I will bet you that 1/3 of NY’ers have had it already and have recovered!!!
Probably same with the Los Angelenos, as well.
Well it sucks to be one of the unlucky ones who dies because they can’t get the one effective treatment. But lets no have any compassion for them.
Not possible. Between 0.1 and 2% of cases become critical or serious from worldwide data. Even if a million people had it (1/8 of NYC) that would mean at least 1000 people in the ICU in NYC. That has not happened. The 2% number is for the US. The 0.1% is from Switzerland.
In some places it is almost certainly much higher than that. We won't know for sure until tests for antibodies that indicate whether you have had it become available. But since this will most likely mean serious egg on a bunch of powerful political faces this will be suppressed.
I am not an original thinker on this but my wife and I live in an area with approximately half a million recent Chinese immigrants. People have been hacking around here more than normal since December. No one thought much about it until the Life Care Center in Kirkland got hit and the virus was identified as the culprit.
