You do realize of course, that anyone can catch this?
It is not just the seniors and immune compromised that can get CV19.
And, to make matters worse - ANY infected person can pass this - whether they are showing symptoms or not.
Hospitals worldwide are seeing a lot of cases under 50 - many in ICUs.
It’s also been estimated that 86% of all cases are asymptomatic. So, those people - even if not sick or hospitalized, can continue to spread. And with a high R0, it’s been estimated that a single person can infect thousands. (One study showed up to 59,000 infections from a single person over multiple iterations of communicability).
I don’t see a way to isolate just seniors and immune compromised and ever get this under control. It’s going to rage through our population as long as there are people spreading it - regardless of their age.
Even the doom and gloomers say 2 million deaths. We need to start having a conversation about what an ‘acceptable’ mortality rate is for this thing or the effect of it is going to destroy all of us. I think anything under 1mil would be a win. I know when I say that I sound like George C. Scott in the bunker in Dr. Strangelove, but we need to chang our mindset on this if we’re going to survive.
If 86% of people who have the disease are asymptomatic then that means instead of the 131K and change confirmed case in the US there have been approx. 917K cases with 2329 deaths. If that’s true then the mortality rate is around 0.25%. I think you just made the flubros case for them.
