I am sure Trump wanted to beat Putin to this punch. Well, I am not sure Trump would have used his own daughter though, a niece maybe, but not a daughter.
The 1st link below show deaths per million population (column on far right) in countries.
I realize political agendas distort number of deaths attributed to CV and are manipulated over/under in reporting, but it is about the only thing we have for comparative purposes.
Reported: US has 500 deaths per million rate.
Wouldn't dividing the 500 deaths by 1 million give you the % of deaths for 1 million of the population of the US (0.0005)?
Then, that number (.0005) would be applicable for all 331 million population for the US?
This is the table that I used online:
Decimal to percent Conversion
Enter decimal number: 0.0005
Convert
Percent result: .05% (This would be 5 hundreths of 1%)
This seems way too low.
Not a math person, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
A friend was telling me the death rate of CV in the US was less than 1% but this is way beyond "less than 1%."

I was also looking at death rates per states in the US (link below).
He lives in a state incredibly low & he gives me grief b/c I wear a mask when around others.
IN has 45 deaths so far, much lower than some other states.
Most surrounding states are a little higher than IN.
I told him Indy was the 13 largest city in the US so my experience/attitude is different, plus my wife is high risk & I can't be bringing home something from an asymptomatic person.
He knows of noone who has had CV, but in my different circles I do, although fortunately, like I've read on INGO, it has been mild, not unlike other viruses.

Deaths "per population" will be more useful when the epidemic is over or some similar parameter: like we go back to close contact and large events and most of us have potentially been exposed.
Using it now is like giving 1 out of 20 people a new vehicle to drive and declaring the safety rate of that vehicle based on EVERYONE's accident rate.

Comparing between countries on a "per population" basis might be useful if they got hit the same time, have similar cultures etc. Otherwise they might just be at a different place on the curve.
Too funny! The analogy is a fail in my book for your point. It does work perfectly for my point, testing only the sick, those that fear they are sick, and others with the motivation to get tested "is like giving 1 out of 20 people a new vehicle to drive and declaring the safety rate of that vehicle based on EVERYONE's accident rate."
I don't know about the whole country, but Indiana has the total ICU bed availability and the percentages used for COVID, used for other purposes and unused., on its "dashboard".

I see no reason to test a non-critical person with symptoms. been saying this for five months.

My employer just announced that testing is available by appointment, but if you're symptomatic at the time of your appointment, do a virtual screening or see your primary HCP.
Mask or not, I don’t really care all that much. Reading the headline of the screenshot, indicates that you have to have a license to run a gym. And people are just going nuts that they’re being asked to wear a mask.The gym owners clean the place up. And ask why their business is deemed not okay, when others in the same building are. Especially when the case can be made that being healthy is important.
Also, a Dept. of Nat. Resources has asked it's employees to wear a mask during zoom meetings, even if they are BY THEMSELVES. To give an "appearance".
And someone wants to charge non-mask wearers for "attempted murder".

Let’s fix a real problem.
I know it’s too late, but a fella can dream, can’t he?
