I would say that our initial response was more like Italy than SK. Don't know
How Germany has handled things. Do you know how Germany handled it?

Good news in Italy, bad news in the US

Increased testing means increased cases.

Also, show me the US death rate. WAY more important

Yes. People know your numbers and what they mean.

i'd prefer to make up my numbers and double down on my wrong conclusions

We'll likely reach their # of cases as testing increases. Our population is 5x

“Two to three weeks behind Italy”!!! The rallying cry
cougfanz
3/18/20 1:45am
In a couple days the cry will be we’re just a month behind Italy.
kotacoug
3/18/20 1:47am
No, it is about 10 days. Italy had over 1000 new cases on March 7th
kimdaddy35
3/18/20 2:04am
That's total cases, total deaths is about 13 days behind. They were 107 on 3/4
wabluecoug

Not sure your point. Ok we are two weeks behind. That only paints a grimmer

Here is MY point. Ive had 20 cases of influenz a at work this month 1 death 1 st

Yes worldwide deaths are fairly low right now because why?

It keeps lagging further and further behind Italy. It was a week lag, then 11

Yep.

How many times do we have to explain this. The more testing we do the
kotacoug
3/18/20 1:10am
Based on that, there's a chance the spread rate is even worse than Italy
cougarblue
3/18/20 1:14am
The numbers are a function of testing not spread rate
kotacoug
3/18/20 1:21am
We are one of the worst countries in the world in testing
kimdaddy35

Or are an NBA players? None of them are hospitalized. No symptoms, even.
CosmoK

That still doesn't mean it's spreading faster or slower here.

Which means Italy is reaching peak in the 30 day window just like China, and

Why are we comparing ourselves to Italy. Why not Germany or South Korea?

Cougar8Duck
3/18/20 1:41am
Why would you say that? We seem to be handling it just as well as SK.
kotacoug
3/18/20 1:43am
Seriously? They test 10,000 a day. We didn't reach that mark for weeks
kimdaddy35
3/18/20 1:55am
The US still tests fewer than 4K a day through private labs
Sumguy
3/18/20 7:45am
I may be wrong, but my understanding is that SK very rapidly implemented testing
Cougar8Duck
3/18/20 1:55am
All testing does is show how many people actually have it.
OceanMang
3/18/20 2:03am
You don't get it, if people don't know they have it they are MUCH
kimdaddy35
3/18/20 2:06am
No, you don't get it. It's already been spread and we're not dying in droves.
OceanMang
3/18/20 2:13am
Lol. We'll see I guess. We know the critical cases are spiraling exponentially

OceanMang

So you don't keep up on it. Gotcha.
kimdaddy35
3/18/20 2:36am
So you are going off of closed cases deaths. You got me. We're all going to die.

I propose that we stop all testing immediately so that the numbers look great. They will level out and

The scale on the US graph isn’t the same as the Italy graph.

Italy locked down on 3/9 and then about a week later deaths plateaued.

Do you realize the population of the US is 5 1/2 times that of Italy?

You can spin this however you want, of course cases are going to go up with testing but deaths remains low when compared
