Per Capita Death Rates in One Chart

Original Article

Posted By: JackBurton, 3/18/2020 8:30:14 AM

Earlier today, I posted several charts showing coronavirus fatalities in various countries in several formats. Many think that per capita mortality rates are the most relevant metric; ...Another worthwhile analysis would consider the common sense observation that the US, South Korea, and Europe had their first cases at roughly the same time. Therefore, I think it is informative to compare the per capita number of cases and deaths ...

Comments:

The U.S. has the third largest population of any country (and is the fourth largest in area). One person here is not as representative as one person in Sierra Leone. See the chart to feel better about our efforts... and be better informed.

The bar chart, to me, is a wonderful graphic to explain our position in the overall epidemic. Thank you for translating it. On the theory that No Headache is Small When It's Yours, I understand concern about each and every instance being noted. Personally, I was assured by a neighborhood clinic that I only had a slight upper respiratory infection but in my incipient borderline paranoia, maybe it is more than that. How can I know and when? The only person on the planet I feel is telling the truth is my President. He said it will be okay. Therefore it will.

That chart pretty much says it all. Hope that all of those amateur stock traders see it and that the market jumps 5,000 points today. Thank you, President Trump!

Interesting...that the majority of deaths are from a senior facility in Washington state...I dug up some figures from the CDC back in 2017 that makes interesting reading...FTA: According to new estimates published today, between 291,000 and 646,000 people worldwide die from seasonal influenza Read it yourself at: https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2017/p1213-flu-death-estimate.html This 'pandemic' is nothing more than another attempt to bring down Trump...

7.8 billion people in the world. 8,000 COVID-19 deaths thus far. All deaths this year, 12,500,000. World wide abortions this year 8,700,000.

As testing goes up the morbidity rate is going to go down.

"In my opinion, we have gone overboard in constraining normal economic and social activity" Maybe. But how will we ever really know? If the occurrences and deaths are less in this country, is that because it never was that big a threat to begin with (for various reasons, some mentioned in the article) OR was it BECAUSE we "went overboard" in protective actions? If we had chosen NOT to "go overboard" and the incident and death rates skyrocketed, overwhelming our medical systems that we KNOW are not ready for such a challenge, it would impossible to "fix" it. We are seeing such results in Italy, perhaps from other factors as well but no less dismaying. The economic costs for the actions taken WILL be grave and perhaps not fully quantifiable. But balancing physical suffering and death against economic pain seems, to me, to fall to trying to minimize the physical suffering and death. Not all will agree. Many have shown a willingness to abort children for personal convenience. Others are happy to write off sick elderly as too costly to treat. Many working are people are at no great threat from the virus but are at threat from the economic shutdown. Some of them would make the selfish choice and not give it a second thought. Is there a "right" answer for the Country as a whole?

Do not read too much into this chart, because we do not yet know the progression of this virus in the US. There are some indications that in another 10 days, we may be where much of Europe is today.

And #6, many have shown a willingness to sit comfortably in a sports bar ordering “freedom fries” while fine young men and women are sent to their deaths on behalf of an ungrateful nation full of people who’ll hate us till the end of time and in the name of “national security.” The politicians have crashed the economy and millions of lives in order to save a few thousand people. Too bad they don’t consider that before sending kids (and trillions of dollars) to the worthless sand box in the ME. What we’re experiencing is NOT politicians concerned about saving lives (had to lol while writing that) it’s the elites flexing all over the little people and taking us one giant step forward to the impending civil war. Would love to see a journalist or blogger who is keeping score daily re: deaths in their state ... Covid-19 deaths vs. automobile accidents, heart disease, rape, murder etc.. FoxNews chyron at 10:30AM, 3/18/2020, reads “Covid-19 deaths in the United States surpasses 100.” That’s just one month of gunplay in Chicago, Detroit and Baltimore. Maybe we should throw up some concertina wire around those places and put them on lock down.

Shutting down the borders early, while still under that impeachment fiasco was a master stroke. That has delayed the spread a lot. But, check back in six weeks, that will tell the tale. I think we will do well, our social distancing and taking it reasonably seriously seems to be really workiing......so far. Let's hope this is how it really goes.

Dr. Anthony Fauci has a good bedside manner with the public, but he has been wrong about everything I have interacted with him on. In late January, when I was making the case on behalf of the president to take down the flights from China, Fauci fought against the president’s courageous decision — which might well have saved hundreds of thousands of American lives. When I warned in late January in a memo of a possibly deadly pandemic,... was telling the news media not to worry.

As we reported two days ago, Joe Biden completely made no sense when he was trying to explain the Wuhan coronavirus relief bill. It was really bad and it explains why they’re afraid to have him deliver an address to Congress or do any kind of a real solo press conference, because at this point they have to be afraid this is all going to fall apart if he does anything live and this all becomes too obvious to the American people. But there’s only so long that they can hold this off. And it’s getting worse, as video today revealed. Biden was holding an event to announce the nomination

Nancy Pelosi’s top priority is to turn America into a one-party nation ruled by Democrats. Her bill HR 1 trashes the U.S. Constitution in an attempt to rig the system and make it virtually impossible to elect a Republican president or Congress again. It’s a power grab. The bill eviscerates state voting laws and forces all the states to conform to a set of rules that includes automatic voter registration. Anyone who goes to a DMV or applies for food stamps, Medicaid or other social services, or attends a public college will be automatically enrolled to vote. Noncitizens are obligated to identify themselves and opt out,

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.

Appearing on Yahoo!

The Washington Times in 2019 first reported Democrats’ bid to strip the longtime FBI director’s name from the bureau’s headquarters. Mr. Cohen said the impetus to revive the bid is the new movie, “Judas and the Black Messiah.” The movie details
