It has now been 15 days since Georgia reopened their state. And instead of a surge of hospitalizations & deaths as the media predicted, today Georgia hit a new low on hospitalizations statewide.Comment -

Sweden has no lockdown and only 25k cases. New york with lockdown has 333k cases. Lockdown is useless and it's just a flu.Comment -

I do however believe flattening the curve refers to keeping new cases consistent. For example, around 20k new cases every day for a week would mean a decent increase on the total but the logarithmic curve is flattened as in there is not an exponential increase day to day (hope I got all these fancy words right, lol).Comment -

Money quotes:
1. "virus may be 50 to 85 times more common than official figures indicate"
2. "the US’s coronavirus death rate was 4.1% and Stanford researchers said their findings show a death rate of just 0.12% to 0.2%."
3. "If 50 times more people have had the infection, the death rate could drop by that same factor, putting it "somewhere between 'little worse than the flu' to 'twice as bad as the flu' in terms of case fatality rate,"
It's just the flu, bro. We shut down the world to make 80 year old people live a year longer.Comment -
The average age of death in my province is 85, it is unreal that everything is shut down. People freaking out about 2 to 3 people a day dying here when we have 14 million people...Oh really, you clowns?

That being said I think it's way worse than flu but shutting the world down seems like a bit of an overreaction.Comment -
If the death rate is real low then open everything upComment -
Just let everyone get it and see who comes out the other side.Comment -
It's a matter of perspective.
Tax the rich.....unless I'm rich.
Build affordable housing for the poor....but not in my neighborhood.
Let the old die.......because I'm young.
Let it run it's course....because I'm not in a highly dangerous demographic.
Killing the Indians was okay......'cause I'm not one.
Depends who's set of eyes you're looking at this from.Comment -
the mis information contained in this thread is mind boggling
kind of explains why the usa is in such a terrible stateComment -
Your point may be factual, but it is unintentionally misleading.
First, widespread MASSIVE testing of all Georgians is hardly the case,
so we can't know if the rate of infections has or has not picked up significantly.
Second, it's not like once they said the entire state is open for normal business
that
a) EVERY business opened,
b) many of those that did open, had rules for reduced capacity (thus they are social distancing) and many also have rules for wearing masks (thus continuing to slow the spread)
c) **ALL** citizens did not suddenly flood the streets, stores, bars, and businesses like before covid.
d) it can take up to 2 weeks even to show symptoms, and they may not all get infected on day one.
The point being *IF* say there really is now only 20% of the pre-covid activity going on - and most of that activity is still being "mitigated" - then it's going to be awhile longer to see the true effects of FULL ACTIVITY with the expected slacker mitigation occuring. To draw a proper comparison this has to include a near *FULL* return to normal for passenger air service, public transportation, and cross border visitation. When all that activity is back up close to normal THEN we will see the effects, one way or the other.Last edited by mezmurized2; 05-10-20, 10:01 AM.Comment -

Hmmm...the facts don't support your claim.
According to the CDC
the US mean avg for deaths by common influenza is 38,000 per YEAR.
Covid-19 has KILLED just over 73,000 just in the last 39 days!!!
...and that was WITH tough mitigation measures slowing the spread!
The seasonal flu averages about 190 deaths per day during flu season, no mitigation.
Covid-19 is averaging 1,900 deaths per day - with lockdown!!!

Ya, that Stanford study - which was not properly "peer reviewed" before release"virus may be 50 to 85 times more common than official figures indicate"
has since been reviewed and challenged as flawed

The rate of infections *is* undoubtedly much higher than states are submitting
but it really isn't the rate of infections that matters -- it's the number of DEATHS.
And as we see below the rate of DEATHS is far and away higher than the flu.
Not even remotely close!

As far as I know Sweden also acknowledge that they have much wider spread and higher death rate than their neighbors at the moment, but that's because they intentionally are months ahead of the other countries due to their strategy. Come 2021, they expect Norway and Finland to have equal or maybe even more deaths / million residents.
Sweden's main goal is to protect the risk groups but otherwise let the virus spread at as high of a pace as possible as long as it doesn't overwhelm the hospitals etc.
Is it the right strategy and would it even work the same way in other countries with different cultures? Who knows...Comment
