Default COVID infections 10,000x (NYC - March)

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/23/u...gtype=Homepage

For every COVID diagnosis in NYC in March, it's possible there were already 10,000 infections in circulation.

Does social distancing have any positive effect? Perhaps not, especially when it was instituted so late.

It also means that the illness is even less deadly than currently estimated.

Again. Social distancing was never meant to STOP the spread. Only to SLOW it so we didn't overwhelm our hospitals. Open the economy NOW!

It is long past time to open up the economy.

We keep our doors locked at night and our identity behind passwords, but the government has stolen much more from us than a thief or robber.

Today's antibody study indicates at least 21% of New York City residents have already been infected.

Best of luck with social distancing and stay-at-homes!!!

We will look back at this and roll our eyes at the Hysteria this virus caused. It's also something to think about when the global warming alarmists pushing their prpredictions.

Yep, I’ll be skeptical if you use a crisis to push the agenda you’ve been espousing for years. Sweden didn’t care about flattening the curve, if they amount of death will be similar if you isolate or not, just get it over with and risk an extremely high hospitalization rate, not saying they were right, just another lane to take. These initial models have been so far off, just like many of us presume the global warming models could be.
