The US has decided ultimately, that it places the safeguarding of it's economy above people and will allow the pandemic to take place at the federal level more so than any other country.

What effect this will have is debatable; I err on the evidence so far from a variety of countries and current figures and contend that when the deaths pile up, the US establishment will never apologise or take responsibility for their litany of neglect in this situation

>> No.11504545

>>11504453
Yes, demographics are different and are a huge factor.
Yes, medical system is different.
This will likely lead to a lower mortality rate than Italy. Probably closer to Germany. However, keep in mind that Germany is also only 3 weeks into this outbreak and is expected to have a rising cfr, because covid-19 patients seem to either recover or kick the bucket only after 3 weeks. So expect the german cfr to go up significantly within the next week.

However, proliferation is proceeding exponentially under the current US policy. The only countries able to curb the growth so far were China, South Korea, Taiwan and Japan.

Unless the US is following the example of one of these, the US will experience the same exponential growth as anyone else, which will only be stopped by either policy change or when it reaches a saturation point.

Even with a german cfr, you do not want to play dice with 60% of your population.

You're the one sperging about per capita deaths. It isn't just about how many % of the people of your country have died, the world is not some grand strategy game where you can afford 20,000 people dying because they're a small part of your population. Of course 80,000 cases and 8,000 deaths in Italy are even more alarming when you take into consideration the demographics of the country, but that doesn't mean that having thousands of deaths is ok as long as your country is big.
America has over 1,000 deaths and counting. There are thousands of people yet to die in the US, but it's ok because they're not many deaths per capita.

>> No.11504666

>>11504441
>Actually they're ahead. You should see the numbers get worse with a lag time of about 2 weeks.
Go back two weeks and look at Italy's numbers. 15,113 cases, 1,016 deaths. They were already at a 6.7% mortality rate, pretty much the worst in the world. The USA is still at 1.4%. Italy was also testing about 5k people a day as of a few days ago, and probably much less weeks ago. The USA is now testing 40k a day. Italy has around 7 ICU beds per 1k people, the USA has 36 ICU beds per 1k. The USA will get worse, but I don't see it ending up at Italy's level.

The first identified case was on December 6. By late December, Chinese labs had already isolated and identified the virus, but the CCP ordered them to hide or destroy the data and not tell anyone. They then proceeded to allow a Chinese New Year celebration in early January, during which 5 million people were allowed to leave Wuhan without screening. On January 23, China instituted its first quarantine. That quarantine came a month and a half after the first identified case, and after millions of people were allowed to leave Wuhan and spread the virus throughout China and other countries.

Yeah we definitely expect the numbers to go down once more is known. However pretending this is 'just the flu' or 'just like swine flu' is inaccurate and helps nobody. Republicans want everyone to believe it's no big deal so they go back to work and the economy does well so the orange clown can get reelected in November. So they will lie and spread misinformation as much as humanly possible in order to keep the economy doing well because they do not give a shit how many people die, all they care about is the stock market and being reelected in November. They have been lying from the fucking beginning because the only thing Republican news channels know how to do anymore is lie their asses off to make Republicans look good and Democrats look bad.

Well guess what, this time they can't lie their way out of this because people are sick and dying.

You can't hide the fact that hospitals are getting overwhelmed already and we're in the early days of this pandemic. Lie your way out of this one assholes.

Do you really think that there is some magical combination of policy decisions (besides having completely closed the border to international travel from China back in December when this story was developing) which would have stopped this? People die. Pandemics happen. There's decisions that can be made to mitigate things but you're talking about at best marginal reduction strategies. Unfortunately we live in an actual natural reality, not some autistic simulation and bad things happen even if 100% of all possible "good decisions" are made. The United States should have locked down travel months ago, and probably shouldn't have ever relied on a globalized "just in time" market strategy to the point that such massive international travel is necessary for resources to move, but that didn't happen.

Safeguarding the economy is safeguarding the people to a massive extent you collosal retard. There's no amount of universal healthcare and test availability that will help you if the floor falls out from the economy and grocery stores can't get food because nobody can afford to employ people who make stocking goods logistically possible. The economy collapsing would be a more significant disaster in terms of loss of life in the US than 10 times the mortality rate of the Wuhan flu.

Yes, but that's not the problem, and it's not at risk of collapse: what's really risking a collapse is everything around it.

The current economy is a big bag of smoke with no fire, but it's a big bag of smoke that currently is the only thing keeping literally millions of people who are not capable of self-sustanence alive.

We can do public benefits, universal healthcare whatever. That's entirely possible, but even with a significant public safety net the US economy would have a significant degree of fragility due to its complete annihilation of the labor sector post WW2 in favor of corporate globalism. Universal healthcare wouldn't do a fucking thing to fix the problems that the US economy is going to face following this. The social programs wouldn't do a fucking thing because the US government doesn't have any ability to actually aggregate and manage resources. That's all just private in the US. Sticking a social program into that is nothing but a subsidy for existing corporate powers because now they know they have a guaranteed rent check in the mail.

What pillars do I think the US economy rests on? I think it rests on the back of corporations and media empires who have created a people with faith in this monstrosity that they fundamentally do not understand.

The most common pre-existing condition in the US co-morbid with our deaths is obesity, which is just shy of 40% of our country, so isolating the weak when removing overlap with elderly would still be a massive isolation. Louisiana has triple the death rate of NJ, despite new jersey having(currently) more cases per captita and much higher population density, big difference is obesity is far more prevalent in LA.

