I hope like hell they're right and it's way more prevalent than we thought. There's some suspicion that NYC may already be approaching herd immunity as the down side of the slope is pretty rapid but I'm somewhat skeptical of that. We just don't know shit about this ****er. We've studied some things for ****ing decades and still learn new shit. It's frankly, amazing that we know what we do about Sars Cov 2 this quickly. |

When I heard the USC and Stanford study results, I wasn't surprised in the least. It makes sense. |

The issue is just that people aren't used to reading about and understanding experimental studies and the peer review process. All of these studies are promising, but the way science works is to assume that you're wrong until there's enough evidence to conclude that you're right. That isn't anything different with this, but most people aren't used to thinking about it in those terms.

I think we have enough info to say that is seems like a more dangerous virus than Influenza but by how much who knows and that's about it so far. I am taking into account more than just CFR etc.. . (flame away)

At this point, it looks like we actually are lucky it's not worse mortality wise than it is. It shows we're woefully underprepared for a pandemic and hopefully we can be more ready for the next one.

Unfortunately SARS, MERS, H1N1, Ebola were not enough to scare us, I am not sure this one will be either.
