Corona Virus #5

Now put it in terms of what percantage itç—´ growing.

Then you fall back into speculation land. We've been swimming in that pool for at least a couple weeks here on TBN. The water is getting very rancid.

Maybe be a bit more realistic to look at data from nations that have obviously went past the peak.

Partially correct. With regular flu we have the symptoms when we are infectious. This seems to be different. It can be transmitted even if someone does not show any effects.

The next four weeks will fill in a lot of the blanks we have.

I wish we could trust the numbers out of China...they were at the forefront of this and have the most knowledge. But they have little incentive to help us and it is difficult to trust them.

Oh I totally agree in regards to infectious part. But it doesn't stop people who are obviously sick with Influenza from going about their daily business of human contact. So maybe Influenza is a hazard as well?

I agree, things will change dramatically in the next four weeks. I also still believe in a year we won't remember any of this data.

I also agree about China numbers. Hoping other nations start reporting their stats dropping for more reliable data.

Even after a global down cycle accurate numbers could be years away...most will be nothing but speculation and guesstimates...There may never be any entirely factual numbers...same as other pandemics etc...

Would you say the current death numbers could be within 10,000? 20,000? If so,,,, wouldn't that still be a tiny, tiny, tiny percentage of the World's population?

OK, better get ready - "Trump not currently considering a National lockdown"

It is way, way, way too early to even try to compile numbers or percentages...factors will change daily for the duration...currently, other than for tracking numbers are moot...

I agree. As well as charts and graphs predicting the future numbers.

Agree, 100%. I "hope", I "wish" I guess I have to "assume" the China figures are correct. But as an avowed enemy of this nation it is a little difficult to have a lot of confidence in their figures.

I am not sure why some of you are questioning the numbers on this......

Lefties have been GUESSING at global warming numbers for 20+ years, and still get away with it

No there is a difference between getting accurate tracking numbers of virus cases...and just making up or altering numbers so they fit a theory...

Exactly.

Good work James!!!!

Now you are going to get chastised for depriving a few of the opportunity to ridicule my intelligence.

As far as the people selling their stock goes, it would be hard to prove they had inside knowledge of something that's been in the news since December. Many folks were warning about this situation months ago. It was public knowledge.

Atlanta Falcon owner and founder of Home Depot Arthur Blank is donating $5.4MM to the COVID-19 effort...time for the likes of Buffet, Gates, Bezos, Walls etc. to cough (NPI) something up...!

It makes me wonder how someone comes up with that number. Why not just $5MM?

Must be a darn good reason but my little pea brain cannot grasp it .

Anyone wanna take bets that in a week the total world count will go from 250k to say 500K? Or US count from 14K to say 25K? Hard to predict. Will it rain here next friday... hard to predict.

Maybe a particular account he closed out had 5.4Meg? Just a guess.

On the lighter side...saw this posted on a bb

Coronavirus Pandemic, day 16.

If anyone is still out there, I'm alive but struggling. Food is running low. Down to only 459 days worth. My hands are super sanitized and my butt is super clean. Down to 1599 rounds of ammo (dropped 1 round down the heat vent while doing daily inventory). Power still on, but for how long? Missing human interaction but I have my dogs.. for now.. (I'm soaking their food in BBQ sauce in an attempt to marinate them from the inside in case I have to eat them) . I fear dark days ahead. News is all bad. Neighbors have attempted to leap from windows to their death, (or near death... most have single story homes so they are badly bruised). Blew through most Netflix series so may have to rewatch some again..Basic Survival is a definite challenge. I vow to persevere to the end, I am a survivor! Please, if there is life out there, communicate with me to help preserve my sanity..

Quick question. Why are all of our infection projections in the 50-150+ million US citizens, when China seems to hold steady at ~86K cases with a population over 3 times ours?

Panic sells news.
