Recoveries on worldometer are a pointless statistic.
They only count numbers who have recovered from hospital (having had 2 consecutive days of negative tests) wherase the huge majority here recover at home with no further testing.

They are using an outdated metric to measure this.

Indeed. It seems like a waste of tests. If someone is well enough to go home have them isolate for a few weeks after symptoms go away. Ensure they are checked up on and if symptoms worsen make a decision to go back in or not.

Either way no benefit to clog up limited testing facilities to have an "official" recovery number. It would be good to see but not worth the cost

How is the Japanese infection and death rate so low? 4k infections, 97 deaths, from a population of 126m?? And they haven't even done a complete lockdown?

There are many who believe that they may have been massaging the figures pre the postponement of this summer's Olympics.
That aside I read a report yesterday that they were starting to take the threat much more seriously and only now putting measures in place.

"Coronavirus: US car insurers refund drivers stuck at home"

Not massive refunds all things considered but better than nothing.

Note it is only two insurers. Most drivers would not get a refund unless more join up. Hopefully they will.

I think a lot of the Govts work over the next couple of weeks is going to involve softening up Bunker-Bernie and Lockdown-Larry for the easing of restrictions.

Getting small businesses back up and running has to be the absolute No. 1 priority right now.

what softening up do your propose? its been a couple of weeks so far, are you already too far gone

Hopefully most small businesses have been planning in the background about getting up and running under continued social distancing rules.

Here in Switzerland the recoveries per day has been higher than new cases so it at least shows that the hospitals are emptying. Only thing that I can take from it.

You forgot 'bedroom-dwellers', you really are a piece of work.

It's either that or you are severely affected by the measures in place.

Government's don't care about lockdown-larry

It's all about the hospitals ,if they are over run and ICU near full there will be no easing of restrictions .

What happens to road traffic accidents , normal day to day accidents on building sites,where do these people go if the ICU beds are full .

Problem with the covid patients in ICU is they spend on average 21 days in the bed ,,normally it's much lower for other cases needing the beds .

If the figures come right down restrictions will eased ,if not we are all going to be stuck in our houses for a good bit longer unfortunately.

Can anyone find analyses of peopel who did die in terms of their previous diseases (underlying health issues)
in numbers

not predictions, not estimates, not of infected people, not 'mortality rates' etc

but of people who actually died from 'coronavirus', thanks.

I think absolute no. 1 priority is still health, and should remain same.



Your posts are predictable, boring, irritating and incessant. Please eliminate 3. I am not a crackpot.

Friends mum was called back to be a nurse after 25 or so years, tested positive today after about 2/3 weeks of being back. Not around covid patients much either, just occassionaly. Must be rampant in the hospitals (this is CUH).

Average is 3, mean is 2.

Statisticians usually use mean to dictate the midrange in statiatics.

Please tell us how you've calculated the mean here.

Why would Spain have a proportionally even higher death rate than Italy then if a large percent of it's population are vaccinated

could it depend on the number of icu beds and when they got overwhelmed?? As will as at what point the started social distancing?what strain of covid they got? How many severe co morbidities per population?
Everybody please remember the Bcg vacination will not be a cure but possibly help the damping down of symptoms in infections.

Japan is in limbo. They want to avoid people to people contact by up to 80% all the while there is a law where they can't impose a lockdown. Public transport will run as normal, companies can't be forced to close and people can't be forced to stay indoors. Tokyo is gonna get out of hand in next few weeks.

It’s big enough US car insurance is every 6 months so think of your annual quote every 6 months, and it is rarely less than 4 figures

Japan also has I believe the oldest population in the world.

They are fantasy figures, if we have been doing more than 1500 test per day this week i will be surprised.
