Looks to be more contagious but less lethal than the typical yearly flu from what I can see.
Thanks for the information.
I don’t care how many test positive. That is only a reflection of how many are being tested. The ONLY figures I even care about are the death figures.

My Life. My Business.
The business of America is business.
Get Back To Work!
Prior to the release of a safe and effective vaccine, serology testing to detect antibodies and a PCR test to determine if an infected individual still harbors active virus and is still a danger to others, isolation is still the only real safeguard. However if a given individual has antibodies and a negative PCR test, then that individual is immune, infection free and can freely go about their business. Hopefully these tests will be available soon to all.
I would encourage you to pay attention to the people infected, as well. The deaths and those infected form the mortality rate, and we're finding that rate is much, much lower than was originally projected. With such a low rate, we have to ask, "why is everything shut down?"

I don’t want you to infect me or my family. This is not the flu, “bro”.

They are worthless unless they break down ALL the deaths and quit counting ‘may have had symptoms’ (THEY do tend to go to the extreme to be ‘safe’)
Like it has been said may be linked to beerflu is NOT the same as due to the beerflu.
And definitely have to really search for the data of how many die on a ‘normal’ day.
Have to use common sense and
FOLLOW THE MONEY
If the economy sinks deep enough into the gutter, then it will turn COVID-19 into child’s play.
And *those* seem to be faked more and more these days.
Then stay home.
From the article:
Thus, the Chinese virus is six times more fatal than pre-existing viral pneumonias, including those caused by flu.
In short, the doctors and especially epidemiologists need to stop missing this in their pronouncements: 🎯
p.s. Now I wonder if that strange three-day cold I experienced in mid-December 2019 was a very mild case of COVID-19.... 🤔🤧😷
So, will we end up at a point where the cost benefit ratio makes the stay home edicts/shutdown untenable? Will some folks develop a natural immunity and will it become one of those things we have to deal with seasonally?
And there in lies the problem. Highly infectious, everybody gets sick at once, some have a tough time at home, other overwhelm your healthcare system, increasing fatality rate, and that is bad optics here in plentiful, entitled USA.
Agreed. I’ll be intrigued to see how the Swedish approach works. I think this whole thing has been vastly overblown and very suspicious from a tyranny standpoint.
On top of that, politicians that are ready to pounce on anything that goes wrong.
We are in complete agreement except we don’t know how many people are infected. We only know how many people have been tested and found to test positive. That’s pretty worthless information. If I test 100 people in a state of 1 million, and all of them have teeth, that doesn’t mean 100 people have teeth. It means 100 people have been tested.
There’s a study underway to answer that very question. They drew blood on more than a thousand Californians in order to see. Answers in a couple of weeks.