The death count is always some days lagging behind the infected count, because the disease needs some time to develop and deteriorate the patients condition.

America has an massive population of 300 million, the number of tested new infections has been massive in the last week growing from around 60k to 100k. Thus america has actually had a much smaller number of infected than italy for some time and has only recently caught up. I expect the number of deaths in america to incrementally rise within the next week as more and more patients accumulate serious symptoms.

The same thing could be observed in Germany. Germany experienced a massive increase in infected within the last 3 weeks, but 90% of deaths happened within the last week.

As of yet I am unsure if medical infrastructure is actually a big contributing factor. From my understanding doctors are pretty much helpless in treating COVID-19 except for alleviating symptoms long enough for the patient's immune response to clear up the mess on its own. Especially older people seem to be unable to do that.

I would argue, that medical infrastructure is on a pretty even level across the EU. But still, their differences in cfr is staggering. While Italy and Spain are getting hammered hard, everyone else is doing okayish.

I rather believe the demographics of the population and the infected are much more important.

I understand the confusion weird wording on my part. Rural states in general will see much later and much less spread, like west virginia or the dakotas. I mean states that in general have but major 1-2 cities that are congregation points, in general those states have for less resources that can be moved from other parts of the state, most extreme example of this will be New Orleans. All state resources will be directed to the major city hot spots, leaving scraps behind for outlying areas where deaths will be much higher, or try to spread evenly letting the cities get smashed.

If that's the case then they're not only retarded but have a legitimate death wish. Covid-19 has publically proven that he actually can't do his job when shit actually hits the fan.

The idea that places like Taiwan can get this shit under control but not the U.S. is absolute nonsense. They went on complete lockdown in January while the U.S. dragged its feet until after March. Trump downplayed the virus even though in the background multiple senators including his senate intel chief was selling stocks before the Stock Market went into free fall in February.

He ignored all the experts, all the warnings, ignored allies like Japan going on lockdown and it literally took until Italy going full Plague mode for him to finally publicly take it seriously.

A democratic candidate wouldn't have immediately downplay the threat, cut CDC spending from previous years, axe a federal oversight team built for shit like this and reduce funding to healthcare.

You might say that hindsight is 2020 (no pun intended) but we have had at least four outbreaks in the last 20 years. Dr. Fauci even warned about a pandemic being next in 2017.

https://www.the-rheumatologist.org/article/aids-zika-whats-next-asked-dr-anthony-fauci-keynote-address-2017-acrarhp-annual-meeting/

>The 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting kicked off on Nov. 4 with a rousing presentation by Anthony S. Fauci, MD, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). A terrorist attack on U.S. soil, hurricane, cyberattack and pandemic were the four scenarios played out in late 2016, when NIAID conducted a tabletop exercise for the newly elected president’s incoming cabinet.

>In this first year of Donald Trump’s presidency, three of these four potential disasters have already occurred: We’ve had a terrorist attack in Las Vegas. Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria wreaked untold damage in Texas, Florida and Puerto Rico. And the extent of Russia’s cyberattacks and interference in the election is still being uncovered. “That leaves pandemic,” said Dr. Fauci.

It didn't have to come to this. Trump and Republicans could have avoided most this if they listened. Instead now they're fucked and have to call Fauci in to clean up the mess. A Democrat would have heeded the warning and prepared while Republicans would have called it wasteful spending.

How is it a fluke when Dr. Fauci literally warned that a pandemic was next? There's a reason why I posted that article. It's because it provides proof that the Trump administration was aware of this potential danger and ignored it.

It wasn't a genuine "this will happen, I'm already aware of the coronavirus that won't exist for 2 more years" warning.

Key facts are being kept from the public. 1) ventilators do not work. Basically every patient put on a vent because of Covid ends up dying, only after weeks of draining resources and spreading the disease. 2) the mortality rate is much higher than claimed. The true mortality rate is at least 5%. Most countries show over 10% mortality of confirmed positives--I'm assuming about half of those with it are unreported. Others have assumed the majority of positives are unreported, which yes might be the case with influenza type things, but everyone is obsessed with being tested for Covid. At most, half of those with it go unreported. This puts the death rate at 5% across the board, easy.

H1N1 (Swine Flu) was and it most definitely affected the US. At least 12k deaths when it was all said and done.

>The idea of "anything could happen, so be maximally prepared for everything" doesn't work in practical terms

This is usually true, for instance preparing for near or complete catastrophic meteor strike is not financially feasible (even though we have NASA watching out for it). As even though the chance of such a event is possible the cost for complete preparation is astronomical. Especially when there's no previous event on record impacting humans to readily justify a full budget for it.

However outbreaks/pandemics are different. They are common enough that it is a near certainty that at least a couple major diseases will happen each century. Previous centuries it was Cholera/Smallpox and Spanish Flu. It's possible Covid-19 maybe it for this century although it's still to early too tell since we are only 20 years in.

The important take away is the preparation for a pandemic is 100% justified as there is evidence to prove how frequently it can occur.

Good thing we have the solid facts of World-O-Meter! Who needs the facts from scientists and medical practitioners dealing with this thing and aware of what it will become....we have world-o-meter! Those idiot doctors should just watch world-o-meter and relax.

I have literally been fighting this stuff today here and on all social media--today only--to state the truth. Nowhere does anyone want to hear it. I was even permabanned on 4chan (just lifted). The stupidity of blindly arguing against facts is preventing us from arguing about a solution.
