so you are saying they can't properly test for CV19 in these vast numbers because there aren't enough testing kits readily available.....right....i agree. so....why the fuck would you believe and religiously stick to the figures that they're throwing around in the media every single hour???
they can't properly test for it! the numbers mean nothing


Yes, the numbers are wrong. Do you understand though that the really real numbers can only be higher than the confirmed cases? Whether the number of infected is 10%, 20% or 500% higher than those confirmed, nobody knows.

Do you understand that if we act when it "starts looking serious", it's too late and we've already got a disaster on our hands?

lol the death toll is actually higher than reported. It is unclear how much China is hiding. Countries like Russia and Iran are definitely not trust worthy. North Korea haven't reported a single case but they are asking for help, why is that? In France, a country which is supposed to give the right numbers, people who die in nursing homes are not accounted for. In Spain they are 1/3rd of the numbers so in France they must be hundreds.

And it will only get worse.

This thread is going to get locked way faster than the last one did lol.
I have a pretty good sense of humor. I'm not German.
^Just make another one. The mods said they weren't against discussions of the virus. Might as well see how honest they were being about that.
I guy in Saudi Arabia might receive the death penalty for willingly sneezing and spitting on market goods. And yes, he was indeed coronavirus-positive.


Its interesting to think about what kind of punishment such people deserve.
Luckily for the survival of our ignorance, noone is going to ask him the question "What made him hate humanity that much ?" and "How can we fix it in future ?".



Is there a list of "Things to stockpile" during a pandemy ?

Nah, exucse me for beeing a sociopath myself now if i start attacking people that prefer to classify others by tagging them as deniers or any other buzzword.

There´s always a push and a shove.
I thought we grew out of that time where we say "she slept with the devil and now the baby is evil".

Going by the resolved case data, in the US it is 38% mortality.

In Italy, the mortality rate of resolved cases is nearly 50%. (You cannot include active cases in the calculation for obvious reasons)

A couple of other notes (This part is speculation):

I believe China has over-reported the amount of cases/recoveries and Iran has under-reported their deaths.

Although their reported info is trustworthy, Germany is an outlier. They seem to survive the virus much better than other people. Can't figure out why.


The reason Germany's death rate is so low (around 0.6%) is simply because they've been testing way more people, even those with only mild symptoms which most countries are not doing. In the UK at the moment you have to be pretty much on death's door to get tested, I assume the same in Italy which accounts for the much higher death rate if you're just dividing number of deaths by number of confirmed cases.

Maybe this helps with the math.

Yeah, we Germans have a much better healthcare system than other countries. Our politicians didn't handle the pandemic well at first and there are many issues (both economic and social), but so far we're doing well.

The official numbers are always wrong, because there's no country in the world that can track down every single infected person. They're always higher though, never lower. Can't believe some people still deny its existence / that it's really that bad (looking at you, Belarus)
The opposite of knowledge is not illiteracy, but the illusion of knowledge.
