A few weeks ago, everyone was using them an example who we should be like. I’m checking after two weeks if that is who they think are the shining example.

Results are in from mass blood serology testing from California. Shows the actual number of people who've had the virus is 50-80 times greater than the number that's being officially reported. Also shows the actual mortality rate is 0.12-0.2 percent. The mortality rate for flu is 0.1 percent.
I did. I had a question and asked it. I’m blunt. I prefer to not have to decipher stuff so I put things so people don’t have to decode it.
I can type the question slower if you would like me to???
That came out yesterday. It was from a study of 3,300 people. It's good information, and is actually helpful to show us what more testing and antibody testing can do for us to actually open things up, but doesn't keep the medical systems from being overrun by an explosion of cases like if what happened at these packing plants continues to occur.
The rate of death has still been really quick and that's after action was taken to slow it.
If this had the same death rate in a month as the flu, we wouldn't be here.
Side note maybe after this people can start to take care of themselves to help avoid heart disease to get that blue line down a bit and save the country hundreds of billions of dollars annually. If personal responsibility is the answer to taking care of Covid and stop all the financial burden, it should apply there too.
Except that's not what you did. What exactly are you thinking the situation is in Ohio.
that is an incredibly misleading comparison. The death rate for the flu is not based on serology testing - it’s based on diagnosed cases at a doctor. A huge percentage of people with the common flu don’t see the doctor or get diagnosed.
Yeah, you never answer anything but love to spin stuff. Not even sure why I even read your responses because they aren’t responses. Sometimes someone just want to know if people’s. ......never mind.... easier way.
I watch their government site to see what their actions are. Curious if I should be looking at a different states website to see what their restrictions are. A simple yes would have sufficed to my question. If no, then a state. I had mentioned early on that I watch MN since I’m always a mile or two from them.
Ohio...I'd figure a state with that high of a population density would be worse. I'd think the same thing for Florida too.
BTW Florida has 21,000,000 people in that skinny of an area?
I don't get the appeal of living there.

thank you, that was pretty easy, huh? Appreciate your responses. (Not meant to be hostile at you, quite the opposite)
Many people live in Florida for the warmer weather and several older people I know live there due to no state income tax.

It is important because if that ratio holds and we learn that immunity from the antibodies is effective, places like New York could be already approaching herd immunity levels that indicate a second wave is unlikely.
Take New York state as an example. 241,041 cases as of today multiplied by a potential "unknown infection" factor of just 50 gives you over 12 million people with immunity out of 19.5 million. If 62% of New Yorkers have had some form of it already the odds it recurs is really, really low. They are basically at a level where community spread stops occurring already regardless of masks and social distancing being employed.
Of course, you won't actually know until the serology testing occurs randomly in NY state, but we don't have any reason to believe the virus behaves differently in different areas. So it is something everyone will want to pay attention to.
Haha, no problem.
Yeah population density is what drives me away from places. Colorado for example is really cool and all, but the entire front range area is just traffic everywhere and it feels like anything you do, everyone else is there too.
it seemed like it gets busier and more assholey by the month, but maybe that second part was just me.
