Coronavirus math

I'm not introducing politics or political correctness into the conversation.
Bullshit. The official name is not Chinese Virus. Just like H1N1 is not the Mexican flu.
The location where the virus originated and it's use in describing the disease should not be offensive to anyone. Claiming otherwise is just communism manipulating gullible people via social influencing. Gullible people often want to be viewed as being trendy and "in the know". Correcting other people that aren't perceived as being as trendy is just being pretentious and smug. Don't fall for it. Ignore twitter, and ignore the social media trends. They aren't real.
The virus originated in Wuhan China.
It is no more a "Chinese virus" than AIDS should be called a "Homosexual" virus. Even though it was most prevalent in the gay community
By the way, the US is planning on withholding funding from WHO because of the massive coverup and disinformation campaign that the communist gov propagated in conjunction with the director of WHO.
"Calls for the director of the World Health Organization to resign, calling him an “accomplice to China’s massive coverup” as the world grapples with the coronavirus pandemic."
So don't cite WHO as a source.

So?
It's not called that now.
And Covid-19 was never called the Chinese virus by anyone qualified to name it.
So your point is meaningless

Agreed, What is the big deal giving it a descriptive name based on where it came from? What's next, we cannot say we are "Ordering Chinese" when we get takeaway?
the problem is that it gives haters, who are always looking for a reason to hate some group fresh meat
there are many stories of those with Asian heritage facing nastiness here in America and across the world because of Covid 19 thanks to the world having so many haters

haters love to hate and trolls love to troll

The same point BBB made. Your continued use of calling a virus known as Covid-19, the official name, by a racial designation seemingly to push people's political buttons.
It's not called Chinese virus regardless of your rationale. You don't get to call stuff what you want. The world calls it Covid-19.

The name isn't going to evolve. Both the virus and the disease it causes have names assigned by the medical authorities. The disease COVID-19 is caused by the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2.
Quote: lilredroosterI started tracking the no. of U.S. deaths per CDC day by day

unfortunately, in one day the total increased by a lot; by more than 3,000; much more than the previous day increase

100 years ago, the world was hit by a deadly pandemic during the last months of WWI: the Spanish Flu went on to kill millions of people around the globe.

A. Calling the virus the Chinese virus would be appropriate if discussing its origin.

When the economy opens up, the only people who should be working are those who have antibodies from previous encounters with the virus. How do you propose keeping people without antibodies from spreading the disease? It's looking more and more that the entire NYC outbreak was the result of less than a dozen passengers arriving from Europe. Forget the vaccine, it is maybe 18 months away. What would you propose we do next month to keep people who don't have the antibodies from acting like they do? Hand out id cards?
Quote: billryanWhen the economy opens up, the only people who should be working are those who have antibodies from previous encounters with the virus. How do you propose keeping people without antibodies from spreading the disease?
With successful social distancing, it is possible only 10% of the population may have antibodies. Are you proposing we accept a 90% unemployment rate?
I cannot prevent people without antibodies from spreading the disease. I am willing to accept a non-zero number of theoretically preventable deaths. I may be one of them. I may be a flu death, also. I may die from second hand smoke. Maybe a plane crash.
Maybe a terrorist attack. Maybe a virus that doesn't exist yet.
As soon as the hospitals can handle the volume of patients in a reasonable fashion, I would be in favor of opening up the economy.

Thankfully, the people who will make that decision value life more than money. Dr Birx said yesterday that the number they are looking for is 60 deaths or less per day.
I am proposing nothing. Gov. Cuomo has stated the NY economy will not reopen until a test for anti-bodies is practical and that only those with anti-bodies will be permitted to return to work. Opening the economy too soon will invalidate all the work we have done so far.

These days many people want to be viewed as being progressive, trendy and in the know so they carefully follow Twitter and other social media. So when someone like Madonna or Kim Kardasian posts, the gullible and naive eagerly follow and imitate them. This is why you see so many pretentious and smug people judging other people that they feel aren't being progressive enough.
I for one don't care what the social media has to say. I will still call it the Chinese virus. I will still call the Spanish Flu the Spanish Flu. I will still call Lyme disease Lyme disease. I will still order Chinese food. I will still eat Mexican food every other Tuesday. The pretentious snobs can feel free to report me via twitter to Madonna and Kim.
And the Kansas City Chiefs rule!!! (Yes, believe it or not I'm part unprogressive American Indian. I guess I should twitter Madonna and ask her if I have offended myself!

You're a troublemaker. You choose to talk however you wish when you could use more neutral language. I could do the same and be thrown off the board.
Let's see if you get what you deserve.
"The Chinese government has issued false statements accusing the U.S. military of starting the covid-19 coronavirus."
"There is considerable government intelligence and considerable reporting from the media that China is massively underreporting the covid-19 cases and deaths in their country."
"There have been media reports alleging that the covid-19 coronavirus was accidently released from a Chinese govenrment laboratory."
"MSNBC's parent company is building a theme park in Beijing, China with (massive) financial investment from the Chinese government. Judging from the recent situation with the NBA, the Chinese Communist Party has been known to take a disproportionately large response against its financial partners if and when they criticize China. Therefore, the unwillingness of MSNBC to criticize China in any way is seen by some observers as an unannounced conflict of interest that has deformed their reporting."
The above are all factual statements. These statements are neither political nor racist. They do not slur an ethnic group nor espouse a partisan political viewpoint. They may be helpful in that they inform the understanding of the covid-19 outbreak and the evolving U.S relationship with the Chinese government during this crisis.
Now, let's get back to discussing the math of the Coronavirus projections.

I was just about to say the same.
While lots of diseases have names that are regionally named "Spanish flu, Russian Flu, etc, this one is NOT named Chinese Flu. It's named Covid-19 or Sars-2
Choosing to name it a particular race disease on your own (and I am certain Keyser is not an official disease nomenclature designator) is just racist.
The spanish flu didnt originate from spain.

Yet Spain is not whining about the name.
I went into advanced auto today. The cashier joked to the asian “your kind is not welcome here”. My employees are using the virus to insult asians. How can you assume that the spanish were not victimized by this naming. The naming was not well thought out. Racism was more acceptable back then. Would you mind if we call this the USA virus

I'm not introducing politics or political correctness into the conversation.
Bullshit. The official name is not Chinese Virus. Just like H1N1 is not the Mexican flu.

Besides sad those are actually the types of Coronavirus related lawsuit's that might occur.
Otherwise, I'll use a more appropriate name.

I call BS. More fake twitter propaganda. Did Kim or Madonna tell you that? If only we were as cool as they are.
The US has plenty of named viruses like Lyme (Lyme Conn.) and Norovirus (Norwalk Ohio). The location of a virus doesn't make it racist. Ignore social media. There's currently another virus circulating on social media. It's called stupidity.
Now, how about those new virus numbers?

Yesterday the US had 14,000 dead
Today it's 16,200. Day not over yet.
So more than 2,000 dead today alone
