    yep. Keep in mind if 98% of people effectively socially isolate... which their model long points to will help really slow the spread but just barely ... 96% slows it but still a ****-ton if cases.... that’s still what 6 million plus Americans that aren’t effectively socially isolating.

    which ultimately is why either:
    - many of us will get it and hope to be fine But lots will die
    - we need medicine to treat and a vaccine, but medicine seems like the better and quicker potentiality
    - we’ll be in social isolation for quite a while...

    Unless for some random reason this virus hates the summer enough to put a meaningful dent in it ... as it might

    In fairness, I'm not sure that was during a COVID-19 gathering, but whatever. I nearly died laughing, and I need a bit of that. The laughing, not the dying, that is. :D

    This wasnt for a coronavirus meeting. This is an old video for a town meeting that someone is capitalizing clicks from at the moment.

    No. All anti inflammatories cortisone and NSAIDs create complications.
    Aspirin is NSAID. Other are diclofenac, naproxen and ibuprofen.

    Does this mean:

    Bad news - social distancing might not be as effective ?

    Good news - fatality rate is actually much much lower ?



    “Thus, the key findings, that 86% of infections went undocumented and that, per person, these undocumented infections were 55% as contagious as documented infections, could shift in other countries with different control, surveillance and reporting practices.”

    “Our findings underscore the seriousness and pandemic potential of SARS-CoV2. The 2009 H1N1 pandemic influenza virus also caused many mild cases, quickly spread globally, and eventually became endemic. Presently, there are four, endemic, coronavirus strains currently circulating in human populations (229E, HKU1, NL63, OC43). If the novel coronavirus follows the pattern of 2009 H1N1 pandemic influenza, it will also spread globally and become a fifth endemic coronavirus within the human population.”
