<p>[QUOTE=&quot;baseball21, post: 4516473, member: 76863&quot;]The CDC is now saying it&#039;s not easily transmissible from surfaces which makes sense.&nbsp; Detecting something on a surface and it being not only transmissible but an infectious load are two completely different things.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s the same with the flu and every other disease too.&nbsp; There will always be a percentage of people that just have a hard time with it or lose their life to something that most people it&#039;s nothing too.&nbsp; Normal healthy people in their prime die of the flu every year as well, this seems to be more serious than the flu the question is just how much more.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The behaviors of it though are not unique, many people are just now learning about the dirty secrets of viruses and getting sick that otherwise would have went most of if not all of their life without ever knowing or thinking about.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m glad she pulled through</p><p><br /></p><p>In general the flu itself doesn&#039;t kill you such as a bullet would, its the complications from it that do and that seems to generally be the case here as well.&nbsp; Whether it be an overactive immune response causing inflammation, pneumonia, clots from either inflammation or being hospitalized for a while.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>No, especially since we dont actually know how many of them have it.&nbsp; The only way to know that is to test everyone.&nbsp; Unfortunately some states have decided to start acting in a way such as keeping lists of people who take the test and people are going to start pushing back against wide spread testing as medical tests including that one are supposed to remain private.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The problem with that is wide spread testing data could be VERY helpful in determining what to do and it&#039;s a shame that is now being abused by states.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The ones most likely to get tested currently are people with symptoms which makes sense, the problem is many people will have it and never develop any symptoms.&nbsp; The issue there is if we have potentially huge groups of cases that we never diagnose than we end up with inflated to grossly inflated death rates.&nbsp; If we tested everyone and it turned out 80% or so of the country has already had it the country is fully opened and normal tomorrow.&nbsp; The path forward is very different if you thing the death rate is &lt;1%, 1-2%, or &gt;3/4%.&nbsp; We think it probably sits in the 1-2.5% range with a chance it could be under 1, but we need massive widespread testing to really get the accurate number[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
