By April multiple companies will be able to produce 1mil + of these tests a week we are doing more tests than anyone in the world, I dont know what else you can expect.

Leeson 54 Posted March 26, 2020 18 minutes ago, Patriotsfatboy1 said: I don’t think it is a good comparison. For China, it was a novel virus. There were no tests. We had a head start. A better comparison is South Korea and how much they tested. I thought that China created their own test early on? The reason I wanted to see testing numbers based on percent of population is because China has a billion more people than the U.S. I'm not sure how the U.S could have tested more people at week 4 of the outbreak than China at week 14 with the difference in total population.

(which is .16% of total population). It still doesn't show how many people China tested. If the same percent of people were tested in China, that would mean they tested 2.1 million people.

KSB2424 3,082 Posted March 26, 2020 No offense, but one shouldn’t take any data from China. False data is worse than no data. Similarly Russia has reported 800 total cases (yeah okay) and North Korea.....zero! Delete that out of any models. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What was the accuracy of their "test". If they tested roughly 4 times as many people, the accuracy of their test would need to be 25% for the numbers to be considered similar. I get it that we can't trust the numbers coming out of China. But, to disregard that the U.S has now surpassed every other country (including China) is downplaying for the sake of downplaying. We are still in the thick of things where China is now seeing some semblance of normalcy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted March 26, 2020 People say China is lying about their numbers, which they are. The US, maybe purposely maybe not, is also hiding info by not testing more people.

tanatastic 2,061 Posted March 27, 2020 It’s not possible logistically to get accurate measures of who is getting tested. There are too many people that ride it out at home or want to avoid huge medical bills that won’t get tested. Then there’s legions of people walking around right now that don’t know they have it and won’t get sick for a week. None of that matters anyway. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why did we wait so long to shut down flights into this country? What if we had shut down all inbound flights in January? How could that decision possibly have hurt the US economy more than what we are doing now? There have been instances in the past, 9-11 comes to mind, where we allow the government to completely alter our long term reality in response to a singular event.
