I think a good stat on antibodies will show the mortality rate to be very low. Who know if that data will ever be available. [/quote]
You can get the stats everyday in TN by going to the Health Department web site and clicking on COVID-19. They list by county and then give a detailed list of deaths (no names), ages, gender etc. You can see the numbers tested and found not positive and those that have recovered. You can also go to the county web site and get actual cases by zip code. We know that in our zip code, we have a huge number....12....out of 27,000 residents. That's infected from day one until now. Eight have recovered and one died. The one was in his 50's and had a heart problem. That means that out of 27,000 residents here in our zip code, three still have the virus. Put another way, that is .00011 of the population that has this virus around us. And those three are in quarantine. Our area is full open. When you go out it looks normal. Traffic is heavy and businesses are up and running. Restaurants will be allowed to open for seating in June. But in truth, they should be open today.
This virus is very bad there is no question about that, but is it as bad as they are telling us? I've lived through all the viruses, flu's, childhood ailments, and pandemics since 1948 and have never seen anything like this panic we have today. In 1957, when more people died of the Asian Flu ( percentage wise) than have died today, we never shut down anything.
