Yeah, I think people are forgetting that most will contract the virus and that most will only experience mild symptoms. So far it seems as if the elderly (esp. those with underlying health issues), obese, immune compromised, and people who are exposed to big viral loads, get very sick.
I don't feel like getting tested...not that I can afford it anyway. I'd rather take this as a lesson to make time to exercise more among other things to continue staying healthy.
I for one am looking forward to everything opening again. I am hoping that the curve is truly flattening and that we don't see this pop up again later this year. I'm confused as to how this can occur again if most will have contracted the virus and have immunity. I suppose there are too many unknowns at this point.
Yep. You said it all in a nutshell.
This virus is weird. How it just decimates some while others only have mild symptoms or get over it in a day.
Weird.
I too hope things will start opening up again by May (if it's safe). It's dreary and depressing with everything closed up.

As with flu some people die others don't
As with flu the more you inhale, the shorter the incubation period.
That means two people who been infected under different circumstances can have different outcomes based on the amount of virus particles inhaled and for how long the exposure is.
If they have a lower exposure to the virus it progresses at a slower rate and the body has more time to defend against it thus they outcome can be milder than a person who is exposed to more initially.
Add to this variables with pre-existing lung conditions, high blood pressure, being over weight , sleep and stress factors differences
And you will find the variance in the initial amount of exposure to virus particles as well these physical and conditional differences resulting in different outcomes for other viruses as well.
2020 March - 193,000 total deaths.
2019 March - 253,000 total deaths.
2018 March - 249,000 total deaths.
Would be great to cite a source. One thing to note is that the steps taken to limit coronavirus deaths also limit deaths of some other communicable diseases as well as traffic and other incidental deaths. It’d be good to do a drill down study on this. Ultimately, COVID-19 isn’t the worst that a virus can do, and precautions taken to limit it can be overreactions. However, overreactions are something that can be lifted and corrected much more easily than an “under reaction”.

The 193k number is off, looks like its going to be more like 200k.
NYC is on its way to 100k infections by next week.
One thing about you Checkmarkblue, you stay on top of the doom and gloom reports.
What was your hobby before COVID-19 came on the scene, scouring NYPD daily homicide reports or reading the obituary section of newspapers?

I like to read exponents.
