One thing? I have gotten the entire event right. Just because the Federal Government is slow walking the shutdowns all but guarantees multiple months of this, multiple re-infection waves as there is no immunity, you get sick with this and get better, the re-infection is even worse the 2nd time.

I dunno.... you shut up pretty quick when called out. 1200 deaths a day? HIV Hybrid?

Now you're talking about re-infection. No significant proof of that yet.

You got one thing right. So far the death toll and rate is being lowered all over the world because they were counting people who died of other causes but had the virus, as dying from the virus. Now that the panic is dying down real facts are starting to become clear. Yes it is a pandemic, no it is not nearly as bad as the media painted it to be.

Just one other thing, Cassandra. Maybe you can start your own gloom and doom thread, and quit cluttering up this one with your Chicken Little scenarios.

Ahem....

Epidemiologist Neil Ferguson, who created the highly-cited Imperial College London coronavirus model, which has been cited by organizations like The New York Times and has been instrumental in governmental policy decision-making, offered a massive revision to his model on Wednesday.

“He now says both that the U.K. should have enough ICU beds and that the coronavirus will probably kill under 20,000 people in the U.K. — more than 1/2 of whom would have died by the end of the year in any case [because] they were so old and sick,” he wrote.

To put this number in context, there are usually thousands of deaths from the flu each year in the U.K. Here is some information from the University of Oxford on deaths ranging from 600-13,000 per year:

Influenza (flu) is a very common, highly infectious disease caused by a virus. It can be very dangerous, causing serious complications and death, especially for people in risk groups. In rare cases flu can kill people who are otherwise healthy. In the UK it is estimated that an average of 600 people a year die from complications of flu. In some years it is estimated that this can rise to over 10,000 deaths (see for example this UK study from 2013, which estimated over 13,000 deaths resulting from flu in 2008-09). Flu leads to hundreds of thousands of GP visits and tens of thousands of hospital stays a year.

Berenson continued: “Essentially, what has happened is that estimates of the viruses transmissibility have increased — which implies that many more people have already gotten it than we realize — which in turn implies it is less dangerous.”

I came down with what I thought was the flu the last week in January but it quickly morphed into pneumonia. Took about 3 weeks and I thought I was on the uphill side. Then this damn Oklahoma allergy bullsh*t started. Today was the worst. First chance I get I moving out of this respiratory hellhole and going back to Alaska. After today I'm not sure coronavirus would be any worse.
