The Latest Coronavirus Data Are Out — and the Number of Infected People Keeps Growing

[volente_00]

And since we are talking data and numbers


Explain why such a low number of cases in India ?

114 cases with 1 billion population


Lack of mobility due to extreme poverty ?


Also if you look at the cases, there seems to be some correlation between distance from the equator which indicates higher temperature plays a big role in keeping this virus in check.

Then there's Singapore. Occam's razor here, for at least a couple hundred years we've known that transmitted diseases spread when there is high population density and high mobility. Why grasp for completely unsupported assertions like "high" temperature when a couple hundred years worth of data supports the obvious conclusion...unless you're still grasping the random, uneducated crap that Trump continuously spews?

If you want to do something proactive, go to the Health section and read my threads about what you can do to mitigate the virus. It won't prevent the infection but you will have a much easier time.

I expect a Christmas card in 9 months...

Another interesting question, so if I may:

1. We are in the beginning of this and not much testing in India, specially among the poor. So the real numbers are much worse.
2. Possible poor people have better immunity due to not having such a sterile environment all the time.
3. Kratom baby, kratom!
4. There might be something in their food that protects them up to a degree. Spicy food, turmeric, whatever.
5. The virus has a harder time in hot countries.
6. India still has the plague, yet no big outbreaks anymore. Last was in 1994.

6. india also has the plague (the fucking plague for God's sake!!) yet there are no plague outbreaks.

Poor people don't fly to Italy

Creating dependence , all you do by involving gov....more fragile because your conditioning people to not take care of themselves....

Good rebuke;
+exactly right.Its like Dave Ramsey said, get out of the cave, kill something+ drag it back into the cave .LOL/True
The stinking media is so negative on DOW; one of my benchmarks is still above 200 dma = SDOW.Looks like some are taking profits/SDOW + may get back in again ?? NOT a prediction/ not bank insured ................................................................................

Let's go with the most obvious -

They aren't testing people. Total infected look like 0 when your eyes are closed. If Wuhan had a similar population density to large Indian cities we should expect a similar result.

Well, let's be honest, all this article shows is that Simon Powell at Jefferies does not understand that he's not qualified to draw any conclusions from the data. No surprise there. I would venture that Dunning-Kruger is even more common in sell-side strategists than it is on Elite Trader, a stunning achievement.

There is, however, some evidence that warmer temperatures reduce respiratory infections, primary due to improvement in herd immunity but also somehow reducing survival of the pathogens. I am not a specialist, but I recall reading about it a few years ago. It's unclear it would help, though, in this specific case.
