It's been talked about that a lot more have it than we think. That's why we

Which in my mind is a great scenario shows this isn’t scary

cougarfann888

How does this scenario explain what is happening in Italy?

barnacle

3/17/20 10:30pm

They are different that we are. They are more crowded, grandparents usually live

wabluecoug

3/17/20 10:35pm

If 20% of the population had it millions of our older people would be infected.

barnacle

3/17/20 10:36pm

I don't think 20% have it, I was just speculating why Italy's numbers are what

Correct. They don’t have stars on their bellies.

Italians suffer disproportionately from resp illnesses. Look it up

Most of the countries testing are finding very few people actually

Does someone test positive a week after they get better?

Joe Banks

3/17/20 10:32pm

No. In the US you have to actually test negative twice 24 hours apart to be

Lance71

3/17/20 10:34pm

I imagine people who were feeling any symptoms were getting tested. I’m not

Coach's Dad

3/17/20 10:37pm

I think that's why the push for testing has been so great...

CougarBuddy

3/17/20 10:44pm

The thing is, it’s hard to believe that with the hundreds of thousands of tests

BYUCLA

3/17/20 10:34pm

I don’t think the US is testing randomly enough to get a real figure. I could be wrong though

3/17/20 10:39pm

We could use data from other countries. I don’t care where it comes from

BYUCLA

3/17/20 10:42pm

From what I understand, S. Korea was testing anybody who asked.

3/17/20 10:55pm

Here’s a link to something from South Korea

BYUCLA

3/17/20 11:00pm

I found a link to their CDC. This scares me.

3/17/20 11:11pm

But won't infect the high-risk people that are self-quarantined.

Mises

3/17/20 11:24pm

That’s not really how quarantine works.

3/17/20 11:41pm

Not if grandma isn't letting anyone in.

Mises

3/17/20 11:49pm

Like her nurse? Meals on wheels? Her dia-beetus supplies from Wilford Brimley?

3/17/20 11:55pm

That is what I have heard watching the Korean news and getting info from my wife

morningcalmcougar

3/17/20 11:08pm

Germany has been far more random than SK. SK still only really tested

CSoul

Extremely unlikely

chilango

3/17/20 10:43pm

Why?

Lance71

3/17/20 10:48pm

Answered below, if this is a serious question.

chilango

3/17/20 10:58pm

From what I understand, that’s not the case

3/17/20 10:53pm

lance71 only reads one page of CB. Talked about topic a ton

3/17/20 10:53pm

Because the virus didn’t exist in humans until very late last year, and it

chilango

3/17/20 10:57pm

So 65 million had it, but no deaths were attributed to it?

bluesloth

I wish I could find it, but I read somewhere that the CDC

Iceland, with a higher per capita infection % than Italy, is doing a lot of

Board name checks out. First name Walter.

Coach's Dad

3/18/20 12:04am

That would actually be GREAT news

3/18/20 12:10am

Makes absolutely no sense from an infectious disease/epidemiology basis.

StalwartBraveTrue

3/18/20 12:45am

Unless the death rate is actually lower than the flu.

Lance71

3/18/20 8:09am

Check S Korea where they’ve had the widest testing of any nation yet.

StalwartBraveTrue

3/18/20 7:39pm

And there’s no evidence that it is.

chilango

3/18/20 7:44pm

There's quite a bit of evidence that the death rate is only higher in only

Please clarify what you mean by that, and provide some examples.

chilango

Here is one. There are several others.

Lance71

Every single example in your link has a higher death rate than the flu. Most are

You basically ignored what I said in my post. And came to your own conclusion of

Your OP: “Unless the death rate is actually lower than the flu” What did I miss?
