Why is Texas' CFR lower than nationally? I have no clue, but it is.

Texans have bigger immune systems.

your 2% death rate is based on early data

I think todays death rate is between .5% and 1%

no way theres a 40 day lag time its closer to 18 days


There's death rate, and there's test rate as a proportion of tested individuals.  I'm referring to the latter.

Hey, I hope you're right...

I just wish you could back up your assertions with data or argument beyond "trust me".
well we Texans never let facts get in the way

and Im saying the more you test the closer you get to the true number of positive cases and the death rate will go down

That is true. 

The question is thus: is the significant increase in positive tests over the past 2 weeks due to increased testing, increased spread, or a bit of both? 

If it is at the very least "a bit of both", I expect the daily death counts to start increasing again.

Median age of cases (from inception) in Florida is now 40. A month ago it was 56, if I remember right. I'd have to dig to find historical data.

Which is why I've already accounted for that.

2.5% --- but I only estimated 2%.

But in fairness to 320, you were referencing Texas specifically (5000 cases / 100 deaths daily) where 2% would be significantly higher than what has been observed to date.

I think it is a bit of both but the vast majority of positives are much younger on the average then two months ago so that will help reduce the death rate

its 320

and I am not referring to only Texas

as there are 9 to 10 other states which have better death rates then Texas

why dont we just table this for 3 weeks and see the results and if Im wrong I'll be the first to admit it

and I wont even say I told ya so if Im right
