I didn't quote and reply to that question, smartass
I replied to the question about people under 45.

This is the dumbest OP I’ve ever encountered in all my years reading this site. Congratulations.

The barriers to safely opening up the economy are geniuses like the OP. Governors don't trust the population to behave responsibly.

considering the name of the virus is SARS-CoV-2, I'd say its definitely more similar to SARS than the flu.

There are 3 examples all around 14% - the NY and L.A. county antibody tests, and the percentage infected on the Theodore Roosevelt ship. These numbers are also consistent with the Diamond Princess cruise ship.

Ummm? Why would he do that? Dead is dead. We have a hard # on that data.

LA County wasn't 14%, it was 4.1%.
Link to study results
OP would need a national level of 12% for his numbers to be correct. If national numbers are like LA County, Covid is roughly 3 times deadlier than the flu.

The LA county antibody test estimated to 2.8% to 5.6%

again...extrapolated high density cases to the entire population doesn't make sense
I wouldn't expect the same % of people to have been infected in Iowa than I would have in NYC

50k dead now, and that's with shutting the entire country down for 2 months.
You can spin it however you want but this thing is nasty and it's not over

Because exposure/spread is clearly not equal state-to-state unless you believe that the percentage of symptomatic cases varies based on geographic location - which is absurd.
For example, Louisiana and Kentucky have almost identical state populations (LA is 4.6 Million, KY is just under 4.5 million).
Louisiana has 26,140 confirmed cases of COVID; Kentucky has 3,481.
So clearly there is no uniform spread of COVID across the U.S. - which makes total sense considering how infectious disease spreads.
So if you are going to estimate infected numbers by extrapolating positive tests across the entire U.S. population, you would have to extrapolate deaths per positive infected based on smaller geographic regions first.

828,441/ 4,466,000 = 18.5% positive rate. Without the widespread testing available and a novel virus that spreads quickly, its safe to say you can attribute that number to 330 Million americans if they/we were all tested. However since most being tested are admitted to the hospital, I’ll be generous and drop it to 12% for the sake of the argument.
If you are comparing it to the Flu, you have to provide the same data for the flu. How many were tested and whats the positive rate for the flu ?

Its not crazy hoops. Its the extrapolation of data. I even lowered the positive rate by almost 33%
You think using simple extrapolation is a good model for determining the mortality rate of a virus? Do you still believe in the tooth fairly?
