nobody understands how lockdown works, it’s amazing

not quite as bad as the headline makes it out to be though

quote:

“The climb has been difficult, as the descent will also be.”
“We are facing the biggest threat to the planet’s public health since the flu of 1918,” Sanchez said, explaining that the resumption of normal activity would only happen in phases. “The last thing we should allow is a step backwards because that would be more than a setback” but “it would be a rebound”, for the virus.

Listen, I've been around a bit, you know, and I thought I'd seen some creepy things go on in the movie business, but I really have to say this is the most disgusting thing that's ever happened to me.
On or about 2/17, in the NE USA, my wife and I contracted an illness. On 2/19 she and our child went out of town, and on 2/22, the day before she got home, all three of us began experiencing symptoms of what seemed like, and may have been, influenza: moderate fever, body aches, some amount of coughing. This progressed over 5-7 days, and then we had 1-2 days of feeling better, before experiencing a recurrance of fever combined with much more severe respiratory symptoms, which included a lot more coughing and hacking up thick poo poo than I personally have experienced in ~20+ years. By the third or fourth day of this, I had a "crinkling" sound coming from one of my lungs.

For my wife and I, it was this "two hump" pattern; our 3 year old seemed to follow more of a "one hump", though her breathing sounded hosed up enough that I slept on the floor in her room watching her for the worst couple nights of it.

My wife has since related that at the peak of her symptoms she was feeling winded doing basic things, and that she lost her sense of smell and taste nearly entirely for the second week of it. (By nature she's the opposite of a hypochondriac and does not complain about things much).

All of these symptoms scream COVID, except that COVID symptoms overlap flu so neatly, flu can also cause a subsequent pnemonia, and based on what was until very recently the understood models of community transmission, it just seemed really unlikely. On the other hand, it seems like every day we have a little more reason to question how accurate the early models were, and as far as vectors, our kid is in day care with kids who have parents who in some cases probably are exposed to people who travel a lot, and definitely the healthcare system here.

I mainly wonder about it because one spot in my lungs still feels a little hosed up; I really wish we had an antibody test that was reliable. It wouldn't change our behavior at this point, and I'd feel bad if I had been a vector for a couple weeks and not known it, but on the other hand I barely leave home, especially when sick.

I haven't seen a non-conservative estimation of US deaths with realistic numbers knowing what we know of this virus?

330mil, 80% infection rate for herd immunity, 20% hospitalization which = 20% mortality when hospitals are overrun

spits out

53 million dead? hm, not great, I'm sure the flu has killed more tho so no need to worry.

I said this too and I think the consensus is that the hospitalization rate is overstated dramatically by our low rate of testing and not everyone being given supplemental oxygen outside the ICU would necessarily die either.

what are you talking about? this is america. the pandemic isn't just "basically over", it never started. it was over before it started. it's a hoax. the cure is worse than the disease.

there is no consensus because there will never be a consensus. about anything, ever. this country's media messaging system is designed to make sure the controversy and conversation never stops, never slows. never reaches a conclusion. good luck. smoke weed every day.

yeh you're right, death rate will probs only be like 10% which would mean only like 25mil US deaths caused by the government's inaction.
now lets figure out indirect deaths!

We have no idea the breadth or actual hospitalization rate of the disease.

There are probably more like millions of cases in the US right now, not 430k.
