So what happened when 'remain at home' orders are removed? A majority still do not have antibodies to protect them. And then, weeks later, many more are infected? And then, two weeks after that, those curves start climbing again? Predictions do not discuss what will happen once everyone no longer remains isolated at home. Over 60% of us must suffer this virus and create antibodies before this pandemic ends. |

Poor also have higher rates of co-morbidity problems for this disease: hypertension, obesity, diabetes, and they are more likely to be smokers

That BBC article also discusses, on 27 March, the cruise ship Zaandam. That ship and the other mentioned ship, Rotterdam, remain adjacent and docked in Fort Lauderdale.
Some cruise ships are still operating. |

Two days later, most excellent update on the IHME models website which everyone is using
Overall US: - # of deaths projected decreased from 93,531 to 81,766 to 60,415 - Projected total bed shortage went from 87,674 to 36,654 to 15,852 - Peak dates (April 15 for resource needed peak, 16th for peak daily death toll) down to April 13/12 - Under 200 deaths a day: Moved from June 3 to May 18 to May 16 New speculation is that the disease resembles high altitude sickness, and docs are on their way to developing a way to fight it with the new details they have found. One possible outcome is that respirators may be the wrong approach. |

I guess we'll all know in March 2021 if Covid was worse in a year than the seasonal flu. Do you think you'll have the courage to admit when you are wrong? |

12,900 death in a MONTH
That's the total deaths, not monthly. Do you think you'll have the courage to admit when you are wrong? Will you?

It's only been a bit over a month since the first US COVID-19 death.
