You're right. It's no more dangerous than the common cold. Nobody is dying, nobody is going to die, we should go back to life exactly as it was four months ago.

You and your family should light the way. Go out, be normal, act like it's 2018. Get off the misc and don't concern yourself with the sheep bleating on about this nonesense any more. Go forth and be merry.

Nothing we can do to stop that. Only thing we can do is prevent the hospital system from being overloaded, and base our economy/social distancing off that. We can't stop the spread, and we can't stop the vulnerable that get it from dying from it. We can't sit on our hands till a vaccine is released, so what else can we do?

Yes, Stanford did a study where 1.5% of people tested had antibodies. They then massaged those numbers to estimate that up to 5.2% might have immunity. Even if you take conservative low numbers for herd immunity we need 60%. We've already had 40k die to get to the estimated 5.2% number...how many will die to get to even just 60%?
Again, this was a study on a county of 1.95million people where there were ~1800 confirmed cases and 79 deaths. All it shows is that its a lot more widespread than testing can keep up with. If it is 16x more prevalent than the testing shows in Santa Clara County, it stands to reason that its off by at least a factor of 10 in NY state. 15% herd immunity isn't a lot, but its contributes to the slowing of the curve which may mean the hardest hit areas may be able to recover faster.

We can't stop the deaths.

Open upslowwwwwlyin careful, small steps, because if we just jump back in the way a few want to, we will be right back at the 'curve' spiking above hospital capacity.

CA is one of the most under-tested states in the country. You can't take two states with two different levels of testing and just copy and paste an "x-times the tested" precisely because of the difference in baseline testing.

NY has tested 29k people per 1 million population. CA has tested 6k people per million population. So of course CA official numbers are relatively lower than NY...because NY has tested more than 4x as many on a per capita basis

Yup. 500k deaths to get close to herd immunity without a vaccine. Assume this happens over the course of 24 months. Average deaths in a year in America is ~3.0million. Assume 20% of the Covid victims would have died during those 2 years regardless, we're looking at a death rate increase of ~7% over 2 years to get close to herd immunity without a vaccine.

Why do you assume it would happen at a rate of 685 deaths per day? We are already at 4x that...and that is during a super hardcore stay at home blitz

All the hardest hit areas got hit by surprise. We're still seeing the effects of the spread from Ranger/Knicks games a month ago. We're not going back to that life till this virus is gone.

The effects of social distancing, seasonal variations, measured lockdowns and relaxations of said lockdowns combined with the increased herd immunity will lower the infection level and daily death rate to a manageable level, where we almost forget about it.

The effects of social distancing are currently at their maximum, they will only go down from here as we start to open back up.

Herd immunity of 1.5%-5% just isn't enough to slow things down. Not enough people, yet.

Biggest hope right now is seasonal cuts it down for the summer.

Aw **** Farley in meltdown mode.
Survival. When the jungle tears itself down and builds itself into something new. Guys like you and me, we end up dead. Doesn’t really mean anything. Or, if we happen to live through it, well that doesn’t mean anything either.

Hopefully one day you will realize you were bull****ted all this time. But I seriously doubt it.
Hopefully one day you realize I've been right the entire time.

Keep telling yourself that 2500 daily deaths, during the middle of a nationwide lockdown, is no big deal.

You're right. Summer wont' do anything. Viruses never spread less during the summer, and are not seasonal. It will continue straight through. We are all doomed.

Imagine people willing to quarantine themselves until a vaccine is found just so we can prevent bingocels and sickcels from dying. Ain't gonna happen, bub. People dying in droves is our new normal. Going into an economic depression is not it.

There needs to be a happy medium. If we went with a completely “business as usual” approach, our economy would take an equally steep dive. Brb 100-200 million infected, probably half having to take work off from illness, 10%+ hospitalized and 1% dead. That would destroy our economy.

The irony of all of this... more people have been born in 2020 than have died.

We're so parasitic as a species even nature can't successfully put our numbers in a deficit on the year.
