His death rate is around 0.3% (infected to dead) That makes it about as dangerous as riding a motorcycle for 5 years. ;-) (6 million motorcycles, 4500 dead every year. BTW if you could project New York's numbers nation wide, 50 Million of us are over it ... Or the tests the left has pushed Cuomo into using is bogus ;-) It is funny how guys like Harry suddenly became Libertarian when people point out the reason why the feds don't test everyone is that there are no tests that have actually gone through a real FDA study and we don't want to make 350 million bad tests. At that point they start wanting to short cut the FDA study process and cut the red tape. (what they did to get the tests Cuomo is using) That was what Gary wanted ;-) It will be great until we find out Cuomo's tests are bad. OTOH if it turns out they were right, all of this lockdown starts looking pretty silly. If I were forced to cast blame for this cluster f*&$m, it would have to be on all the scientists and experts who develop and interpret the models being used to guess at what the results will be. With all due respect to them, we've already seen many of the initial assumptions made by Docs Fauci and Birx proven to be dead wrong. The only thing proven to be effective is quarantining which has been how epidemics and pandemics have been handled for 100's of years. Some researchers say it goes back to 5000BC in China of all places. Some of the suggestions and recommendations that sound a little bizarre initially just may have some credence. Old fashioned "brain storming" often leads to some new ways of looking at things and new ideas on how to solve a problem. Weird ideas shouldn't be automatically rejected just because they don't have a 2 year academia based research study to base them on. But according to some here, if there are not a lot of university lettersafter your name, or not gone to several universities, you know nothing.
