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.
As a doctor.. in Dallas… I can guarantee you that:
1.90% of deaths were >65 yrs old
2. 90% of those died of underlying non COVID disease, CAD, COPD, CA etc.
3. Covid test (+) equals Covid death (per the scarf queen..)
4. Hospitals get about 28K more per “COVID” admission than other dx.
So – your overall math is correct, but the real story is that above…
