COVID: The lesser flu

I hope you’re correct. I also wonder how many that had died or was serious ill also had the normal flu as well? I haven’t seen any information on that.

Are they testing those with symptoms for COVID-19 only?

Their is still lots of unanswered question.

No you don’t.

Read my post again…I think it was pretty clear of what I asked

“Adjusting this estimate for the statistical margin of error implies about 2.8% to 5.6% of the county’s adult population has an antibody to the virus — which translates to approximately 221,000 to 442,000 adults in the county who have been infected. That estimate is 28 to 55 times higher than the 7,994 confirmed cases of COVID-19 reported to the county at the time of the study in early April.”

I use those numbers because they are correct.

OK I understand that. But could 25 percent of those that died with COVID also had flu as well? Are they testing for that as well. It double whammy.

This is information we should know.

Yes- we do.

A clear sign the psychologic fever of CV19 is breaking.

How? How do you check?

it will, in the end, be “the lesser flu”

imagine for just a nano second how bad the flu would be with no immunity and no therapeutics.

much, much worse than this.

now imagine what this will be once we have therapeutics and immunities.

The current CV19 numbers are presumed.

Not verified.

Yes, they are testing for co-infections.

The vast majority are lab test verified.

Want to know what the average percentage of flu deaths are lab test verified over the past 10 years? 10-25% depending on the year. It averages about 17%.

Still early.

Could prove otherwise.

Tricky and odd is how I think of it.

The data is raw and needs a lot of scrutiny.

They weren’t. Where did you see they are?

30% false positives.

Right @GWH ?

New York alone added 4000 unverified deaths to the total.

What is “True Mortality Rate”

Did I say either one?

It’s not about that, the question might unfortunately be was it worth completely destroying the worlds economy for? Not to excited about the next Great Depression if the IMF is correct and that’s what they are saying is coming. Thousands of stores will be going out of business from this and a lot of big named companies that employed 10’s of thousands.
