China's confirmed WuRona cases are BS...

I've been suspecting China's confirmed cases were BS. Apparently they are not counting positive tests in people that are asymptomatic. So they quarantine these people and only count the ones that come back with symptoms they cannot control or heal on their own. WTF

A rich real estate tycoon over there recently publically called their president Xi a "power-hungry clown". That was the last anyone ever heard from him, he promptly disappeared.

Kinda dumb, really. You can either have an awesome rich life (leave the country if they let you, or stay and just shut your mouth), or shoot your mouth off and disappear.

He chose unwisely.

Why would I care? I don’t trust the Chinese government. I trust ours a little more but not much.

I’m always amazed at how some folks draw strange conclusions based on their inability to understand complex or nuanced thought. Black or white. Anything else is fecepost. Fence post bad (in my Frankenstein voice)

And leave my personal life out of this. Who I blow is my business.

At least fatty fat fat is cool now. He wrote a love letter and stuff. And the House of Saud executed the people they sent to kill the wp reporter. So they are good too.

We bitch about trump but I’ll give him this. To my knowledge he’s not killed anyone. Maybe called them names because his feewings got hurt but not killed anyone yet.

I told you that when you spouted about Chinese data, not to trust anything the commies were saying and your cheese slid off your cracker. They're liars. Always have been, and always will be.

The US data is bogus as well.

I don't know how other places are doing it, but we test pretty much only when they crash and need to go on a vent.

Presumptive cases outnumber tests at least 6:1 and of those tested, I've not seen a negative result yet. So I'd consider any data on positives to be at the minimum only 20% of actual, but more likely sub 10%.

Multiply the numbers by 8-10 to get closer to reality.

Hey king just curious what you are seeing. Are you seeing any stratification of the us data we do have? Even as simple as broken down by male and female?

Some localities have been forthcoming with this but I think some of this is close hold at the fed level.

Well, I’ve pretty much quit crunching numbers...........too depressing............besides my contacts are now too busy and out of touch.
But based on my last calculation, 8 to 10 as the multiplier is quite low Dan..................unfortunately.
Just my opinion...
Still 2 weeks from my upcoming “60 Days Ago” post.................yeah...............I won’t be doing that one.

TeeDub........I’ve been doing simple top down macro stuff............at first, just out of curiosity, and after being contacted by friends, etc.
Doing traditional Incidence, Prevalance, Mortality cuts by sex, age, socioeconomic, comorbidity, etc..........is futile at best for US data currently, as the chit is just moving too quickly. Maybe in a few months?

The Chinese data as we know it? Not even worth analyzing in my opinion with respect to validity and reliability.
The Euro data coming in, especially the Latin countries, is troubling.

Still believe that the best case scenario is our normal lives will be disrupted for a while.
Worst case? I originally said chit could get ugly. I’m amending that to really ugly.

News reports seem to be indicating that hospitals are getting direction not to test as it is... not enough kits I guess in some areas still. Essentially just assume people with the symptoms have COVID-19. Sounds like what danm's seeing is not uncommon.

We probably shouldn't bother criticizing china's numbers right now

I have simply downgraded my expectations to be the worst possible conceivable outcome.

Therefore, only two things can happen:

1. What I am expecting is what happens
2. Something much better than I am expecting is what happens.

I can't be disappointed no matter what! Winning!!!!!!!!

You'll get there. Real champions actually adopt misanthropy, so that worst case becomes best case.

It's pretty reliably diagnosed clinically in the hospitalized patients, which according to WHO data is about 20% of infected.

The tests really offer us nothing in the clinical setting.

They would be much more beneficial if they were quickly resulted and widely available for outpatients/general public. But even then, it's just for data collection. But could allow for closer monitoring and easier triage to inpatient once someone is symptomatic. Right now we send you home, even if it requires sending you home with an oxygen tank, and tell you to come back if it gets worse. Well, we're finding dead people in their houses a few days later after we've sent them home. But they weren't tested or resulted, so it's not included in the covid data.

If I've got a patient with ARDS, and we find out 7 days later they're sars-2 positive, it does absolutely fuxkall to get that test result.

Right. 9-10 days to get results right here now. My wifes lab now does a "drive-thru" test for patients pre-screened by a physician who orders the test. They don't even get out of their car. ""Ding", thank you for driving through, we'll call you in a week or so."

Yeah. Frustrating.

It's one thing to have inaccurate data due to testing shortages or length of time to get results. It's a completely different issue to intentionally not report positive test results just because someone does not come back in with serious symptoms.

It's a completely different issue to intentionally not report positive test results just because someone does not come back in with serious symptoms, to willfully skew and falsify data, to under report and coverup death rates, to make people disappear who rustle feathers, to offer a half hearted and woefully late and inadequate apology to Li Wenliang............and only because they couldn't make him disappear first, because thankfully his message and identity was already known by too many, and so on, and so on.....

China gonna do what China do, but we act like we do better.
not so fast.

Looks like our Intelligence agencies "were issuing ominous, classified warnings in January and February while President Trump and lawmakers played down the threat".

There's more to this, and this is related to what we know about the senators who sold "stocks in advance of the market chaos that was to come". I must admit I thought that was a nothing burger, but I was wrong, it's bad.

A decade long tradition of House and Senate Intelligence committees holding "unclassified public hearing on worldwide threats" under oath...ummmm, not this year.

Doesn't matter if you're a lib, a con, a commie...as long as you're an American this year's info that featured what was known about the virus was withheld from you. Worse still, during that period what we got from the top was...

Jan 24- "China has been working very hard...in particular, on behalf of the American people, I want to thank President Xi".

You probably know the rest of the time line release of info.

Well if the infected is 10x what is being reported, then wouldn't that put the death rate at 0.15% instead of the 1.5% we are being told? That would mean that this is not all that much deadlier then the seasonal flu.

That’s wrong for a whole bunch of reasons I won’t spend the time on. We are past the it’s no worse than the flu stage. Anyone wanting to believe that is just going to anyway. This is real and not just like the flu.

But I will give you one reason that’s not correct (again among many). Simple “analysis” like that completely misses the mark and feeds misinformation that folks want to believe.

Look for a danM post talking about not testing folks and sending them home with oxygen. He said something about finding the bodies days later. Said case is in neither the numerator or denominator. Your example adds them to the denominator but holds the numerator constant.

I gave one example. I won’t spend time on the numerous other flaws in the logic.

Here is a general one for you though. If the incredibly smart group of scientists working on this agree that is not the case why are you trying to prove them wrong? I like hope, but only if it is grounded in fact and knowledge.
