So you would be fine if your daughter was tased for not wearing a mask and in front of her children?

I lost my daughter 31 years ago. I’m confident however that she would have never allowed the situation to escalate to the point where she would have been tased. She was raised better than that.

I am sorry for your loss but thanks for not answering the question. Your answer is obvious by your inability to just say it. You would be outraged if any officer tased your daughter for whatever reason, real or imagined, in front of her children. Be a man and just say it!

Ridiculous question. My daughter would never behave in such fashion embarrassing both herself and her children.

The onus was on her.

As some here like to say:

Twitter is twittering, not thinking. The Infection Fatality Ratio is not the same as "Case-Fatality rate". Johns Hopkins has the case-Fatality rate of the US at 2.9%

https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality

And btw, many of the metrics will not be known precisely until it is over. There are other relevant metrics like total number of fatalities at this time after X no of months..

Clarifying the True Fatality Rate of Covid-19: Same as the Flu?
https://medium.com/microbial-instinc...u-8148e38b9ab5

The fact that Covid-19 kills more than flu is quickly evident by “the number of deaths that exceed what is seen in typical years.”

Overall, a higher transmission rate leads to more infections and then more cases and, eventually, more deaths. Now, the CFR alone is not as important. Not to mention also that SARS-CoV-2 infections are more likely to become cases than with influenza.

The fact that Covid-19 kills more than flu is quickly evident by “the number of deaths that exceed what is seen in typical years,” the academic journal Nature reported in September. In other words, deaths from Covid-19 are not deaths that ‘would happen anyway’.

Update

United States
Coronavirus Cases:
7,322,405
Deaths:
209,470

Case Fatality Rate is an obviously idiotic way of measuring anything meaningful.

Everyone everywhere knows that way more people have been infected than tested positive. Many cases are asymptomatic, the symptoms were mild enough that the person did not go to the doctor to get tested, or early in the pandemic they didn’t have the testing capacity so when doctors suspected you had COVID 19 they sent you home and told you to quarantine unless you got much worse. Then you were brought in, tested, and hospitalized.

Several numbers make sense to track.

You want to know how many people have been infected, how many people got hospitalized out all those infected, how many people needed ICU out of all those infected, how many died out of all those infected, how many people were asymptomatic or had very mild cases out of all those infected Etc... You want to do that for as many groups as possible to find out where the risks are. The ONE THING THAT IS TOTALLY MEANINGLESS is any percentage related to measured cases because the “case number” is woefully inaccurate in describing the situation.

111 million tests in USA so far.

A new quick response test can be run in the field and have results in 15 minutes.
