    Its just impossible at this stage to give death rate, because if you look only at closed cases which is 10% death rate that does not account for the possible 10s of 1000s of "closed" cases where people in perhaps December or January just got what they thought was a "bad dose", recovered and thought nothing more of it till news started getting out about it, especially younger people who believed they'd no reason to worry.


    For all we know Ireland might even already have closed cases.


    that's true, the unreported cases are the big mistery but as we go along more and more actual data is being filed. The % rates are starting to become more consistent. Don't forget that deaths can also go unreported

    No.

    His first one is a data-set around all total cases 78000 peace’s of data.

    His second one is closed cases . 25800 total pieces of data

    If a person uses a . Mic uses B...... someone uses B data Mic will use A.

    Pointless

    He’s saying the death rate is 3-10 %

    It can either be 3 or 10 % depending which data set you use.

    This again? It's still a number n in the equation that has a massive effect on the final number. Just because you can't assign a value to it currently doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It's existence can and only will reduce the death rate.
    For unresolved cases the number of infected is not a static number. You are assuming that number and the number of recoveries doesn't also go up in somewhat the same proportion as deaths. I'd imagine serious testing needs to be done to even close a case on a recovery so there's a lag on data there. Where as death data is more readily available.


    I am not assuming anything, i copy/paste numbers from an official source.

    Get on to them if you don't like them. There is nothing esle for you to add. They are stats, Key Indicators

    Can but are far more unlikely. Clutching at straws now.

    Are we not doing right thing to avoid chinese people? Is that not good advice? Thousands of Chinese people in Ireland returned to China for Chinese New Year, and they all returned back to Ireland afterwards.
    I know a chinese restaurant that closed for 4 weeks as they went back to China, it will reopen soon, so you think it's fine to go eat there when they open.? Us Irish would risk it just not to offend someone? Geez

    I'm reporting both stats because i'm being questioned the data.
    A death rate is always only calculated on closed cases, possibly all reported cases and no more open cases

    You think he made a good point there?

    The proportion of unreported deaths vs mild recoveries at home would be minuscule. Chinese people like most are very family oriented. (No pun intended)

    There aren't going to be many left at home to die unknown to anyone.

    So what’s recovered rate based on?

    At this stage its gone beyond China, I suspect in the coming month new cases outside China will out strip those inside China. Italy I would think is a bigger risk now wit the amount of interconnection. Chines new year waas 25 January so I suspect most people would be well back by now, if you want to be totally sure avoid your Chines restaurant until 14 days after the last person returned from China.

    source? show us the data
    people die everyday, do you think they all get tested for corona virus after they are dead?

    27 days if this is correct https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-china-health-incubation-idUKKCN20G072?utm_campaign=trueAnthem%3A+Trending+Content&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=facebook

    Up to 157 cases in Italy now. They are testing like mad over there. Up from 113 earlier. Big decisions to be made in the next day or two re flights to Italy.

    If it is correct, it does seem to be an outlier. I think we need to start checking people boarding flights from Italy to here. Or Italy needs to be checking passengers.

    So what is your point? Conspiracy that they are hiding the true dead numbers? Evidence for that?

    Do I really have to show data on what is a perfectly logical argument?

    For the death rate to go up from unreported deaths it would have to outnumber unreported recoveries. How likely do you think that is?

    Common sense would tell you that unreported recoveries would far outnumber unreported deaths.

    Nah thats rubbish.


    Best thing to do is come to a conclusion and then find evidence that fits the narrative.

    Posting stuff like that is scary and if we decide it is not true and say it often enough it will be so.

    You said the following

    Death rate is always calculated on closed cases = 10%

    Is recovery rate also based on closed case? = 90%

    As of today, Recovery rate = 30%

    Two flights touched down from Milan earlier in Dublin where we still have zero checks for the virus, in an international airport. It beggers belief.

    So you are making the argument that it's possible unreported deaths outnumber unreported recoveries.

    I don't need data to show how preposterous that idea is.

    Is recovery rate also based on closed case?


    I reported both, you can see the recovery rate for close cases and for closed+open cases
    Personally i wouldn't bother with any stats that contain almost 70% of unknown outcomes in it.

    The number of closed cases is increasing and the rate are starting to revel trends, it's good data

    unreported cases = imaginary number
    The official stats don't contain imaginary numbers, clear?
