Not fully understood is an understatement. There are many other red flags in the report. As I said it may be part of the answer but it is not the unified field theory
This looks like the ‘six ways from Sunday’ virus. Lot of misinformation and docs in the field are mostly very busy and tired. I don’t figure on a single magic bullet. I remember back around 1995 when docs finally tried three at once meds for HIV, and it actually worked. Expect the same here. Not necessarily three, and likely some complications and contraindications. IOW, medicine as usual, only in a hurry with billions of people watching in real time.
The numbers coming out of New York State the last week don’t look like whatever the docs did there in the last week had the desired effect. Flipside, I’d be interested in hearing from the docs in California, Tennessee and Texas. Much better raw numbers, mostly but not entirely due to population density. Death to case ratio. And avoid whatever France and the U.K. have been doing, which was herd immunity.
