Who cares whose math is right ! You all have got your head in the sand.
OPEN THE COUNTRY.
2.4% is still higher than the actual death rate. You are only calculating based on the number of confirmed cases. There are many that aren’t tested or don’t fit criteria for test, there are many with little to no symptoms. In Santa Clara, New York, Miami they conducted antibody testing and found many, many more had it that expected. The extrapolated death rate from all those areas ended up being 0.05%. A little more than the Flu, but hardly.
mathman,
Mortality rates are not calculated relative to an entire population, it is relative only to total number of infected. Because never in the history of the world has 100% of a population been infected with anything! ..other than stupid. 2.4% is a “case fatality rate” and guess what, SARS had a “Case fatality rate” of nearly 10%! Just one example of many much worse viruses. Yes people have died and people will die, its kinda what we do. This does indeed warrant some public reaction, just not an overreaction. I recommend turning off the news every now and then. And when you hear something remember that there’s a really good possibility that your not getting the full context. “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but one of power, love, and sound judgment.” 2Timothy1:7
Mathman…..you stay home and be safe I have bills to pay and a life to live….i,ll be cautious but not gonna fearfully live my life…
Mathman, your numbers are correct but the premise is wrong. Your are assuming every person in Escambia County is going to contract the virus to come up that number of deaths which is highly improbable. Nobody is saying any number of deaths are acceptable but people do need to get back to work. Cardiovascular deaths in the U.S. are around 650,000 a year alone but we keep going. The longer we wait to open the economy the harder it will be to dig out of this hole our future generations may pay dearly for it.
Ok now lets really crunch the numbers using real math – 457/11 = .024 which is 2.4%, extrapolate that using the population of Escambia County FL which is approx 318,000.
318,000 x .024 (2.4 percent) leaves us with a potential of 7632 deaths in our county – to me and most human beings, that number is NOT acceptable, and should not be traded for any amount of $$$
Stay Home, STOP the spread, SAVE LIVES!!!
Dawn your math is flawed, please get help, the correct answer is 2.4%. Escambia County has had 11 deaths since April 4th, meaning 1 death every 2 days attributed to covid-19. Are your saying that’s an acceptable price to pay for those with this virus? I hope not.
Dawn,
In order to convert a decimal into a percentage you must multiply the decimal by 100.
So, your .024 decimal figure correlates to 2.4%
11÷457×100=2.4
“I keep noticing the “0″ for the youngest Escambia County case. Does anyone know if it means that children have died at birth or that no children died,”
It means the person or persons was less than 1 year old….a few months old.
Ok, let’s now crunch the numbers for Escambia county. As of today there are 457 positive cases and there are 11 deaths. That’s a death rate of .024. The damage that’s being done to our economy as well as our society may be beyond coming back from. Please people, help me spread this info far and wide and let’s get back to work! If you’re sick or have symptoms then stay home, if you’re elderly or have underlying health issues take extra precautions. If youre in neither category wear masks or gloves if you like but its time to get this country open for business again!
I keep noticing the “0″ for the youngest Escambia County case. Does anyone know if it means that children have died at birth or that no children died, i.e. Not Applicable?
