It’s clear many of them don’t have to leave the house.
>>The Lancet used a 14 day offset between deaths and recoveries in their calculations.
slight problem with that... 120% of Chinese virus deaths get reported, but tens of thousands, maybe over a hundred thousand “recoveries” do not get reported because after a positive test, for an individual with only mild symptoms, they get sent home to self-quarantine, and get better without hospital help. There is no one to ever see or test that patient again, and declare them recovered.
I've been debating about whether to 'go public' on having coronavirus - which I kind of did inadvertently this morning. So, now I may as well share my experience(s) with you in order to help those who are worried about it or who are thinking they might have it.

Look at this picture:

_Somebody_ _finally_ gets it.
I do not attribute any bad motives to the Unicorn crowd.
I just think they are newbies to the game, making newbie mistakes.
They do not understand how long it takes for most people to fully recover from this virus. There are still folks on the first Princess ship still sick with it almost two months later.
There are probably less than 10,000 Unicorns in the whole country imho—they had no symtoms and have no symptoms—good luck finding one!
*************************************************
You aren’t taking into consideration the potential number of people who DID have symptoms, although very mild. People that never sought care or were tested, because they fought it off relatively quickly.
Folks have always monitored such.
Reconstruction was a very informative thing.
When they start asking for loyalty oaths you can get worried.
“Trump ORDERS GM to open their shuttered Ohio plant and ‘start making ventilators NOW’ “
What they do, not what they say.
Saying it is “a bad flu” (saying a lion is just a bad kitty) isn’t a flat-out lie, just misleading (a flu is just a bad cold by the same logic, all of these are corona virus variants). But if it’s just a bad flu, why are we gonna need all those ventilators and at such urgency that President Trump needs to threaten?
And is the war more desperate than we think? Lots of people are already making ventilators or introducing other innovations to improve efficiency in what we have.
At no point in human history have people who didn't need medical care been counted as "sick" until now.
Counting asymptomatic people who fail a PCR test or an antibody test as "sick" skews the reported statistics when compared to epidemics of only a few years ago.
No getting around that, and it's the reset point for all future data sets.
We just need to recognize that in the older statistics, only those sick enough to see a doctor cases were counted in the denominator, and current and future mortality rates have/will have a "falsely" (actually a more accurate) number of infections and therefore show a lower mortality rate on paper.
“120% of Chinese virus deaths get reported”
Explain that, please.
All of these calculations may be important to those in politics trying to make decisions about future course of actions but they are completely MEANINGLESS to me.
This is Wuhan Roulette. You are staking your life on the wheel. You have no idea where you will end up as the Wuhan Virus spins around in your body.
I prefer trying to avoid the damn thing altogether:

Some are shaking it off relatively easily. Others are suffering very badly. The most difficult part of this is the extent to which it takes hold within your lungs. There’s just no way to tell what will happen at the start. You need to watch this symptom if it develops. 20/
Coronavirus appears to have a completely different trajectory in different people. I can’t spot a pattern
The #Chinese people have finally risen against the #CCP.
Thousands clashed with police when people from #Hubei were not allowed to enter #Jiangxi.
Could this be the beginning of the end for the Chinese Communist Party? pic.twitter.com/nOXT7Kipwo— Arslan Hidayat (@arslan_hidayat) March 27, 2020
Would be interesting if the end result, is the end of the ChiComs and the Mullahs in Iran.
Please watch this video—Chris Martenson will walk you through the numbers, blow by blow.

He _really_ know his stuff—please watch.
We speculated as much 2 months ago.
I don’t predict Xi will survive this.
China, as a whole entity, might not survive this.
Think USSR 1990 vs. 1993.
“Could this be the beginning of the end for the Chinese Communist Party?”
Is there any way we can push it along?
Side benefit would be the end of secret funding to the ‘Rats if the CCP is overthrown.
What would replace it?
“China, as a whole entity, might not survive this.”
China will always be China, but Tibet and maybe the rest of Mongolia might break free.
Really good point.
Statistics are not much help for most folks.
If you average my income with that of Bill Gates, you might think we were both rich. ;-)
“What would replace it?”
Probably something inward-looking like post Soviet Russia. We’d get a few decades of less harassment as they focused on rebuilding and restoring regional relationships.
All speculative.
