GG Posted June 26, 2020 Posted June 26, 2020 5 minutes ago, Warren Zevon said: Going by Mayo Clinic's estimate that for Covid 19 70% of the population needs to have been infected to reach it That 70% figure is part of the panic porn, because they represent it as the number of people who were infected by the virus, as opposed to the number of people who have been exposed to the virus. There is a good number of people who may be naturally resistant to the virus in the first place, which is proven by less than 100% infection rates of immediate family members. So if you look at the recent estimates that up to 30% of people in highly infected areas had the virus, and apply a similar percentage to people who were exposed, but didn't contract it (ie almost everyone under 20), then you can easily get to 60% exposure to the virus in the last 6 months. The anecdotal evidence proves it by the almost complete elimination of the spread in regions that got hard hit in Feb - April.

Koko78 Posted June 26, 2020 Posted June 26, 2020 37 minutes ago, B-Man said: How Many COVID Deaths Are There, Really? by John Hinderaker Original Article Currently the Centers for Disease Control says there have been 121,809 COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. Most people, seeing that figure or reading newspaper headlines about Wuhan virus deaths, assume that means that in 121,809 cases, COVID-19 has been the cause of death. But that isn’t true at all. This Issues & Insights editorial does a good job of bringing together some of the relevant data. But let’s start with something they didn’t mention: this acknowledgement by the Director of the Illinois Department of Public Health: I just want to be clear in terms of the definition of people dying of COVID. MORE AT THE LINK: Well, as some of us around here have pointed out, dying WITH and dying OF are not the same thing. Of course, this type of story will never see the national spotlight, because it goes against the narrative that idiots like King Andrew are our saviors in 'this troubled/trying time'. 2

I posted in the national open up thread that Fairfax VA schools are not opening in the fall (2 days max IF you choose that), and today CT said it will be opening schools, NJ is close to a decision (which sounded like yes to reopening). That is helpful. Not only will schools reopening help businesses get back to normal, but if kids are not carriers (which I find hard to believe, but the data that has come out seems to support that they are not super spreaders/getters) they will be fine. The teachers will get it, and help spread it, helping us reach herd immunity. Now, if I am a 60 year-old+ teacher or school administrator with some other health issue? I might seriously consider retiring. But otherwise? I think schools opening go a long, long way to normalcy and economic recovery. Edited June 26, 2020 by Buffalo_Gal 2

Every area that was hit hard is no longer having cases. Same thing here in Montreal where areas that were originally badly hit are no longer hot spots. There are also numerous studies showing that a significant percentage of the population is not even susceptible to the virus which decreases the required herd immunity.
