Farts Posted March 1, 2020 #3230 Share Posted March 1, 2020 That makes 6 deaths/~700? If so, then we are sitting at just under 1% mortality. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a roller coaster for them. I wonder how accurate these tests are. Not just this couple, but others who tested one way and then another within a day or two.

They may have all been tested, but a number of those who flew back to the USA did not have the results of the tests back before the flight. So if they had been positive, the planes were a perfect place to trasmit the virus to those who did not have it. In addition, after boarding the buses to go to the airport, results fif come back positive for 14 of the passengers. People spent five hours on the buses while the USA State Department and the CDC debated whether of not those 14 should get on the planes. The State Department won and the 14 were divided between the two planes. What a SNAFU: a) Others on the buses for five hours in close contact with passengers now known to be positive b) Not following CDC advice not to put the positives on the planes c) Dividing the positives between two planes instead of putting them on just one plane. Give equal opportunity for all negative passengers on two planes to be infected during the flight instead of just those on one plane. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bear in mind that cruisers are not a representative sample of the general population. Younger people, particularly kids, barely seem to notice this bug. Kids make great spreaders of flu-like disease for exactly this reason. Hence the closure of schools in several countries. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mayleeman Posted March 1, 2020 #3236 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Without knowing how the currently ill pax will fare, you cannot calculate a meaningful mortality rate. 705 known cases, but only 16 known results, with 6 dead and 10 recovered. 689 remaining cases, of whom 36 are serious or critical. If no one else dies, less than 1% mortality. If half of the serious die, it goes up to 3.4%. Too many unknowns right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This subset is flawed and cannot be used to define any stats 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
