    Also, this German study has it at about .4% - https://reason.com/2020/04/09/preliminary-german-study-shows-a-covid-19-infection-fatality-rate-of-about-0-4-percent/ The California studies put it well below that as well: ...

    Yes, a radiologist.   A guy that went to medical school far longer than you, I'm sure.      And there are plenty of others...the guy that shared the article with me was also a radiologist for example.    And one only needs a small measure of common sense to see through the crap you guys are...

    There's plenty of doctors that say this was a ridiculous overreaction.     This one was written by a radiologist.     https://thehill.com/opinion/healthcare/494034-the-data-are-in-stop-the-panic-and-end-the-total-isolation?fbclid=IwAR0v3YF87K-upxDjJUNqte9KKrebXsHh3Mas7MxW_4o1Gazkj2AK-XWILKc...

    Nah, even if everyone in the country got it it would still be hard pressed to hit 2 million because it's simply not that dangerous.

    What's worse is that our ridiculous overreaction to this one is actually going to cause more people to ignore that one.... kind of like how a bunch of people stick around during the mother of all hurricanes because everyone told them the 5 before that were gonna be the mother of all hurricanes...

    Any figure that revolves around "tested" is cherry picking.    When you expand those to infected, it's significantly lower, since there's a massive number of people infected that have never been identified. From what I understand the testing guidelines, especially when tests were more sparse...

    Yeah for me I'm a semi sooner....   my job allows me to easily work from home and I'll protest some if they make me start going back in since I didn't want to before all of this.     And we will continue limiting our contact while we are probably in a high risk group for exposure with my...

    Kinda strange none of them showed any symptoms too, I'd figure the average homeless person is in below average health.     But maybe the ones that survive a while a fairly hardened and can take a lot.

    Yeah, I'd agree with him.     This stuff spreads crazy aggressively, and I don't see any way they are going to contain this long term.     Especially if it can hop to animals, like the 2 cats that tested positive, and mostly likely right back to humans.   Plus it mutates aggressively based on...

    Personally I doubt his study.    The NY infection rate is probably way higher than that.

    Well, mostly that was a snarky response since him asking me "to talk to the kids" is rather snarky.    Either way, thank you very much for confirming my numbers.   It's good to see them from more sources.

    *** OFFICIAL *** COVID-19 CoronaVirus Thread. Fresh epidemic fears as child pneumonia cases surge in Europe after China outbreak. NOW in USA

    He was responding to me saying that this age group has near zero chance of dying, and said that this hospitalized person now has a much greater than 0% chance.     Really at 3% the hospitalization itself is just simply improbable.     And a death would be "extremely improbable".     Nothing you...

    *** OFFICIAL *** COVID-19 CoronaVirus Thread. Fresh epidemic fears as child pneumonia cases surge in Europe after China outbreak. NOW in USA

    I never even argued about hospitalization figures, I only referenced deaths in these age groups which I said are close to 0.      And the stuff he posted confirms exactly what I said.

    Also from that article - "As for the death rate, the risk was near zero for people under 40." Gee, it gave the EXACT figure I did...

    Seems ridiculous to assign a percentage without even knowing how many people got infected...    which we now know is vastly higher than what anyone estimated on 3/30

    And in my daughter's age group it's basically 0 per 100,000 even make it to the hospital.      There was a 16 year old kid that died here in Illinois, so it's not 0.      But realistically, it's basically 0.

    No, the estimations were based on extremely high mortality rates that are proving to be inaccurate and bloated.      All you have to do is adjust the mortality rate lower and they go down.

    For the 30 year old age group, yes it's extremely improbably that a covid infection results in hospitalization...
