But how many recoveries?

MS:
84 new cases, 663 total
5 new deaths, 13 total
They released some new chart data.
All 13 deaths were > 60 years old
48% of cases are < 50 years old
1/3 of all cases have led to hospitalization
About 12% of cases in 30-49 year olds are hospitalized
20% of 50-59 year olds hospitalized
32% of 60-69 year olds hospitalized

Based on these numbers approximately .022% percent of the population of Mississippi have tested positive for Covid-19. Approximately .005% of the population of Mississippi has been hospitalized due to Covid-19. Of those hospitalized 82% of them are in the 50+ age range. 66% of them are in the 60+ age range. We were at 100+ cases on March 20th (approximately) so we are 8 days in to this. Someone else with the computational know how can plot the line graph to see where that puts us against other growth rates across the country. We've basically added 563 cases over 8 days for an average of 70 new cases per day.
Some things I am not getting.
Fox news interviewed a doctor who works in a Brooklyn New York hospital. One of the hardest hit hospital with cases. He said this.
1. He is taking the Chorid crap they keep talking about. He says doctors take that stuff all the time to fight off virus. That tells me they know it works and they are Bull shitting us they have to test it.
2. He also said men are more vulnerable. I have heard that before.
3. Certain blood types are less vulnerable. He said O positive is the best blood to have to fight off the virus.
Now another thing. Why test for temperature? Are you only contagious when you have a fever. If not why hell does it matter if you have fever or not to go to work (S. Korea) or the White House. Either you have it or not. Either you can pass it on or not. That is what I been hearing so why check Temperature?
They know more then what they are saying.
1. They're giving chloroquine for this already. The ole miss 247sports guy in ICU is even on it. It's not approved for this usage but doctors can get around that with "compassionate usage." It may help some but it absolutely is not some miracle cure.
2. Mississippi stats show females have tested positive more often than males.
3. I've heard the blood type thing before. Could be true, don't think it's proven though.
They check temp because it's one of the early signs. You're right that you can be contagious without symptoms but you can't give a covid test to everybody on the spot, so it's better than nothing.
Anyway, not sure where you were headed with this. I'm not picking up what you're putting down.
I've heard only positive things about chloroquine so far which is encouraging. I think people are being cautious about it because since they can't do their standard years of trial research on gold standard of sample sizes on it if it turns out not to help or let's say something helps out even more then they're basically covering their asses.
Sorry if this has already been discussed but I just read this and it struck me as interesting. I think we all believe that China under reported COVID-19 stats. The article I read said they reported 3,299 deaths as of the time of the article. Here's the interesting part, one funeral home in Wuhan received back to back shipments of 5,000 urns (two days in a row this past week). Even if 1/3 of those urns are used on COVID-19 deaths that doubles the number officially reported. Wow!
If you have any investment interests in China I'd suggest pulling out yesterday. There has been a move afoot for a while for some companies to pull out of China; this is going to kick that into overdrive.
One good thing looking at MS data: our date of symptom onset has been pretty steady for the past 6 full days of data.
In other words, for 6 days straight, about the same number of people got sick. Hopefully that number of people will not grow.
The thing with chloroquine is that there is not a treatment protocol in place for it. How many MG per dose? How many doses per day? For how long? Will it work effectively at different stages of infections, etc? Not even to mention that no one knows if it could trigger side effects that are unique to this virus and drug combo. That's why Fauci and others have said it is promising, but they don't want people randomly using it on their own.
No doubt China has lied. People can blame our government for this spreading and getting out of control all they want, but the fact is if China is honest about information and the severity of this outbreak from the start, we wouldn't be in this mess now. They locked up a Doctor who was trying to warn the global community about the disease. This is what happens in communist countries.
I hope this serves as a wake up call for us and the rest of the world that you don't need to become dependent on China. They're inept (f'n morons are eating bats). CNN says that 80% of our antibiotics come from China. That's unacceptable.
This is going to be the most hated post ever posted on this board.
But regarding blaming China:

Yeah, we are certainly more to blame than China. What a moronic statement #TDS
