Warren Zevon Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 Great news on the antibody tests! Test, test and test some more - been beating that drum for weeks. The more testing that can be done, the quicker we'll be able to actually know the data and reopen society,

Also with a high percentage of completely asymptomatic people, though I have no idea how many are asymptomatic with seasonal flu. Expand Covid-19 also takes a lot more for many to recover from (see the health system in NYC). So there are quite a few important differences. That said, if we are looking at 0.5% mortality, that would be really good news. The rate limiter on being something like normal in the fall would be what % of people who get it end up in a hospital, because at 0.5%, and smart conduct for us all and social distancing for the most vulnerable, we could probably stomach the deaths without shutting down the economy a second time. My current senior who is missing all her senior year stuff would really like this to happen so she can be a true college freshman this fall, and not be staring at remote learning. For anyone with college kids, I'd encourage a listen to this optimistic take by the Chief Health Officer for the University of Michigan: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0rpFb8ZzIS4FbYxDAACCWx?si=tHMsUKRLTOGsiCZNdfhT9g 2
SectionC3 Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 On 4/23/2020 at 5:29 PM, Doc Brown said: I'm guessing based off the limited studies that.... 1.) A lot of people have/had it without symptoms making the death rate anywhere from .1 to .8%. 2.) It's extremely contagious which explains the remarkable number of deaths in a short period of time. 3.) Herd immunity will happen before any type of vaccine is mass produced. Expand I completely agree with all of those things (I'm not ascribing to the math, but I share the view that the death rate is lower than now believed to be). I still believe in proceeding cautiously because of the unknown, e.g., whether there is immunity and whether the test numbers are accurate. A sewage study of and in the tested areas might be a good idea.
