That sounds reasonable and reassuring. But then, why did the Chinese react so strongly in Wuhan?
Fine with me
It’s not the infection rate we should worry about, it’s the death rate. If infection is 100%, and no one dies - who cares?
“why did the Chinese react so strongly in Wuhan?”
That is why the US and other Governments lock down. We will not know until Fall if the experts are right...
Maybe the USA lock down to early, the large outbreak did not start until mid-spring timeframe. Not enough infected to make a difference for herd immunity, this fall might be hell.
Unless you are infected with the COLIB 2 virus that seems to be running unchecked through our country. It manifests itself in the uncontrollable desire to force people live as they say in the enforced grayness of socialism.

Oh come on!
We’re not going to get through this until this goes through us.
80000 dead already.
Who knows? New virus, related to SARS, but worse. Logical on their part.
No one, including the Chinese, understood the course of the virus outside of human intervention, and to a point we still don't. Italy (and later Spain) scared the crap out of governments around the world when they started out employing only minimal precautions only to see the virus rage out of control. Then the world watched as new infections subsided a few weeks after Italy's lock down, reinforcing the lock down strategy. We still don't know what the virus does without mitigating action, as while Sweden hasn't locked down, they have implemented significant policies to reduce spread, and they benefit from global mitigation as well as the efforts of their close neighbors. How would Sweden be doing with hundreds of thousands of tourist running around, large public gatherings, open borders throughout the EU, international air travel, cruise ships, etc? How much worse would Italy, Spain, England and others have been had they done nothing when the disease got out of control?
For now, we have to live with this bug. It seems to be a lot harder to control in very dense population centers, not so hard in smaller urban and suburban areas, and pretty easy in rural areas. Keeping it out of nursing homes would go a long way toward reducing the most serious cases. Apply the mitigating actions where they make the most difference and make small course corrections rather than sweeping actions.
To cover up the leak of virus from their virology lab in Wuhan.
LIBERATE WISCONSIN!
The narrative now is to inflate the curve again since we were itching to “flat”. What a total scam and deadly on so many levels.
...why did the Chinese react so strongly in Wuhan?

1)They knew it was virulent, their population was vulnerable and worst of all, they would be castigated internationally for the release.
2) They saw an opportunity to spread it and simultaneously exploit the situation to their own putative advantage.
3) They are politically frugal and didn’t want to let the crisis go to waste.
Meanwhile the lockdown indefinitely lobby is floating the idea that there’s no guarantee of immunity if you’ve had the virus once. Anything to scare the prolls into maintaining the lockdown.
It’s not the infection rate we should worry about, it’s the death rate.
If infection is 100%, and no one dies - who cares?
Covid 19 then becomes like the common cold or seasonal allergies.
This reality is from your home page. Thanks for posting it.
I think the final numbers will be 0.2 to 0.8% of confirm cases, just to be on record. You can find where I stated that in the pass.
Be wary of Demigods they are out to influence people by using their fears…
Yes some Governors have foolishly overstep their powers
Yes the Coronavirus is real, it is a danger to people older then 65 and others with underlying heath conditions. If you are not one those you have know need to worry about dying. Just be mindful of your health if you go around a person over 65 or people with heath conditions
No the virus does not come from 5G do not believe the Demigods
Yes President Trump believes this virus is serious and should be taken serious. He gives a briefing everyday stating so. The President has power over who is his advisors. If they are lying to him, I am sure he will figure it out and fired them.
Experts stated this virus outbreak will die down in the hot humid weather. The hot weather is just starting and the virus is dying down. Experts also believe the virus could come back in the fall just like the flu does every year.
Today a lot places have AC, the AC may allow the virus to spread during the summer but not as bad as the Flu season months
We do not have a vaccine for this, it might not be with us for a long time, we have to learn how to live with it without shutting down. We now have possible treatments
The goal is probably to fine tune measures to get to the appropriate infection rate, a rate the medical system can withstand without collapsing. The dramatic reduction of infection rate outside NYC probably surprised the health people. We were surprised that we didn’t need the medical ships or the emergency hospitals that were thrown up. Was it over-reaction? I don’t think so given what we actually knew at the time. I wouldn’t be surprised if there were back channel private communications from China saying how bad it could get.
The second wave of Spanish flu in 1918 was triggered by all the soldiers returning from Europe to the states. The only thing we have like that today is the usual domestic and international jet travel which isn’t going to resume quickly. So we may not get a huge fall wave.
