Projections and simulations (by experts) are exactly that. This one may be a little hard for some people, but it looks at death rates from Wuhan. https://www.statnews.com/2020/03/16/lower-coronavirus-death-rate-estimates/ Again, show me the link and facts about 35,000 projected deaths in the USA over the duration of this pandemic.

Gurn Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 13 minutes ago, coastal.view said: again i am advocating people take responsibility for responding to people who appear to not be taking this crisis seriously in real life and online we cannot leave it to our leaders in real life we cannot leave it to the mods on here to deal with every detail that we encounter we are the ones who have to deal with this crisis 2, 3, 10 heads are better then 1 we are all in this together He made an "appeal to authority' by claiming the people that made the estimate of 35,000 people "These projections are by people who do it for a living. " Then provided a story with multiple estimates, done by an investment banker. Which is just about as good as asking a carpenter or cook as they work with numbers too.

Follow one of the links that @samurai provided and you get to the actual paper (not the opinion piece) conducted by a group of authors affiliated with WHO, Harvard, etc. Sounds good. These authors state: Quote Even under more realistic assumptions about mixing informed by observed clustering of infections within households and the increasingly apparent role of superspreading events (for example, the Diamond Princess cruise ship, Chinese prisons and the church in Daegu, South Korea)5,6, at least one-quarter to one-half of the population will very likely become infected, absent drastic control measures or a vaccine. Therefore, the number of severe outcomes or deaths in the population is most strongly dependent on how ill an infected person is likely to become, and this question should be the focus of attention. The authors also note that the death rate is lower than anticipated in ONE area, Wuhan, China. However, the death rate is still 1.4%, which is 14x higher than the common flu. If 25% of the United States experiences infection, then approximately 80 million people will become infected. At a death rate of 1.4%, that amounts to over 800,000 deceased. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0822-7.pdf Edited March 24, 2020 by Down by the River 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do not yet know if this virus stays with us or if we can build immunity like we can with others, if our lungs have long term damage, if it will mutate and get even worse, etc etc. Yet, @samurai continues to downplay everything like the world is overreacting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just before your roommate goes out to a party, you start wheezing and coughing and say you think you might be coming down with someting. See if he comes back home. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is so sad, and very worrisome. Dental offices are the highest risk professions for transmission due to all the aerosols in a dental practice. It can make the virus airborne and for a long time. Although proper infection control should be practiced, many offices are complacent. A lot of dentists and hygienists go to the PDC, so to know that many contracted it and then went back to their practices for a few weeks without knowing is very scary.
