Comments

US %Deaths/Cases continue to decline due to increases in testing. This also tracks treatment learning-curve and patient outcome improvement. States with over 7% did the worst job, including New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Connecticut.  Higher %Deaths/Cases also reflects patient pre-existing health issues, population density, public transit, international travel and economic activity.

The increase in new cases is driven by the increase in testing. It is the denominator in the %deaths/cases, so increases in cases lowers the % of deaths. Deaths have resulted in 7% of the cases and 80% of deaths occur with patients who are age 65 and older.

Time spent out-of-doors might help. California and Florida fared better than average. Developing immunity and eliminating pre-existing conditions should be pursued. Weight loss will help reverse and avoid Diabetes II.  Taking vitamins A, C, D, E, magnesium and zinc will strengthen immunity.

Medicine is a “trial and error” endeavor aimed at improving outcomes. The important work is being done by practicing physicians and their staffs to prevent deaths. 

The 1918-1919 Spanish Flu was a virus that reached 500 million cases requiring treatment and 50 million deaths worldwide. 675,000 deaths were in the US. It affected all age groups and lasted for 2 years.

The 2019-2020 Wuhan Covid19 virus is approaching 22 million cases and 770,000 deaths worldwide. During the first 6 months of this virus, tests were given to patients with symptoms that required treatment.  Now most cases are asymptomatic carriers and this testing is driving down death counts. The value of testing is tracking to avoid spreading the virus.  We are also curious about how asymptomatic carriers avoid becoming ill. Immediate accurate test results and immediate early treatment are necessary.
