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!!!

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.
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.
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 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.

Where is the number of tests performed?
