Sounds better than the unsustainable mass lockdowns/social distancing...

The Surgeon General said the numbers would be high this week. I wish elected officials would point out the CFR as the guiding thing here and tell people give it a few weeks the curve will begin to improve. This would install confidence instead of panic in the country and we will all be closer to getting back to normal life though it could be a few more months. |

Another figure to look at (if the sites I am looking at are at all accurate).... we are currently at ~80k active known cases with ~2k serious/critical. That gives us 2.5% as the absolute max for serious/critical cases. It is FAR more likely that we are looking at ~2k serious/critical cases and ~500k-800k active cases since so many go untested/unreported/undetected. In which case the number drops to .4-.25% of all cases end up serious or critical. (I think these numbers are actually WAY WAY too high because I think we have far more infected or infected and recovered than we are imagining)
If the number is .4% and we infected almost everyone, we would have something in the range of 1 million people hospitalized in the US for Covid-19. And there are experts who think we will see 1/4 of those people die? Or are these experts claiming that the 80k detected cases is a somewhat accurate figure reflective of how many total US infections there have been since January or December? That would be absolutely ridiculous and I can't imagine anyone being clueless enough to believe that. |

Ironically, the flu didn’t originate in Spain. Spain was the only country that told the truth at the beginning. Hence it was named after them. |
