    Please explain

    Wow! 50,000 new Kung Flu victims...

    And in the time frame there were fewer deaths since we were attacked by China in February.

    How can that happen. Look it up.

      -Look it up.-
      don't tell me what to do.
      Kung Flu? seriously? Hello, hello, hello..
      But I think there is some basis.
      Anyone know a neighbor that has died from the flu?
      Well, I mean, the Coronavirus-19.
      If I should die before I wake...great,a little more sleep.

          Deaths are down because the people getting it are generally younger and have lower mortality. In the early days the virus feasted in nursing homes and such places. But more cases means more ways the virus can spread to high risk groups. Either fight the virus on its terms or lose on its terms. It can't care what people call it.

              The low hanging fruit got taken out. Now the youonger folks are spreading it and getting it, but fewer are dying. Souonds like the flu. A bad flu.

              -Either fight the virus on its terms or lose on its terms. It can't care what people call it.-

              Herd immunity. The youong and strong survive. It's a fairly fair contagion. Look into the stats worldwide. It's interesting what areas get it and don't get it. Ever thought about moving to a pacific island? Now's the time. If they will let you. Do I have it? I don't know. I could get tested, but what does that prove? I've got it and show no symptoms? Then what? Get food delivered to my door for $15? If I'm sick, I know I'm sick. I've had the flu before. I really don't get testing. Some one's going to have to explain it to me.

                  Herd immunity- not. Article from John Hopkins.

                  https://www.jhsph.edu/covid-19/artic...h-covid19.html

                  -we will likely need at least 70% of the population to be immune to have herd protection.-

                  I still don't really get all the testing. It seems pretty inefficient to me. If you are infected then you stay home. If you show up clean, great. Now next week you get it at the grocery store. How did the earlier test help?

                      They say highest amount of virus shedding (that's what they call it) with this one is right on the edge of feeling symptoms. Which is what makes it tough to control.
