Using 300,000 infected, that translates to .2% death rate. 0.002.
All them sanctuary peeps got the virus. Now that’s really too bad.
Its been going around since Mid December so this is not a surprise..it also means that we all survived without the damn city being locked down its been here for MONTHS, just open it back up already!
Now I’m REALLY confused
Am I supposed to panic or NOT panic.
C’mon MSM, a little help over here!!!
/sarc
So, just wondering. Can anybody tell me exactly why we have boarded up our country and sent thousands into bankruptcy?
How many were hopitalized out of the 4%.
And what happens if you have 20 times that many? Or 5 times that many hospitalizations?
Doctors, city officials all think we had a flare of the Wild Virus in Mexico. We had a run on the hospitals, a lot of cough, kids absent from schools. I’ve talked to a lot of people who think this has been around awhile.
I’m really hoping that many of us have antibodies without ever knowing that we’ve been infected.
The only weird symptom I’ve had at all in the past year or so, is that over the past few weeks most foods haven’t tasted right - things I’ve always liked and craved. Almost everything I’ve eaten lately tastes ‘off’, and PUTS me off of finishing it.
It’s probably just a symptom of a very interrupted routine; but I’ve been daydreaming that it’s a symptom of the virus, and I’ve had the damn bug already.
Interesting.
Other places are reporting much higher antibody results.
Still too early to know if these results are valid or are contaminated by poor sample selections, test sensitivity, etc.
Overall, they are encouraging though.
What this means is this is not much worse than the flu and there was no reason whatsoever to shut down the America’s economy and imprison the Deplorables.
But it also means that if the real CFR is 0.19% Plaquenil will never be able to demonstrate a reduction in mortality as the mortality from just taking Plaquenil is in that range.
“And what happens if you have 20 times that many? Or 5 times that many hospitalizations?” (asked in whiney voice)
Scaremongering without logic is not a good thing.
Re: 4%
So, what explains the MASSIVE difference between the death total in New York state and the West Coast states?
Yes - I get the fact that density is higher in NYC, and that subways are a breeding ground for new infections.
But the number of deaths in New York state is 15X times higher than the number in California, and California has twice the population of New York state!
I have been tracking the data in Washington state, Oregon, and California for more than a month.
In my opinion, there are only two explanations...
(1) The West Coast virus mutated into a more benign strain almost immediately after it wiped out the nursing home in Kirkland, WA.
(2) Or, millions of West Coast residents - NOT just 4% - had some level of immunity to COVID-19 BEFORE it arrived in Kirkland, WA.
In an article earlier today, the covid virus was made by at lease, splicing a a piece of HIV genetic material into an RNA string
So, Those HIV positive but not having full blown AIDS might have covid immunity. We don’t know what else she put in there but there might be other diseases that produce immunity as well
In this “Unknown Knowledge” interview he discusses the LA County Testing. His field sampling and data analysis were completed when he gave this interview and he was writing the report. Maybe the testing in this article is his work as he said he had a partner org in LA doing the field work.
The Fight against COVID-19: An Update from Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, interview with Jay Bhattacharya, Friday, April 17, 2020.
I thought most people would be able to follow that logic. But I'll spell it out for you.
4% infected in LA county. 80% needed for herd immunity. That's 20 times. The posted excerpt didn't say how many hospitalizations. So I raised the question. Can LA handle 20 times the hospitalizations they already had.
Or if it doesn't spread too fast. Can they handle 5 times the hospitalizations they already had.
I think 11,000 more deaths in LA county is unacceptable. I'm not a fan of the "Let's get to herd immunity as fast as possible" approach. Especially with a disease that we still know too little about.
41,000 deaths split about evenly between whites and everyone else
Negative oil prices
22 to 30,000,000 unemployed
As O’Reilly said many of the dead were already on their last legs
This is hardly worth it stop the madness open up America
I know a few people who are convinced they had it, they want the antibody test..my sisters GYN thinks she got it in December, she was very ill, pneumonia and everything she tested herself for influenza B and it was negative so what was it..corona? My cousin might have had it in mid February, my sisters two neighbors in early January
Where is the number of tests performed?
