- Trasmatta 6y ago5 million confirmed cases, not current, most of which are recovered by this point. Likely a much larger number total, though. I don't think we have the data about the severity of each of those cases to really know much. It's deadly in some situations (enough to make this a very serious disease), serious in others, and mild in many more. As for the exact numbers, who knows? There's absolutely a selection bias in places like that subreddit though, as the people most likely to be there are those with serious cases.
- Wasser 6y ago5 Million cases for a something we are trying to get rid of. Something which has now killed 3times more people than the flu. Something which should have 'gone away' in summer. Isn't the issue not what numbers we currently have (which is bad) but numbers which we would have if we would NOT do what we do? We could have had New York, Italy or Spain globally everywhere...
- dehrmann 6y agoThere's still a big sampling bias in that.
- uniqueid 6y agoI value one anecdote from a proper journalist more than a thousand Reddit posts. It might be the case that half of Reddit's users are actually truthful, but since half are pathological liars, I consider the site entirely worthless for this sort of information. There's no surefire way to know which half is which.
