That does not seem to include Apples partner the CCP.

guess i was right
@lnxw37a2 @mewmew @FOX10Phoenix Interesting. I do largely agree.
Do you think that there are more undiagnosed #Coronavirus deaths than falsely reported #Coronavirus deaths? I personally don't 100% believe the death count but am choosing to go along with it, since we have no better numbers. But if we have plenty of undiagnosed #Coronavirus deaths that should surely balance things out. Right?
@realcaseyrollins @mewmew @FOX10Phoenix The only thing about death percentages is that they change as we get more info. For example, we have thousands of "excess deaths" this year that are not known to be coronavirus related. In the future, some fraction of these will be determined to have been untested / undiagnosed COVID-19, which will raise the percentages after the fact.
So people's risk assessments based on a then-current view of death percentages will be wrong. Maybe wrong enough to have changed their behavior, maybe not.
Incidentally, I agree that the messaging around masks was a wrong move. They should have said "we need the good masks for medical people, but you can make your own" from the beginning, instead of "don't wear masks unless you're sick or a doctor".
The experience of Asia (where they've had multiple respiratory virus outbreaks over the last few decades) should have offered guidance that there was some perceived benefit to masking up. My nephew sent me a package from South Korea with dozens of government issued disposable masks.

@lnxw37a2 @mewmew @FOX10Phoenix On the contrary, numbers are useless and tell us nothing. Percentages tell us how likely we are to die from the #Coronavirus. Total death counts tell us how many have. To make a medical plan it's necessary to know not only the likelihood of death but also the effectiveness of preventative measures.
@lnxw37a2 @mewmew @FOX10Phoenix
P.S. the reason I'm saying to watch the percentages is that there's a very real likelihood that more people could die from the #Coronavirus than the Spanish Flu because of population density, but that does not speak to the deadliness of the disease. I deadly bioweapon may kill say a thousand people in a stadium, but that doesn't mean it's less dangerous than than a flu that kills tens of thousands of people in a nation of millions.
@lnxw37a2 @mewmew @FOX10Phoenix
Well since we don't know the efficiency of non-N95 masks, we don't know that the death rate will increase substantially.
And remember to follow not the death numbers, but the percentage of people who get it that die. That is the true measure of its deadliness.
@lnxw37a2 @mewmew @FOX10Phoenix I don't think the worst in necessarily over tho. The are likely countless immunocompromised and elderly people who haven't been exposed. The key will be finding an effective way to isolate or protect them from the rest of the population. By and large most people will be fine, but people in those groups won't.
@realcaseyrollins @mewmew @FOX10Phoenix That's standard when testing is involved. In early stages, they only test obviously very sick people or those in close contact with them. As testing increases, testing expands and catches people that are less sick, such as asymptomatic or presymptomatic.
@lnxw37a2 @mewmew @FOX10Phoenix So? The issue is not infections but deaths. "Of course it's deadly, lotsa people get it" is not a logical argument pointing to lethality.
Remember that 675,000 deaths in the #USA were caused by the Spanish flu, so we'd need 67.5 million total infections to reach that number.

@lnxw37a2 @mewmew @FOX10Phoenix Why is the death rate going down while infection rates rise? Surely this must be some highly deadly disease...🙄
