Stanford?
Joke!
The CORVIS19 has probably been in the country since who nows when
There is a story that China had it way earlier than we were told...
IT makes sense ...If it got of the lab...someone had to get it...then give it to other people..
This would take months..
They’ll do anything to keep the hysteria ginned up for as long as possible. “Could”, “might”, “may”, etc., then a bunch of numbers pulled out of .... somewhere The sun COULD also suddenly go nova. The Yellowstone caldera MIGHT blow any minute. California COULD break off and slide into the ocean. Monkeys MAY fly out of my butt too. (Let Stanford study THAT.) :-)
So that means we all had this thing and no one needs to be on lock down. Is that right?
If we assume the number of recoveries is 10 times higher, then that number becomes 5.8%. Way higher than the seasonal (or even the Spanish) flu.
Calculating the same number assuming the 50 times higher number of recoveries, then the number becomes 1.2%. Still 12 times more deadly than the seasonal flu.
Assuming the 85 times higher upper limit, the number becomes 0.7%. Still 7 times higher than the seasonal flu.
I agree that it would be great news if the number of infections are really 85 times higher than what has been reported. But even then, it ain't the flu, bro!
It's not Gotham City; it's Disease Vector City and it's been that way for centuries now. (...doing time in the DVC...)
It's bad enough that the "experts" sold the lie of flattening the curve for a virus that spread months earlier but why would so many "civilians" believe the flattening lie?
These "experts" get paid to lie, not that it makes it excusable, but individuals have a responsibility to seek reason .
Good news but I really don’t understand how they took their measured 1.5% and “corrected it” to a possible value of 4.16%
But I’m encouraged by just the 1.5%. That would scale to about 5 million Americans. That would be 14 million with their high estimate.
Why is this news report posted in chat? Usually it’s the other way around :)
A most interesting article. If true, we’ll come out of this better than first imagined in all the worst- and even best-case scenarios.
Bonus: The press won’t be able to convincingly claim that PDJT was the one who overstated the case.
I suspect we will find by end of summer this is true. No fall rebound of the virus worth mentioning.
Strong economy.
Massive Landslide victory in November.
Here’s something that’s been rattling around in my brain for a while now. Yes it’s weird. Yes, it’s bizarre. But what if ....?
You know how E. Coli is present in everyone — most of the time, it remains dormant and does no harm. Most people can eat an undercooked hamburger and not get sick. But for some people, something causes the E. Coli already present to “go hot” and send them on a trip to Hell.
What if everyone already has some form of coronavirus in their bodies, and factors like an already-compromised immune system, underlying medical conditions, obesity, smoking/vaping, pre-existing respiratory infections, etc., act as catalysts to suddenly make the formerly-dormant virus to “go hot”?
I should probably be a science-fiction writer or something. :-)
Never let a crisis go to waste. Even if you have to manufacture it.
America: being killed by a 1000 “studies”. GTFO!
It’s just the flu, bro. .1% mortality is equal to flu.
Stamford study?
Simple, stay away from Stamford.
I am skeptical about this report. Might there be false positives due to test defects or to antibody crossreactivity? Or might the antibodies detected be inadequate to confer immunity?
This is absolutely devastating to the shutdown cheerleaders. The mortality rate is about the same as the flu. We shut down the country for nothing. And this insane “test everyone!” movement needs to stop, Now! And there is zero need, country wide, to wait for a vaccine before going back to work.
You are going to get Covid-19. And the odds are overwhelming you will be fine. Same as the flu. Same death rate. Do what we do right now for the flu, and no more.
Shut down this idiocy. Go back to work. False alarm.
We’ve been played.
