RE: How Long Until the Number of Daily Deaths Decline in the U.S.?
Many different narratives about the coronavirus have been springing forth lately. At this point, I think the government is about to run out of ideas on how to fight this pandemic (my thoughts though). We can only hope for the best.
... nor how many are susceptible to getting it again
I was thinking that if someone recovers from a virus infection they will naturally grow immunity against it. Maybe I'm wrong, cos I've heard about cases of re-infection.
Meanwhile, you mentioned "herd Immunity" again. I'm wondering, does this hold the potential solution to coronavirus? If it does, then how is the government supposed to initiate it?
Thanks for sharing
The thing about herd immunity is that we haven't conducted the spirulogical tests on a mass scale to identify how much of the population actually has the markers of immunity after getting infected and recovering.
We know that people were infected in Nov and that they were travelling all around the world infecting other people. Now if any of the estimates of r0 are remotely accurate, who knows how many people have already been infected. The actual infection rates of most countries could be much much higher than we think. Probably a huge percent of people have already had it and were fine.
Maybe what you thought was the flu 3 months ago was actually COVID-19.
Thanks for taking out time to explain it in details. I think I now understand better.
Meanwhile, your last statement seems really true. People may have thought they had flu and recovered without even knowing it was COVID-19
