I think there is a lot of misuse of the term "mortality rate" in reported and discussed data pertaining to covid19 when the more accurate term should be "case fatality rate."  As I understand it, mortality rate (as you correctly assert) = deaths/total population, while case fatality rate = deaths/total infected population.

Many thanks for the clarification. I misspoke when I used the term "mortality rate" instead of "fatality rate"..

Yes I am.  That is the basis one calculates the total impact of a pandemic.  Since we do not really know how many in total are or have been infected it is the only realistic basis for evaluating the total impact.  

 

Your calculation merely shows the number of deaths as a % of the total population. Statistically interesting but what I would want to know is if I'm infected what are my chances of dying....that's the 4% ratio. In the USA I would have a one in 25 chance of dying.

Yeah, your math is off.  Try 0.404%

133,291 x 100%/330,000,000

 

Hold it. You're calculating based on the total population of the United States not those who have been affected. So I guess with you logic back in March when deaths were in the tens of thousands the death rate must have been infinitesimally small.

I keep seeing references to mortality rates of less than 1%. dichosalocura above uses 0.4%.

The numbers as of this morning for the US are 3,118,168 total confirmed cases with 133,291 deaths.

That's 4.27% mortality by my calculation. Am I missing something?

Definitely agree about Lakeside Auto Body.  Consistent good work, reliability and fair, not the cheapest, prices.

 

You're not kidding. Lakeside's quote for minor body work and a complete paint job $45,000 pesos. Dropped to $35 when I told them I was going elsewhere for $25,000. And yes the Bodyshop in SAT did a great job. I was very happy.

A much expanded store in the new location. You'll love it.

I'm breaking down after 3 months without a cigar. Isolation is getting to me.

Is the Fathers day assortment still available Pedro?

SunFan

OK I guess I'm the one to ask. If I may ask what are you planning to do with "bulk mustard powder"?

SunFan

Out of stock at Costco, along with cubed tomatoes and tomato salsa.

SunFan

Very clever Pedro.

Only .14 inches in SAT.

Disappointing.

I paid 150 pesos for installation. I too thought it was included as i was one of the "prepaids".

You only have two choices - TelMex and ilox.

TelMex provides only twisted pair copper SDLC service. I got 1.6 mbps max on Jacarandas Privada so I was eager to switch to ilox. 70 mbps hardwired and 30 mbps  wifi with their crappy modem.

Not about Mexico and political.  Deleted and closed.

What a beautiful piece.

I would trust Happyjillin's advice. He's dealt with antique furniture for decades.

SunFan I said you READ the post and answered the question; the others just gave the hours of operation for the SAT office which didn't answer if mail was coming from Laredo.
The assumption was made that if the SAT iShop was open then they must be getting mail from Laredo. SAT iShop does not solely deal in mail being forwarded from Laredo.

Ah I see, present versus past tense of "to read".

I would think your development would fall under the private group rules.  A development like yours is not a public facility. 

You might want to ask your board to consult your attorney.

SunFan read the OP's post - did the rest of you - " iShop's Laredo office"

I reported that mail was being forwarded from iShop's Laredo warehouse to our location in SAT. What did I misunderstand?

"Hi, I'm from the government and I'm here to help you."

I picked up mail sent from Laredo yesterday.

766-3496? Someone mentioned he may be out of the painting business and into landscaping.

I used him last year with great results.

Looks like the Mexican peso has somewhat recovered again at the US and Canadian dollar. Anyone know whats happening?
