The truth of the matter is it's even lower than that at this specific moment in time. How much, who knows, but there are likely thousands upon thousands of people who have the virus and have not been tested, and likely thousands more who have had it, recovered from it, and were never tested. So the 'actual' fatality rate is a total unknown at the moment, and may never be fully known even when this crisis has subsided. Again, the people throwing around numbers and estimates right now are doing everyone a huge disservice. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom.

https://www.whas11.com/article...10-9351-030dd0954387 A new organization (COVID Act Now) that I’ve never heard of before is now being quoted by the Democrat Kentucky Gov with more drastic numbers. I searched the organization’s name and found some suspicious political leanings of its founders. Convenient that they just showed up and have made a big splash. Color me SUSPICIOUS about them and their motives. --------------------- DJT-45/47 MAGA !!!!!

I always have cooked dinner at home other than ordering pizza every now and then, but I would eat at fast food or at delis every single day while at work. I stopped eating any food out 6+ weeks ago. So I am going through way more groceries than normal. The one thing I didn't figure out, while I was still working and went from eating a combo meal with a coke to turkey, ham, or roast beef and cheese sammys, why didn't I loose any weight? I ate pretty damn healthy for a month and didn't drop a single pound, probably saving 400 calories a day. Strange. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

This number can be believed with some level of confidence. This number is complete BS. New York has no clue how many people have the virus currently so they have no accurate means to provide such an estimate. If they want to report on confirmed cases and actual deaths fine. But there isn't adequate data available to accurately extrapolate beyond those numbers. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom.

I saw the Martin video a few days ago. I love the fact that he just hits record, plays a good tune, and hit's stop. Just being a cool dude. I have the heart of a lion.......and a lifetime ban from the Toronto Zoo.- Unknown | |||

But instead of taking a traditional course of action of isolating the old and vulnerable, and for the rest to practice common sense cleanliness and hygiene but otherwise keep the economy chugging along, we went full on Fauci and used incomplete data to destroy the economy in short order and financially ruin millions of people and businesses. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||

I don’t believe the numbers because deaths are being reported as Covid deaths even if cause of death is not Covid but person tests positive. Also most people are not symptomatic and aren’t tested. That being said the math above is wrong. Have to multiply by 100 for percentage. That’s 2.5%. These go to eleven. | |||

We have more cases not just because of population density, but we're probably testing more people than anywhere else. I need to get some photos of the giant drive through test site near my place of employment. (same place the Army Corp of engineers and various contractors are currently throwing up two giant field hospitals, at a shocking rate of speed I might add) _____________________________________________________ Sliced bread, the greatest thing since the 1911. | |||

No doubt there are serious issues in NY, but if press report I saw is correct, the numbers are either wildly inflated.... or if true, Cuomo and company are totally and criminally negligent.. The USN Hospital ship Comfort only has 20 beds in use out of the available 1000. | |||

Now they are reconsidering allowing COVID-19 patients on the ship.... "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

There's a reason I didn't take issue with the math or correct it because ultimately its irrelevant based on the other comments I posted. There is no data available at this point in time to accurately extrapolate anything approaching accurate estimates. Period. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom. Every man should have several guns. And several dogs, because a man with a cat is a woman.

Walmart to hop on the Home Depot bandwagon beginning tomorrow, limiting the number of people in the store at one time, but taking it a step further and making all the aisles one-way. Walmart Sam's is "encouraging" members to limit it to 2 people per membership at a time. | |||

I drove past a Sonic earlier, and it was full... in every other spot. Could've been coincidence, of course, but it looked like folks just figured it out on their own and followed suit. Nothing was keeping anyone from parking in between, but no one did on either side. | |||

at 180,000 sqft on average per store: "Stores will now allow no more than five customers for each 1,000 square feet at a given time, roughly 20 percent of a store’s capacity." so how many will be allowed in the store? This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it. -Rear Admiral (Lower Half) Joshua Painter Played by Senator Fred Thompson | |||
