40 percent of what, people entering the hospital with symptoms? Or is it a combination of hospital and folks at large?
Don’t get me wrong...I think this disease is very deadly and contagious.
The concern I have is the economic costs. We mitigate and eventually the pestilence drops but then we end up with no economy and no country, vastly increasing death by means of crime, chaos, civil war, and by the despotism that will arise to try to bring the restive populations to heel. Food productions and transport systems may come to a halt. I have no doubt much of this is being flogged into being right now by shadowy types, but it will all get out of even their control. I believe Trump is trying to help but a higher order is interfering now. I suggest we get on our faces and pray and prepare as best we can to take care of our families. The like minded need to seek each other out, learn to trust each other and pool our strengths and talents together.
40% of the people tested presumably due to symptoms. According to these latest data there were 30,811 positive and 72,668 negative, which is now around 30%. If you look at the data in the same link for the various states, only about 10% test positive elsewhere.
Couldn't agree more about your concern about the economic costs. We must do a risk benefit analysis for what is best for the country. We can't allow the medical technocrats drive public policy. You can't fight a war without casualties. The survival of our economy is directly linked to the survival of the country.
