Hello Ron,
>RF>I suspect we are getting there. Lots of Spanish politicians are getting
>RF>it. I suspect that the reason why we know it is because politicians are
>RF>taking the test, and everybody else isn't.
>
>Most of us are going to get it over time.
About 80% will get infected within the first 3 years.
The other 20% will also get infected, but later.
Unless a vaccine is found and administered before then.
In combination with limited immunity (herd immunity).
>The good news is that the majority of us won't get very sick and will
> naturally get better.
Everybody who catches the virus is weakened to some extent.
Some even die.
>The better news is that once that happens, herd immunity kicks in and
> naturally controls it.
Getting the virus (and surviving) does not guarantee any kind
of immunity. An infected person who survives can get re-infected.
Natural immunity is a weakened immunity, not a vaccine. Only some
of whom were infected will get a natural immunity. Once enough
infected people (survivors) have gained a natural immunity then
there is a herd immunity within that geographic area, enough so
that the virus is unable to spread further in that area.
Natural immunity is not a vaccine, but rather a weakened immunity
that loses its effectiveness over time. That is why both herd immunity
and a vaccine are needed in order to overcome the threat this virus
poses.
>The bad news is that many people will need the drugs and some will die. But
> that's flu season with slightly different numbers.
This is not the flu. There are no drugs that work. There is
no vaccine. The coronavirus is highly contagious, much more so
that the seasonal flu.
>And for those Leftie fear mongers:
>According to the news last night (so going by YOUR Leftie media numbers),
> the mortality rate is 1.42% in the U.S.
The death rate in Italy is over 10%.
The death rate in the USA (as of today) is higher than
what it is in Italy.
Want some numbers?
The number of cases in Italy is 2000 cases per million,
with a death rate of over 10%. Italy has a total population
of 60 million people. Do the math.
The number of cases in the USA is now 2000 cases per million,
with a death rate of over 10%. The USA has a total population
of 330 million people. Do the math.
Numbers per day -
681,000 cases per day at 10% death rate for USA = ???
That is the number the USA will reach as calculated for April 12.
The day The Orange One wants everybody to return to work.
>We are grossly underreporting cases - partly because lack of testing, mostly

> Far less than the WHO's number of 4%.
I have no earthly clue as to where, or how, you are coming up
with the numbers you just wrote. Maybe you are making it all up,
as The Orange One has a habit of doing. Which probably explains
why both NBC and CNN have tuned him out whenever he gives a press
conference.
>RF>What worries me is what authorities will try to sacrifice trying to
>RF>contain the virus.
>
>Yes, that's my worry as well.
China was unable to contain the virus, even with help from the
rest of the world. Now it is everywhere, except (presumably)
Antarctica. But since most people are not equipped to live in
ice, the survivors of this virus (if any) will be very few.
>The longer this economic shutdown continues, the more small businesses that
> will not come back.
Businesses, both small and large, cannot exist without people.
