| trunkswd said: The number of confirmed cases isn't that alarming, because it is only going up as more people get tested. What is important is number of deaths and number of confirmed cases compared to the number of people tested. |
Time matters in such reguards.
It hit europe and started really spreading, long before same started happending in the USA.
Why does that matter?
Because deaths from this virus doesnt come soon as you get it.
You spend like a week or two, fighting it, in a hospital on a ventilator before dieing.
I would say the most important numbers are the:
Number of infected, requireing hospital care.
Number of hospital beds, avaliable.
Number of infected, requireing ventilators.
Number of ventilator units, avalible.
I agree you shouldn't be overly alarmed by number of confirmed cases, riseing due to testing.
Its always better knowing, the way things are, than being in the dark.
