Quote- 2.) Deaths are on the decline.
your first link, Graph 1, provisional, shows zero deaths for June 20. It must be that there is a delay in reporting.
We all know that as new cases increase, deaths increase. We reached 100,000 deaths May 27, and today we reached 127,000 deaths. At that rate we reach 200,000 deaths in September. 300,000 deaths by New Years.
As testing increases, the death rate decreases. But that's only a rate. The dead don't care what the death rate of CV19.
It's more alarming that the rate of infection is really increasing at increasing rates. CV19 is much more infectious than the flu.
It's also alarming that there are adults who have symptoms for months, and that permanent damage can happen to the lungs, heart and other organs. Those patients don't care what the rate, or what the chance of this happening to them were.
At 2.5M cases in the US, it's only about a 1:140 population ratio of infection. While the rate of death may end up under one-tenth of one percent, the yearly numbers are up there with major diseases death numbers, greater than many wars we have fought, and other national tragedies. Those with families and extended friends can probably play 'six degrees of Kevin Bacon' and know someone who has been affected by this disease in some personal loss.
Testing and appropriate follow up can help break this cycle of increasing cases and deaths from CV19. I hope QMC helps do that, and be not only a great investment, but a great socially and environmentally concious company.
