Warren Zevon Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Great news on the antibody tests! Test, test and test some more - been beating that drum for weeks. The more testing that can be done, the quicker we'll be able to actually know the data and reopen society, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not questioning the numbers. Pointing out that they don't paint a complete picture of the exposure/antibody/immunity issue and should be accepted with guarded optimism. 13 minutes ago, Albwan said: funny...right people say Obama, lefties screech "WHATABOUTISM", perfectly fine tho for the over inflated sense of self important chicken little crowd.

Having said that, why in Gods green earth would you believe one thing that comes out of the WHO. They just incorrectly posted crap about Remisvider(sp) from the Chinese, which knowledgable people are knocking down all over the place.

shoshin Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 6 minutes ago, Boatdrinks said: So this Kung-Flu is an extremely contagious coronavirus with a fatality rate probably somewhere just above that of influenza. Also with a high percentage of completely asymptomatic people, though I have no idea how many are asymptomatic with seasonal flu. Covid-19 also takes a lot more for many to recover from (see the health system in NYC). So there are quite a few important differences. That said, if we are looking at 0.5% mortality, that would be really good news. The rate limiter on being something like normal in the fall would be what % of people who get it end up in a hospital, because at 0.5%, and smart conduct for us all and social distancing for the most vulnerable, we could probably stomach the deaths without shutting down the economy a second time. My current senior who is missing all her senior year stuff would really like this to happen so she can be a true college freshman this fall, and not be staring at remote learning. For anyone with college kids, I'd encourage a listen to this optimistic take by the Chief Health Officer for the University of Michigan: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0rpFb8ZzIS4FbYxDAACCWx?si=tHMsUKRLTOGsiCZNdfhT9g 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SectionC3 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 4 minutes ago, Doc Brown said: I'm guessing based off the limited studies that.... 1.) A lot of people have/had it without symptoms making the death rate anywhere from .1 to .8%. 2.) It's extremely contagious which explains the remarkable number of deaths in a short period of time. 3.) Herd immunity will happen before any type of vaccine is mass produced. I completely agree with all of those things (I'm not ascribing to the math, but I share the view that the death rate is lower than now believed to be). I still believe in proceeding cautiously because of the unknown, e.g., whether there is immunity and whether the test numbers are accurate. A sewage study of and in the tested areas might be a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
