that is a very good point. I heard somewhere that for every 1 infected there are potentially 10 others also infected. If you took the current number of infected and multiply that by 10 (only using America's numbers)you would have 1,873,210‬ cases in America. Given the current deaths of 3,850 (which has already gone up in my last post) you would have a death rate of .2%

However, the concern is how fast the virus spreads and infects as well as the hospitalizations. We know that that of those infected 13% will be hospitalized. (different percentages per age group but throughout all age groups even the young are being hospitalized)

If you then take 13% of that 1,873,210 you get a number like this 243,517. Maybe on paper this doesn't look so bad but keep in mind that the flu season is 6 months. Because of the US was slow to respond places like NYC are spreading quickly. If the 243,517 hospitalizations can not be brought down over a longer period (flattening the curve) our health care system collapses.

This is with a flu shot circulating. It’s up for discussion if the shot work. But let’s say they do help. And, the flu patients didn’t go away. It could be like a double flu season. That can strain hospitals.
If this was lab made, there is ZERO herd immunity to this.
Most Dr don’t get the flu. Either from immunity or shots, who knows. But this effecting then pretty badly. That had to be taken into consideration too.

Point being, this is not replacing the flu but in addition to it. Many small hospitals get overloaded just from that.

Note that the figures for these four categories are only mid-line compared to the CDC estimate ranges.

U.S. Influenza-Related from October 1, 2019 to March 14, 2020:

TOTAL ILLNESSES: 46,000,000
MEDICAL VISITS: 22,000,000
HOSPITALIZATIONS: 565,000
DEATHS: 43,000 (including 100 children)

Here are the U.S. COVID-19 stats as of March 31, 2020:

TOTAL ILLNESSES: 175,669
HOSPITALIZATIONS: 22,000
DEATHS: 3,424

[link to www.worldometers.info (secure)]


World Health Organization mid-line estimate for Influenza during 2019-2020 Flu Season:

GLOBAL DEATHS: 470,000

TOTAL GLOBAL COVID-19 DEATHS AS OF 3/31/20: 37,272
 Quoting: Doc Savage


I'm exhausted with this tiresome logic. "it's just the flu!"

REAL PERSPECTIVE based on percentages that you conveniently left out (AMERICA NUMBERS ONLY)

Hospitalizations
FLU 1.2%
COVID-19 12.5%
(An absolutely astronomical number that regardless of healthcare system, cannot handle very efficiently.)

DEATHS
FLU .09%
COVID-19 1.9%

Actual deaths based on outcome Recovered vs death
37.49% It takes Yes that number will go down, however Italy is still at 44% because people don't die in 24 hours of getting covid-19, they suffer for a few weeks and then die. Many are not recovering, their death is delayed.

If it was just the flu you would not be in knockdown.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76800079


You can't put a percentage on hospitalizations or death because you don't know how many people have had it without ever being tested. I know a LOT of people who were sick in February/March, and never got tested for anything. Changing the denominator greatly changes the percentages. I'm betting death rate is well below one percent.

What about all the people who are infected but don’t go to the hospital? Or that are asymptotic?
 Quoting: Hitokiri


that is a very good point. I heard somewhere that for every 1 infected there are potentially 10 others also infected. If you took the current number of infected and multiply that by 10 (only using America's numbers)you would have 1,873,210‬ cases in America. Given the current deaths of 3,850 (which has already gone up in my last post) you would have a death rate of .2%

]However, the concern is how fast the virus spreads and infects as well as the hospitalizations. We know that that of those infected 13% will be hospitalized.(different percentages per age group but throughout all age groups even the young are being hospitalized)

If you then take 13% of that 1,873,210 you get a number like this 243,517. Maybe on paper this doesn't look so bad but keep in mind that the flu season is 6 months. Because of the US was slow to respond places like NYC are spreading quickly. If the 243,517 hospitalizations can not be brought down over a longer period (flattening the curve) our health care system collapses.

