#1 The numbers are the latest evidence to suggest that people who are asymptomatic — contagious but not physically sick -- may be driving the spread of the virus

#2 ... but not deaths from the virus.

It just isn't very lethal to the under-70 population. It ain't so.

#4 The only people who should take unusual precautions like sheltering in place are the elderly, the frail and those whom the the elderly and frail depend on critically for assistance with their daily lives.

#5 The Diamond Princess data yet again are being validated:

Fatality to population = ca 1:1,000 in the absolute worst case

Infection rate of less than 20%, and the vast majority are asymptomatic or immune

Shame on our decision-makers. They had this actual, empirical data from an "ideal incubation environment" staring them in the face, and instead they chose to make decisions on the basis of an absurd doomsday hypothetical using garbage data and ridiculous assumptions.

#6 And it is stuff like this that breeds "conspiracy theories" and "analysis".

#7 I've almost certainly had this virus. Half or more of the people I work with and who my family interacts with half probably had this virus.

In my heavily-Chinese, front-line geographic & social sphere the death rate is 1:2,000 population. It simply isn't all that lethal.

#8 #2 Deterioration in condition of 11-year-old coronavirus patient

#9 I can believe it. And why I wondered aloud in a prior post as to stats from the various "Chinatowns" in the US and around the world. I just do not hear of any massive devastation particular to the Chinese communities. Of course, we'll hear from the asymptomatic crowd, but still....

#10 ^Which reminds anybody can recommend a good site with USA's CV19 statistics (with graphics) by state?

#11 G, you are (not the only one who is) indefatigable. :-)
Here you go - infections, not deaths, mind you.

#13 You think all those people that released prisoners because of COVID would feel pretty silly now, huh?

Well, ya gotta have shame to feel silly about this and they have none.

#14 ^Darth how long is asymptomatic phase?
Posted by g(r)omgoru 2020-04-26 15:53||   2020-04-26 15:53|| Front Page Top

#15 Depends. Some people were found to be asymptomatic for a day or to before symptoms hit. Others have been walking around with it for 7-14 days and never got sick.

Release prisoners, get elevated crime rate for only a 4% illness rate.

Someone should hang for it.

#16 ^OK, lets put it this way - unless somebody going to release that particular bunch, we can monitor their progress.

#17 ^And, if fact, the same is applicable to navy ships with CV19.
