He's getting that from the doc who is head of infectious disease at OLOL in BR. He basically said that 100% of people will get it, and 80% will never show symptoms.
Yea I don’t believe that. There is nothing in the data to support anything close to that
I think he misinterpreted that to mean that 80% may think they have the flu and it never gets worse than that.

It's just that 80% of people who have it don't know they have it and another 15% think they have a cold so they don't go to a doctor or get tested.
I am very skeptical that 80% of people will be asymptomatic.

What's the story with India? It seems very odd that the most populous country in the world with poor living conditions and located near the outbreak has so few cases.
Very low testing. We'll probably never know the number in India to be honest.
It is likely going to be everywhere though.

The doctors leading this effort for our hospitals are saying ~15% are completely asymptomatic. ~65% have cold/mild flu symptoms, that is more accurate I think.
15% have pretty shitty flu symptoms. 5% worse than that.
These numbers are all fluid though unfortunately and change day-to-day as testing ramps up.

Like a lot of people, this time of year I have what might be suspected as mild coronavirus symptoms pretty much nonstop. That's obviously a problem for identifying who really needs to be tested.

Where did you see this? Would love to read more on any kind of certainty on when it actually got here beyond just having the test available at that time.
Interested to see when and how early negative tests were out there in the US. Not finding much on google rn.
I could never find a link in this thread, but it was posted here.
To try finding it, Google articles and studies concerning the King County,WA outbreak. I'm almost certain those studies were conducted in Washington.

For sure. I am one of them. I have awful Spring pollen allergies and right now I'm worried I'm going to get shanked for sneezing in public.

I posted it a couple hundred pages ago, but the case fatality rate of the Spanish Flu was 2.5%.
You posted the U.S. death rate.

Five of those nine are hospitalized, and three are in critical care. Asking @DCHHS @JudgeClayJ to tell us which ages are hospitalized and critical -- important to know as we are told younger people are less likely to experience severe symptoms.
