I think the reason we aren't seeing these numbers in the headlines is that it doesn't support the hysterical narrative of apocalyptic end times.

Why is this concept so hard for some people to understand? There is a difference between panic and smart precautions when we have the ability to adjust based upon material facts.Thomas Ford 91 said:
Italy went from 1266 to 1809 in the last 48 hours. From 197 last Friday.
We're 6-10 days behind Italy with 5.5 times the population.

Safe from trolls.
Take it to the politics board. You will find the people you are looking for over there.
Good grief. Let the self-righteousness flow on.
From the staff post up-top: "To be clear: This is not a place to post your opinion as fact or to post information not rooted in clear facts. This is not a place to have political arguments or to detail your opinions about how well or poorly the government is handling the issue. This is not a place to rant about media conspiracies. This is not a place to critique other people for their level of concern or efforts to prepare. There are forums for (some of) those conversations, but they don't belong here."IDaggie06 said:

This is my biggest problem with this thing, at least right now. The numbers are all much higher.MarcAg said:
These numbers are not accurate because most people haven't been tested. And people that are close to dying they are choosing not to waste tests on them
Which numbers specifically? All? Like there are more cases both of recovery and death?agsalaska said:This is my biggest problem with this thing, at least right now. The numbers are all much higher.MarcAg said:

Italy's older population certainly has something to do with it. However, Italy has more hospital beds per capita, and more ICU beds per capita than the US.jmm said:
it is idiotic to compare Italy to U.S. Italy has a substantially older population, higher population density, higher percentage of smokers and substantially lower quality medical care facilities.

That would be accurate. If you aren't documenting all the cases (and it's not close) then you can't accurately document the number of deaths and recoveries
And they are generally in better shape. America is much fatter than Italy75AG said:Italy's older population certainly has something to do with it. However, Italy has more hospital beds per capita, and more ICU beds per capita than the US.jmm said:

Some people have immunity to the flu. 50% of Americans get a flu shot every year. We have antivirals to treat seasonal flu. We have none of the above for this novel virus. So your comparison is moot.Lateralus Ag said:
Less than the flu.
Of course. But as I am sure you understand their are many variations of flu. The vaccine protects you from many, but not all, variations. There would be FAR more cases of flu every year if people were not vaccinated.SoupNazi2001 said:75AG said:Some people have immunity to the flu. 50% of Americans get a flu shot every year.

I got the flu vaccine and still got the flu. Tamiflu's side effects of severe nausea were worse than the flu.
