Covid-19 by the numbers

[monet]

We are over 400 deaths in the United States just today (and still have a couple hours to go). That is up from 285 yesterday.

Last Friday was 22 deaths. That means in 1 week....7 DAYS an increase of 20 fold or 2000%

If we have the same rate of increase over the next 7 days next Friday will be at 8000 deaths, right on the cusp of your number monet.

For a bunch of gambling type, math type guys, I don't think some of you are really seeing these numbers, which surprises me.

A new model by the University of Washington projects COVID-19 cases and deaths for the United States and every state in the country.

This website shows a National Projection and State by State.
They also project Beds, ICU Beds and Ventilators.

You will have to average 9000 deaths per day for 365 days just to lose about 1% of the American Population.
I guess anything is possible but we would have to go through the heat of summer for this to happen and summer is right around the corner.
After you have 60 to 70% of the population infected the population will build up a natural resistance.
It wasn't long ago they estimated 80% of the world population to catch it and figured a death rate of 1%.
Whats 1% of the total world population, 7.6 Billion... 76 Million People Worldwide??
So is shutting the whole world down going to make that number less or more?

These numbers are easy to look at on paper until it hits you or your family personally.
That's when people really freak out.

California is already showing that their projections were way off.
Like you said before... just let everyone catch it and take our chances.
You have to lose about 2.5% of the American population just to catch up to worldwide starvation numbers.
With all the Media hype and shutting down the world economy it is understandable that you are starting to freak out.
As I have said before the real threat is the Government gaining more control over the populace and Americans losing the little Liberty they have left.
It isn't like you can do anything about it.
You could stock up on everything and ride it out at home or...
you could go out and use your resources to help the general public, homeless, neighbors... etc etc.
I'm guessing most of us are too selfish for the second option.

A person does not need to be some sort of expert in Mathematics to Steal from the Casinos.
Basic Math, Experience and Ice Water is enough.
