COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[True_Blue69]

If 100% of New York state had been infected the death rate would already be 0.13%

At best I would say 25% have been infected.....Death rate definitely above 0.5%

Just for the record I haven't said that I think it's 0.1%. Just pointed out studies are ranging from that to 0.66% and referenced them.

Ain't that the truth. Juvenile point scoring from virtually all of them.

This is the question that is key to leaving lockdown:
"If we are going to leave lockdown how are we going to restart mass public transport without mass temperature checks, hand sanitizer deployed everywhere, the compulsory wearing of face masks (or face coverings) and the mass disinfection of trains/trams/busses and stations."

Not once has it remotely close to having been asked.

BtW I have frames it as a closed question. But there is only one answer. The follow up question is how the above are to be achieved in a short time frame.

Happy to admit I was wrong at the start, I thought it was being built up by the media to be more than what it was.

If I'm a happy clapper and am more optimistic then looking back will tell anyone your the polar opposite saying 20 million would die and 4% of all people that catch it.

We have both been wrong but I believe everything you have posted had been in good faith and wouldn't call you a liar, which you have twice.

I said 20 million would die worldwide if it killed (then the WHO estimate of between 3% and 4% of those infected) and it infected 10% of the world’s population. Which it would (kill 20m in that event).

Spanish Flu killed somewhere between 20-100m people worldwide and the second wave was the worst. I’m hoping and praying that’s not the case this time as we’re currently about six months in, the deaths per day worldwide increases steadily every day and we’ve got about 12-18 months of this at best.

Studies aren’t just ranging from 0.1 to 0.66% though are they. They’re ranging from the low end to 1%. In northern Italy, even if everyone in Bergamo have had it (which they likely didn’t) it killed 0.56%.

13% of the population of NY state have had it, including 20% of NY City. It equates to a 1% mortality rate.

are they doing mass antibody testing?

So the coronavirus map shows swaths of areas in the UK with 0 deaths.
Surely these should be freed of lockdown restrictions?

I think it only works when we are all on lockdown at the same time,if some people are let out then they travel to see other people,pick it up and take it back and people say well are out so I am going to go out,all of nothing I reckon works the best

There were 2,250 report Covid 19 deaths in Bergamo in early April for a population of 122k. Unofficial estimates put the death toll at at least double that

Covid 19 been touted as racist!! I’m not been funny but maybe certain groups arent isolating as well as they should and tend to live with elderly members of their families

If you mean certain ethnic groups seen it first hand virtually every evening for the past week as people turn up around meal time.
