Search for more covid-19 data

[fmenninger]

Where can you find the true data showing the profiles of covid-19 deaths? I suspect it’s immune compromised, elderly and co-morbidity but can’t find it as the media fails to provide this to the public. If many deaths occur with healthy populations from a younger age group then that’s when we should be more alarmed. With a death rate at around 3%. I I tried finding the data on the JHU interactive map but still can’t find this data. I would think if you have an underlying disease such as aPCa with low wbc counts, you could be at higher risk of hs big issue in fighting off an covid-19 infection. Too bad we can’t use viruses such as herpesvirus to effectively destroy pca. Wash hands and carry on!

The consensus appears to be that since so many people show minimal symptoms, the actual amount of cases is quite higher thus making the death rate lower. But clearly PC Patients are at more risk.

From the paper:

"Conclusion: Comorbidities are present in around one fourth of patients with COVID-19 in China, and predispose to poorer clinical outcomes."

and

"The primary endpoint was the composite endpoints, which consisted of

* the admission to intensive care unit (ICU), or

* invasive ventilation, or

* death."

and

"Results: Of the 1,590 cases, the mean age was 48.9 years. 686 patients (42.7%) were females. 647 (40.7%) patients were managed inside Hubei province, and 1,334 (83.9%) patients had a contact history of Wuhan city. Severe cases accounted for 16.0% of the study population. 131 (8.2%) patients reached to the composite endpoints. 399 (25.1%) reported having at least one comorbidity. 269 (16.9%), 59 (3.7%), 30 (1.9%), 130 (8.2%), 28 (1.8%), 24 (1.5%), 21 (1.3%), 18 (1.1%) and 3 (0.2%) patients reported having hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, hepatitis B infections, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic kidney diseases, malignancy and immunodeficiency, respectively. 130 (8.2%) patients reported having two or more comorbidities. Patients with two or more comorbidities had significantly escalated risks of reaching to the composite endpoint compared with those who had a single comorbidity, and even more so as compared with those without (all P<0.05).

After adjusting for age and smoking status, patients with

* COPD (HR 2.681, 95%CI 1.424-5.048),

* diabetes (HR 1.59, 95%CI 1.03-2.45),

* hypertension (HR 1.58, 95%CI 1.07-2.32) and

* malignancy (HR 3.50, 95%CI 1.60-7.64) were more likely to reach to the composite endpoints than those without.

As compared with patients without comorbidity, the HR (95%CI) was

* 1.79 (95%CI 1.16-2.77) among patients with at least one comorbidity, and

* 2.59 (95%CI 1.61-4.17) among patients with two or more comorbidities."

This doesn't get the exact data you are looking for, but it is a heck of a good comprehensive paper on COVID19:

Among the people in the United States who have died from coronavirus, almost all have been in their 70s, 80s or 90s.

WorldMeaters keeps updated stats: worldometers.info/coronavirus/

So, if someone with prostate cancer gets the virus, and dies (because his immune system is shot to hell); does the statistics say the person died of the virus or of prostate cancer? I'm sure the virus, but doesn't that really screw the PCa death numbers?

[EdBar]

NIH said yesterday that death rate is around 1% down from the 3-4% that the WHO was touting. Probably lower since someone could have it with mild symptoms and not know it. Currently 39 in the US have died and two thirds of those folks were in one nursing home in WA.

Keep in mind the s swine flu infected in 2009 60 million people, 300,000 were hospitalized, 18, 000 deaths of mainly children and you didn’t see the level of panic there is today.
