The Florida ‘Rona Scare. How much worse do we fare against the “experts” and World?
Checking some stuff about the Kung Flu, Google popped this in its page.
So a quick math shows that worldwide, 2.2% deaths out of 11 million tested* cases. The United States deaths pulls 1.77% out of 28 million tested cases. Florida under the evil leadership of Governor DeSantis goes for 1.59% out of 1.86 million cases and my dear Miami-Dade county rakes in 1.37% from 400,000 tested cases.
First glaring indicator is that worldwide and using the not sot accurate marker of cases tested positive, ‘Rona has a 97.78% of being survived. That survival percentage increases in the US and even more in Florida and almost drops a full point in Miami Dade, the most populous county in the state.
I kept messing with my math and figured out that if the world would have followed the example of how things were done in Florida (and I grant you it has not been 100% perfect) and assuming worldwide we could get a 1.59% death rate, that would mean that 679,318 lives could have been saved.
And if Florida had followed the example of World and its experts, the body count would be a 40,920 or 11,229 more corpses. But DeSantis would probably be considered a not-so-bad Governor because he kept us locked down and killed the State’s economy.
As usual, check my numbers as I have been know to mess up even with a calculator, but the initial stats do come from “verified” sources.
(*) I know there could be many more tens of hundreds of thousands infected but untested thus lowering the death rate. But we go with what we have.
