My question is how many people had it and didn’t know.... just thought it was a cold. They wont be in the statistics.
And then....if one comes down with a cold now are they supposed to self quarantine for weeks? Whos going to do that?
Chaos.
This is why we should look at the economic impacts of this.
Wholesale “stay home for two weeks” statements from companies is going to kill productivity.
I wonder what social norms will be changed forever because of this. Working from home will change these measures in ways that we cannot imagine today. Figure those out and you will make millions.
Think of how much the water cooler crap will be cut down. Make-up sales will drop. Commercial real estate prices will drop. Square foot per employees will drop. Distributed network equipment will sky-rocket.
Just a few thoughts of how to really look at this “crisis.”
The answer to your question is many.
The Dr in Italy said it doesnt show up on an Xray in the beginning....you test negative..but you can have it. You are released and come back later with shortness of breath and it shows up on a CT scan and you test positive
I theorize that younger people do get it but are better at fighting it off and thus dont test positive because their viral loads weren’t high enough.
A poster here has a young son who has friends that were visiting in Milan Italy that are convinced they got it. Said they have had worse