The flu as a hospitalization rate of only 1.2% over a 6 month period
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76800079


If we are unsure of how many people are infected, explain to me how we KNOW 13% will be hospitalized? You're completely full of shit and spreading disinformation purposefully. Fucking shill.

Interesting Doc,

Let's take the 200,000 estimated covid deaths total and work that backwards through those ratios:

TOTAL ILLNESSES: 80 million
MEDICAL VISITS: 40 million
HOSPITALIZATIONS: 2.2 million
DEATHS: 200,000

That would be crammed into a month and a half instead of the six months, wow.

That lines up with Cuomo raising the amount of ICUs needed from 110,000 to 140,000 for New York alone.

Some of those ICUs will be used 2 or 3 times within that time period of course.

The final stats will depend if the US starts playing with the official death count moving the goalposts as to what determines covid death like China did and Italy's equally BS numbers.
 Quoting: Jungleboogie


By the best estimates, COVID-19 is going to hit its peak in the U.S. sometime during the next few weeks. With that, and with effective treatments now being distributed, there's no way today's U.S. death total of 3,424 is going to balloon to anywhere near 200,000.
 Quoting: Doc Savage


it has been more then doubling each week
Mar 24th: 780
Mar 31st: 3,849

If only doubling each week
April 7th: 7698
April 14th: 15,396 (at this point NYC health care system would be in collapse . Yes I understand not all deaths in the US are in NYC. Also the more than likely point of no return in NYC)
April 21st: 30,792
April 28th: 61,584
May 5th: 123,168
May 12th: 246,336
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76800079

The only way they are getting to that number, is if they start adding homicides,suicides and accidental deaths. Which they probably already are doing.

Its still here, still spreading and highly active and extremely lethal

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77901425


That is a good point. See my previous response to a similar point. Admittedly we can only guess on a lot of these numbers because the lack of known cases. If we multiplied the current cases by 10 in the US you would have 1,873,210. 3,860 deaths would be about .2% death rate

80% approximately are asymptomatic/mild symptoms based on current known numbers. Currently 3,988 are in serious or critical. Or about .2% of theoretical unknown infected.

So you have .2% death rate and .2% hospitalization rate. That would be a manageable number on the healthcare systems but it does not line up with reality in NY. The flu which has a 1.9% rate of hospitalization over a 6 month period does not overwhelm the health care system in NYC. In a month NYC is on the brink and people are dying quickly.

So while you make a good point about the unknown numbers.

The reason this is a pandemic is because of 2 very basic reasons.

1. Flu has a vaccine and milder symptoms.
Covid-19 has no proven cure or vaccine
2. Speed of infection.
Flu on average as an infection rate of 1 person infects 1.3
COVID-19 has an infection rate of 1 person infects 2 to 3.

Couple these 2 and you have a very serious pandemic. Trust me the WHO and CDC know the math. Everyone here just takes numbers off of a website and magically becomes an expert.

Re: SOME PERSPECTIVE: CDC Statistical Estimates for the 2019-2020 U.S. Flu Season Compared With COVID-19
I'll use statistics from Italy and extrapolate to the USAs population and compare them to OPs flu related deaths.

Currently Italy has a population of 60 million. They have lost just under 12,500 lives so far, with deaths not in decline (has not peaked yet).

If we extrapolate the death rate to the USAs current population, 327 million, just over 68,000 would have died so far... Italy's covid19 deaths have occurred in just ONE month, so lets times the USAs deaths, 68k, by 12.. around 820,000 deaths compared to the estimated 43k flu related deaths..

Imagine if Italy had not shut down, had not taken any precautions.. 

Covid19 smashes the flu, if you use Italy's stats.
 Quoting: Tassie Lurker


Yup, and lets not forget that at no point during the flu season we were in lock down and had this level of social distancing in place.

For all the arm chair statisticians compare the flu to coronovirus, you must find a point in history with equivalent social distancing or normalize the data for coronivirus to it's behavior without social distancing.

The last thing all you arm chair statisticians must take into account is the timeline. So if corona season started in March and lets say lasts for four months and we are only at the 1 month mark, we need to compare the flu season over the same time period in it's life cycle.
