Yes

These are the exact stats predicted for a process of high prevelance that was previously undetected

The way "officials" are handling this is breathtakingly absurd...

I am going to bump a prior thread

However, we read that people who had covid, had it a second time (which is a requisite for herd immunity).


untrue. This virus isn't changing 100 million years of human evolution.

We are nowhere near herd immunity at this point.


Increasing positives without increasing sickness/death should suggest otherwise to you. It's math.

but the spikes are troubling


No, the spikes are reasonable and expected for a population not at risk, being exposed.

Covid has already killed most of the people its going to kill.


This is another point that people either don’t get, or won’t talk about.

There is a finite number of people that would actually be at risk of dying from this. Every death removes someone from that pool. Whatever the number may be.

I fully expect death numbers to be fudged though. They are too low to justify the hysteria

yes, when the rest of the world is dealing with the 2nd wave we will be on with our business.


also on a side note, the FB team needs to get the virus this summer so they wont have to sit out in the fall....


i figure if you have a positive test during the season, that means 2+ weeks out of football....like 2-3 games

OK. So when do we reach herd immunity?


I believe 60% infected is deemed Herd Immunity. Based off of CDC’s updated predictions of 40m people already having had it, we need about another 160m before we reach that point.


However, I believe the stats say at 40% is when you see a sharp decline in new cases. That’s the point when the virus begins to struggle to find hosts.

Today, Fauci said 100,000 cases a day are possible.

200,000 low-risk cases a day would be better for the long-term health of the nation, IMO.


With the amount of cases not being detected we might already be well north of 100K "actual" cases at this point.

I mean that seems all but doubtless at this point, given how many non-symptomatic testees (I said testees) are coming back positive.

It's gotten me wondering, do a lot of people catch the flu every year and not know it and not have any symptoms? The only times I've ever been tested for it was because I was sick as a dog already and went to the doctor, where he decided to do so.

It's a legit question. Or perhaps the symptoms are so minor that it's not worth doing anything about.

But as far as the premise of the thread I do think it would be good for as many healthy people as possible to get it and get it over with.

They revised there numbers recently and it's gone down.

They also have refused to provide the age of the hospitalization spike and the demographics. Also the duration of said hospitalization visit.

In Florida all of that data is public. Florida easily has the best data possible in this entire fiasco. And it's showing people avg age of 35 are the spike in positive cases.

Wait till end of July when cases continue to spike and the death rate is low or even lower.

Isn't that pretty close to the median age of the population?

I think this should be expected

I'm guessing that's the case going backwards as well

Because you in fact, have to have two negative covid tests prior to release. That alone will hold up beds...even when really not needed.

All the TMC data.

I know that Abbot pressured them into taking down the bed capacity graphic.
