Coronavirus COVID-19 - Global Health Pandemic #57

[CSIDreamer]

Best thing is to check on Worldometers site for the Country figures which is what I quoted. US State deaths per population don't appear to be shown on the wordometers states section so manual calculations or other sources are needed.

I can see the deaths per population on worldmeter. Weird.

I can see the deaths per population on worldmeter. Weird.

Only for the countries. I could not find a column on the individual states. Here's what I am looking at.

Coronavirus Update (Live): 4,833,463 Cases and 317,225 Deaths from COVID-19 Virus Pandemic - Worldometer

USA deaths per million column = 275

United States Coronavirus: 1,529,291 Cases and 91,005 Deaths - Worldometer

Michigan deaths per million = 490

Forgive me - the state level does show it.

Its county level that doesn't show it. See California counties in link below.

California Coronavirus: 80,265 Cases and 3,289 Deaths (COVID-19 ) - Worldometer

Help me with math. If the US is at 250 deaths per 100,000.

That would be 2500 per million wouldn't it?

2500 X 330 (for 330 million) would be 825,000 deaths, wouldn't it?

You got an extra zero in your US deaths per 100,000.
The death rate in US is: 27.37 per 100,000

Don't actually try to follow the numbers using any type of logic.

You have to use the right numbers for them to make sense.

If you click on USA it takes you to the states. I have to scroll over because I'm on my phone to see all the state stats.

That was my point lol. Another poster was contending the death rate for the US is 250 per 100,000. I'm saying the same thing you are.

Belgium doesn't appear to be the only country where government wants to pretend that everything is peachy rosy.

Belgium, 784 deaths per million

Belgium Coronavirus: 55,559 Cases and 9,080 Deaths - Worldometer

Yeah, sorry I was thinking of the counties. I have edited my last post to add the state and county links to view. Looking at too many numbers today.

Football club apologises for 'sex dolls' in stands

I really can't believe this report but LOL.

What happened at the match?
On Sunday, FC Seoul played their first home match of the K League season.

The ground was empty - one of many measures designed to prevent a Covid-19 outbreak.

So before the match, a company called Dalcom offered to fill some of the empty seats, and the club agreed.

In total, there were 30 mannequins - 28 of them female, and two of them male.

However, fans watching online noticed that some of the mannequins looked more like sex dolls - and some were advertising x-rated websites - leading to the club apologising on Instagram and Facebook.

25 deaths per 100,000 not 250 per 100,000

(Actually the data from today says 28 deaths per 100,000)

The evidence that smoking offers any benefit in preventing covid is kind of shady. There could be less smokers admitted to hospitals than in a general population because most seriously affected victims are older and by that time a lot of them might have stopped smoking. People are also known to lie when asked about their bad habits. Nicotine is addictive. I am not sure it's such a good idea to use it as a potential treatment.

I did not find the patches at all addictive when I was giving up smoking some years ago. I wasn't a particularly heavy smoker though.

"They don't want to come back to work," said Cano. "It's the unemployment. They're receiving about $840 a week, which puts them about $22 an hour."
