Well, it would mean that the death rate per confirmed infections is 3.8%.
An argument could be made that the death rate per capita of 0.0073% also means "fuck all", because the infection hasn't fully spread to the entire capita yet... when it does, then the per capita death rate becomes more relevant.

My number uses actual figures.

Yours does not.

Sooooooo many more people have had this thing than have tested positive for it.

Interesting claim you have there fren.
Since I directly quoted you, which number of 'mine' is "not an actual figure"?

Positive test results

They aren't an accurate reflection of how many people have - or had - the virus. Therefore any equation they are used in is incorrect.

It works well to inflate the mortality number though. I heard CNN say "The mortality rate might come down if we discover more people had the disease"

LOL @ might. It 100% will. It's called math. But a scared viewer is one that keeps watching and that's all they fucking care about.

Ohio is relaxing on their bar & restaurant shutdowns. Outdoor dining opens today (2/15).

Despite saying that there will be a "new normal" and humans will be terrified to go out in public ever again, many restaurants had assembled huge circus tents and erected them in their parking lots and promptly opened for business Thursday night at midnight (officially 12:00 AM Friday). By all accounts the turnouts were huge and there was some serious partying going on last night.

Yet another thing our government and news agencies were completely wrong about.

Are you a fucking idiot?

Total population is a known number.
Total Covid deaths - if you believe the hospitals - are a known number.

The number isn't static and can only go up as more people die, but at a given point in time it is as accurate as you can get.

Well, you seem to be mentally challenged, upset, angry at the world, or simply unintelligent.
Perhaps English is your second language?
That would explain your lack of simple comprehension.
It would also explain why you are arguing against your very own words.


Maybe slow down on the possible alcohol consumption and read your own words, familiarize yourself with a dictionary, and learn to breathe to a count of five before lashing out at perfectly normal discussions?

If you insist on using per capita numbers, then guess what my numerically challenged friend... that number is NOT static.
Hint: deaths go up, population remains the same... therefore your silly percentage continues to go up.

I don't really believe that in those words, but that's the main reason he'll be let go.
i think he made that video to serve his own interests, not the interests of the community.

doing that in uniform is a serious breach of the public trust.

While dropping my son off at Daycare this morning we noticed some activity at the high school in the front of our neighborhood. On the way home we noticed a sign saying there was COVID testing. This is pretty big, but this should have been set up over a month ago. We swung by to see if it was just nasal swab testing or if they were offering antibody testing. Right now they are only offering nasal swabs.

Were there a lot of people there to be tested?

We put up a testing tent but no one is showing up. Lol

They were still setting up, but there was no line or anything. If this was a month ago I would have bit the bullet and gotten swabbed while I was sick, but I've been healthy for a few weeks now so I'm trying to find out where we can get tested for antibodies.

thought about the same thing, might give it a go for the wife and myself...if we both test positive for antibodies I'd believe it. But the actual specificity of those test is pretty low...even the ones that claim "99.5%" are testing out in studies at ~ 90%. Some are straight garbage.

EDIT - i think you can only get antibody testing through your healthcare provider, just need to make sure what lab they use and what test that lab supplies.
