Waiting on my wife's blood test to come in - she donated blood because they were also doing Covid testing and we are hoping the fact that they took blood means it will include an antibody test.
If she has antibodies, then it indicates we both had it and suffered no bad effects...she's 70 and I'm a few months from 68.
This is all based on an incorrect computation.
Number of infections divided into number of deaths — this is not correct.
The correct computation must be consistent. If you are going to have number of deaths in the numerator, you must have number of infected people vulnerable to death in the denominator. Why would you put numbers in the denominator that include those who aren’t relevant to death.
That would be like saying the pregnancy count in the numerator and number of people, men and women, in the denominator and declaring the pregnancy rate to be the result.
The disease kills old people. The correct computation is # of deaths / number of infected people 65+. That result is floating along at about 10%, with 85+ at 15% and 65-75 at 5%.
Why would you include 15 yr olds who have a 0.000001% death risk? That’s just wrong math.
