My brother, who lives full time in Mexico, tells me that a lot of severely infected people refuse to go to the hospital.... the reason being is if
they succumb to the virus, they want family with them when they die. In a hospital, you die alone. These deaths are not accounted for in the
"numbers"
It's a sobering thought.

So far, we here in La Bocana have escaped the virus altogether. No one sick. No one in a hospital. Some folks are beginning to understand that the
virus can come from their family member who visits from TJ or Ensenada. That is a huge step in the right direction!

Just curious, do stores require a mask to enter? Are people practicing safe COVID procedures or is it pretty much like pre-COVID days?

I don't know about La Bocana (not trying to hijack), but around Ensenada I was seeing and hearing about stricter policies than I see in the San Diego
area (my family stayed out of all stores, taco stands, etc.).
Home Depot in Ensenada would only let one family member in, they were requiring masks, and were taking temperature before letting you in, and making
you take a pump or two of hand sanitizer. Taco stands had plexiglass up between customers and workers. Even heard about a taco stand with enclosed
eating area taking temperatures before allowing customers in. Saw lot's of masked up customers standing apart waiting to get into banks, etc.
Seemed to me like they are taking the situation very seriously.

Not saying Harald's numbers are correct. But yours are way off. You don't have the correct denominator. |
I assume you mean the denominator is incorrect because it does not include undocumented cases?  |
He means covid death rate as percentage of total population, not a percentage of those infected.

Cases which had an outcome:

Recovered / Discharged
39,485 (15%)
Deaths
These are the current stats for Mexico from the World-o-meter site. Do you understand what 15% means? What's 15% of one dollar? 15 cents out of 100
cents. Mexico has recorded 15 deaths for every 100 people who have recovered.
This forum seems to be full of mathematical dunces. |
I have an electrical engineering degree from the Ohio State University. There was lots of math involved in earning it.
You really need to step back from your keyboard to when you haven't had a couple c-cktails and think about what you are saying.

Well, bully for you. You are choosing to look at the stats by factoring in things which aren't how one scientifically looks at how deadly a disease
is. The death rates of past pandemics and other diseases are based upon resolved cases, which are the exact stats I posted. Because those pandemics
are over and those other diseases have been around long enough to be referring to cases in which people who were infected either recovered or died.
Choosing to look at the death rate by counting it as a percentage of the total number of people currently infected plus those who have recovered is
just a way to make it seem like it's not very serious. because that is obviously your agenda. You have no idea if the people currently infected will
recover, die, or be left with long-term effects.
And once again, you make absurd assumptions about people you don't know. I'm not a drinker.
