This is based off actual cases, not the thousands of asymptomatic

CDC guidance on quarantine is 10 days after symptoms starts and 3 days after they end...non asymptomatic 10 days
CDC

Positive Cases
Covid data tracker

Active cases
1,407m
-1,195m 10 days ago
-. 80k dead
= 132k

So 132k nationally, assume 2% hospitalized = 2,600

Why is this not what people are talking about

shite, we're up to 80k deaths?
Stopped paying close attention to the numbers a couple of weeks back. But 80 seemed to be the total people were expecting it to settle at a few weeks back if I remember correctly

It will be a lot of deaths. More than most here thought but less than the experts and fear mongerers thought.

The deaths are inflated and over 1% of current cases are in TN prisons...we are testing the entire state system

Why are we assuming 2% are hospitalized?

Why is the fact that the average Age of death being 80+ not talked about? Or the risk of being hospitalized virtually 100% correlated with other serious, yet recognizable conditions?

We have known these things for months.

We could have bought all of these people 5000sqft homes on the California coast with free grocery and medication deliveries for life at a fraction of the cost of what we have spent thus far.

It is a lot of deaths, but a huge number of them are very old, nursing home residents, people with multiple co-morbidities, or people that fall into all of these categories. Many were going to die of something else anyway. It will be interesting to see how the mortality stats for 2020 stack up against prior years. There will probably be an increase, but maybe not nearly as much as you think.

As of right now, Texas has 1650 hospitalized for COVID-19 with 18000 active cases so you might want to rethink that attack rate.

EDIT: Worldtrackers data for hospitalization has always been poor. There were numerous times the daily dead greatly exceeded the number claimed hospitalized.

Current hospitalized. And don’t argue with me, argue with the Texas health department dashboard.

Who cares about any of the numbers. They’re just statistics at this point. It’ll be sad if someone you know dies from it, but it’s sad if someone you know dies from cancer or gets in a car wreck.

This is just part of society now. And it’s not bad enough to grind everything to a halt
