Whether People who refuse to knuckle under to autocratic and authoritarian State governors will have a "second wave" with more case mortality - predictions are just that - foretelling the future - and comparable to the Imperial College predictions of "Ferguson" i believe - of millions of fatalities.
A grossly incorrect model.
Thanks - but I m no prophet - just a person recognizing that people are fed up with House arrest and forced social separating measures for a virus that is widely perceived as to not be nearly as deadly as the "authorities ' desire.
Wuhan has an Ro close to that of Influenza A- and a higher (maybe) case mortality rate published in the papers - but the real asymptomatic /minimally symptomatic infected number for denominator of case mortality is unknown - and likely higher than perceived.
The Wuhan virus is going through the population regardless - "social separation" measures will slow the spread - some maybe - but the ultimate infection rate can only be stemmed by herd immunity.
Vaccine is likely next year at best. Dexamethasone does help Conservatives with severe disease - Liberal patients are advised not to take the drug by LSM because Trump mentioned it. Don't want any Trump cooties - now do we Liberals???
Providing a safe shelter for those who are at risk - elderly pre-existing conditions, immune deficiency disease - should be the priority. Let other folks shelter is they wish - let's open the economy and not let the cure be worse than the disease - Which the result devoutly to be desired by Governors Gruesome, cuomo, Whitmer, and others.
What is the viral inoculum required to create infection in a person - unknown. masks may help prevent exposure of people in close proximity to an infected and viral shedding individual. How much protection - unknown.
