What did he say

That 2.7 million New Yorkers had already had it and were recovering.

That the death rate was far lower than believed. The tone was very much "this isn't so bad, it's just like a nasty flu."

To his credit he did acknowledge that the results were "preliminary" and that New Yorkers should not stop social distancing yet and that the flat rate of new cases is troubling.

If the death rate is truly .5% that's much better news than it being 5%. But .5% is still awful. And I can hear the consent manufacturing factory humming.

The more you kick against the pricks, the more you suffer.
"Opening the economy" is meaningless other than as a marker where the consequences of poverty and unemployment will be dismissed as laziness.

How many bags of potatoes would I have to loot from Picabo to justify the 4 hour round trip?

This is a complicated calculation which includes gas prices, the fuel efficiency of your car, and also the value of your time as labor and/or recreation. But you should go and loot all them fuckin' potatoes. Yes, they're perishable, but they decay slowly, and you can share them with neighbors when society collapses.

it probably will make the case for more widespread antibody testing too though - especially if there is immunity associated with it
if you test positive on the antibody test but negative on the regular test you should be clear to "go back to normal activity" (provided it isn't a false reading)

There are 328 million people in the USA, so the prevalence would be 2.1%. With a rate of false positives at 10% or greater, these serologic tests are not as helpful as we would like them to be.

Of course, the prevalence is not uniform across America and Canada. In New York City, the prevalence might be as high as 15-20%, in which case serology will be more useful. But in Montana, the prevalence at this time is likely well below 1%, making the tests not as useful there. ...

Dr. Allan Detsky is a professor of Health Policy, Managementand Evaluation and Medicine at the University of Toronto. He was physician-in-chief at Toronto's Mount Sinai Hospital during the SARS outbreak of 2003. Dr. Isaac Bogoch, an infectious disease physician and scientist at Toronto General Hospital, is associate professor of Medicine at the University of Toronto.

seems like using a test with a false positive rate of >10% as an excuse to "open up the economy" is a bad idea to me, but what do I know

A couple blocks down from me, there's two bars almost next to each other selling takeout from their window onto the sidewalk. One bar has offered steep discounts (by NYC bar standards) and the other has keep prices at high bougie brooklyn craft bar prices. The cheap one seems to be doing way better, always a few people hanging out in front and chatting from 6 feet away. Expensive bar mostly has one sulky looking dude with the window closed. Cops don't care about container laws right now so they will give you 32 oz in a takeout soup container and poke a straw hole for you with a knife.

BRB - going on the internet to buy a bunch of cobras

That was from the French nicotine study. One of the authors is a renowned neuroscientist who became famous by mapping out various chemical pathways in the nervous system and how chemicals related to nicotine affect them. In the argument where they explain how nicotine is potentially affecting the body in COVID-19 they cited a bunch of previous research that he and his team had worked on in the past mapping out these pathways. For some reason a lot of the research was done on cells from animals which had unique properties, such as deadly snakes and electric eels, so that article contains sentences like: “Structural studies further revealed that a short region in the ectodomain of the rabies virus glycoprotein shows sequence similarity to some snake toxins [20, 22] that were initially used to isolate the nAChR from fish electric organs [23])”

it's probably between .5 and 1% which is not only 10x the seasonal flu but we have no annual immunization campaign like we do with the flu. So that's still REALLY loving BAD even if it isn't collapse of society bad.

I don’t know your ability to care for your kid or what grade they are on, but think back to when you were their age and ask yourself of missing out on 4 months of school is worse than rolling the dice on potential death or long term health ramifications and the trauma your kid will go through
