Yes, that is correct.
Yes, but given the very high infectiousness, this CCP virus is still deadly.
This is just one study, and is just one dot on the map, but what I liked about it is that it’s showing that people are on the case and we’re going to get to the bottom of all of these questions.
Xi may have thought he could brazen this one out, but he underestimated the capacity of the West to investigate.
This is actually great news!
Note that only people with symptoms are tested.
If there are tons of Asymptomatic infected people, it means the denominator to compute death rate is much bigger, and the death rate therefore is much SMALLER.
No one is, or at least I am not, disputing how deadly the China Wuhan virus is.
Your statement is too broad. It would be more accurate to say that the strain(s) of the virus in the Bay Area seem to be less virulent than say the one in NYC. There are at least two identified strains. There seems to be very little published info on which strains are in which areas - on purpose I am sure.

That, at minimum is a point the CCP is going to have to answer. The entire world is in an uproar, and too much information is out there even for the totalitarian thugs in the CCP to keep the lid on.
Answers will come and the world will see. It’s just too big to cover up.
And about that lab...I’ve been calling it the ChiCom bio weapon for a reason. Everything in China is dual use, civilian and military applications. So OF COURSE they were doing “legitimate research” but equally OF COURSE they are keeping their eyes open for potential military applications. I think they found one, kind of by accident, by letting this slip out of the lab. Speculation only, but it’s not fever-swamp crazy, either.
It tells us this virus was not nearly as dangerous as we were being told!! For some YES it was very dangerous, diabetes, pre diabetes, hypertension, elderly BUT those same people are in danger from the flu, AND with the flu children are in danger!!\ BS all of this and it has DESTROYED many businesses and lives!!! The numbers in CA. have been extremely low for a population of 40 million, WA. state where all of this hysteria started VERY LOW numbers also!! What a HOAX!!!
The insane libs in the area are freaking out screeching “how dare you even consider REEEEEEEEopening the state with 50% positive...” They only react when CNN gives them a big scary number to frighten them.
The are incapable of realizing that this means the virus has been wide spread way before CNN told them to be scared and a much lower mortality or ER rate.
That’s good. Let’s start opening up on April 30.
It would seem so.
LOTS of people over 70 use Facebook... older people have taken over face book and under 35s have dropped it
So most of the people carrying antibodies are ghey, then? You sure?
The idea of masking up is more to prevent you from transmitting it to someone else than to prevent you from catching it.
And yes, I’d like to get it over with, too, even though with my extra weight and blood sugar crashes, indicating possible pre-diabetes, it could kick my ass on the way through me.
OTOH, that could explain some of the mild or asymptomatic cases. In spite of the Chinese Frankenstein Monster being novel, it could still have some antigens similar to the mild “cold” viruses that run around the country every winter, meaning some folks could already be partially immune. Thus, the antibody prevalence.
This may be true. So, it means the vast majority of people may become infected without negative affects. So, tell me, if this is true, why did we destroy our economy and plunge this country into trillions of debt that not even our great grandkids can retire.
WHAT A BOONDOGGLE!
“Perhaps there is an infection vector that is - shall we say - a bit more common in that area? “
—-
Fudge aficionados?
This is so amazing!!!! 30-40% of the population ALREADY HAD THE VIRUS! So this is like..... a worse than average flu year, MAYBE double.
NIH also is doing a 10,000 person randomized test now, should see results next week.
I believe that may be the case with New York yes. (We Don’t know tho.). NY metro area has half of the entire country’s cases tho. If there’s to be any Lockdown extension it looks like NY is the place for it. Hopefully very temporary but NY
Are you saying that while test results are positive, they’re not COVID19 specific, therefore not indicative of true results?
Yes serous question
