CoronaVirus

In reading about the number of deaths in each country. Each country is using different methods of determining on how a person has died. Some countries are not reporting deaths caused by the virus if the person had other health issues. China is one of them. That why their deaths are so low. Estimates put the death toll around 48,000.

Recalling a scene from M*A*S*H where Winchester is threatened with court-martial (April fools joke by Potter & friend): "Leavenworth. MY GOD, THAT'S IN KANSAS!" LOL

Italy is not counting undiagnosed deaths from people who are afraid to go to hospital and then die at home. Nor are they doing tests post-mortem for people who come to hospital and die before treatment. A hospital administrator in Lombardia estimated the death toll to be more than 4x the official number. TO HAMMER THAT POINT HOME, NEARLY 4,000 PEOPLE A DAY ARE ACTUALLY DYING OF THIS IN ITALY.

I suspect that it will be the same elsewhere (Spain, the UK, Germany and even parts of the US and Canada, although not as bad on this continent yet).

There needs to be a standard on these statistics. Here, if you die in a car accident (or any other way) and they find the virus in your system, youre counted as a corona virus statistic.

What about someone who commits suicide in fear of the virus but tests negative post mortem? I think that should count as a corona virus statistic.

Well, for someone from Bahston (or however they pronounce it), going to Kansas is like being exiled to BFE.

There ain't much here outside of cows and wheat fields......
