You have to seriously ask yourself if you believe the numbers being reported. They do not make a distinction between "Died FROM COVID-19" and "Died WITH COVID-19". If it is truly only deadly in ~1% of cases, reports coming out of NYC, among others, would indicate that the mortality rates are grossly overblown.

You're right in that the reported numbers aren't giving an accurate picture. But, it ain't the death numbers.

Independence Costco had seven employees test positive for COVID. Yikes.

Just adopt our Governor as your own. You'll have a fighting chance. Gavin has always had vision starting from his days as the Mayor of SF taking on the same-sex marriage fight. We are indeed "exporting" ventilators!

I get that the number of people with antibodies is underestimated. Considering that most people are asymptomatic or develop a mild case, I don’t see the problem if high-risk populations are quarantined.

But the fact remains that we don't know that until we have an antibody test, which that article has claimed was being used, but that hasn't been distributed, so those 30% - 50% hopeful figures, as far as I can tell, have to be bunk?

I don’t know. Valid concern.

If true, HUGE. (A big IF, of course)

A phlebotomist working at Roseland Community Hospital said Thursday that 30% to 50% of patients tested for the coronavirus have antibodies while only around 10% to 20% of those tested have the active virus.

Sumaya Owaynat, a phlebotomy technician, said she tests between 400 and 600 patients on an average day in the parking lot at Roseland Community Hospital. Drive-thru testing is from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m. each day. However, the hospital has a limited number of tests they can give per day.

Owaynat said the number of patients coming through the testing center who appear to have already had coronavirus and gotten over it is far greater than those who currently have the disease.

Didn't Fauci just say yesterday that antibody tests will start to become available soon? As in, they aren't currently.

It is becoming increasingly obvious that Dr. Fauci is controlled/paid by people who don't necessarily have the best interests of the people of the United States in mind. He lays out the worst case scenario as fact and then walks it back a few days later with the caveat that it will probably end up being the worst case scenario after all.

Hmm

Right, as opposed to Donald Trump, a serial liar who acts out his malignant narcissism multiple times a day right before our eyes.

You must be one hell of a diagnostician.

Or he readjusts his opinion when given new or additional information a few days later.

Which all could have been done more efficiently and more effectively if there was true leadership at the federal level.

You have to seriously ask yourself if you believe the numbers being reported. They do not make a distinction between "Died FROM COVID-19" and "Died WITH COVID-19". If it is truly only deadly in ~1% of cases, reports coming out of NYC, among others, would indicate that the mortality rates are grossly overblown.

Probably a very big difference between "reported" cases and actual cases.
As far as died FROM and died WITH, if they were positive WITH COVID-19 and they died, my guess is there probably is a damn good chance COVID-19 was the predominant contributing factor - being that they didn't die before they had it.

Or that the number of cases overall is gross underreported.

Those of us in second- and third-tier cities (like KC and SLC) certainly hope that the modeling was flawed in that significant population centers (like ours) started behaving correctly in what amounts to a two- to three-week head start as compared with first-line cities.
