Cratter Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 There was a global pandemic in 2005. Bird flu pandemic 'could kill 150m' Quote She said the "best case scenario" would be 7.4 million deaths globally. Fast forward 15 years... Less than 500 people have died worldwide. Oops. Guess they were a little off on those projections.
UND1983 Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 Biggest election in our countries history and a pandemic breaks out that is instantly being politicized. Hmmm....... 2

You missed the big "if" in that article, which was if the bird flu virus mutates and becomes readily transmissible between people.

But seriously, that definitely plays into UM's hands some since they're used to playing in an empty arena, and if nothing else eliminates some of the home ice advantage of having a good crowd that would be at Pegula. 2

Quote could mutate into a form transmittable between people. It later did mutate into a form transmittable between people. Quote "A flu outbreak is imminent but no one knows if it will be next week or in three years' time," a WHO spokeswoman said. "It is really difficult to know how many people will be infected but we know we have to get prepared." She said the "best case scenario" would be 7.4 million deaths globally. They later learned it wasn't as easily transmittable between people are they originally thought.

farce poobah Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 Dr. Brian Monahan, attending physician of the US Congress, told staffers to expect 70-160 million infections among the US population. 1 in 3.

Didn't say what about the remaining 20%. https://www.axios.com/congressional-physician-predicts-75-150-million-us-coronavirus-cases-fec69e77-1515-4fbc-8340-c53b65c22c53.html

And some are saying that's a low number. Could be 60%. Some crazy stuff!

Cratter Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 Some math: (updated) Quote including statistical modeling from Harvard epidemiologist Marc Lipsitch, have said that somewhere between 20% and 60% of adults worldwide might catch the virus. Middle range 40%. 40% of USA adult (over 18) populations is 83,000,000 That's how many in the USA adults are likely to get coronavirus. Quote Dr. Brian Monahan, the attending physician of the U.S. Congress, told staffers that about 80% of people who contract coronavirus will ultimately be fine, one of the sources said. 20% of 83,000,000 is 16,000,000 The experts right now best guess scenario is 16,000,000 Americans adults wont "ultimately be fine" from Coronavirus. Quote What is the mortality rate of the new coronavirus? It is probably about or a bit less than 1%. Much higher figures have been flying about, but the chief medical officer, Chris Whitty, is one of those who believes it will prove to be 1% or lower. 1% of 83,000,000 is 830,000. Best guess numbers right now say 830,000 American Adults will die from the coronavirus.
