Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

Lol why is he uncomfortable? I’ve not lost one minute of sleep over this “disaster”
Ive been loving this "disaster". Less traffic on the roads, tons of time spent away from work, not eating out, exercising more, reading more, etc.

Almost 2000 people still die per day from heart disease..Covid has a lot of catching up to do.

Everyone should put on a damn mask and go about their business. This isn’t the first pandemic where we’ve had to do that. 310428ED-F6BB-4BE7-8533-927C1E8DEA23.jpeg
 
I thought this was pretty astounding and certainly below what so many of us had estimated.

Roughly 0.25-0.3% has been the most likely value for about 2-3 weeks now since we started getting more and more antibody tests back. The early study from New York indicated something more like 0.6%, which is what I had been assuming since March (I had been using 0.8% since mid-March but moved that down toward 0.6% when the Lancet paper was published). But, as we get more antibody studies in, the seroprevalence combined total deaths is looking more like that 0.25-0.3% range. I’m still not sure how accurate the AB tests are so it’s going to be something I continue watching - as the deaths/day curve moves down and (hopefully) we get more accurate tests, then we should get a much better handle on the infected case fatality rate.

CDC typically measures symptomatic case fatality rate for flu. So, they have estimated the same for CV and ended up with a sCFR of 0.4% as the most likely. However, they assumed 35% asymptomatic for that and to me that percentage seems higher, which would drive that number up.

Funny because those were popular back in ‘84
