Coronavirus (COVID-19) is too exciting for adults to discuss (CLOSED)

Ferguson thus dropped his prediction from 500,000 dead to 20,000.

So everyone is locking down and now less people will die...isn’t that...what we want?

All I know is that if this was a bio-terrorist attack instead, the general population (not saying you in particular) would be doing everything gov asked and more with no questions attached. This doesn't happen as quickly though, so it's hard for people to take seriously until they see 10,000 dead overnight.

Fucking Americans, not doing everything the gov asked and shit.

a few days ago: "that epidemiologist was wrong; we can't trust him."

today: "that epidemiologist is right; we can trust him."

Yeah, because he admitted he was wrong!!

it's a false notion. virtually every single person on Earth has already been exposed to it.
they say 1 person infects three others, right? (1+3)^28 = 5,785,028,257,166.
THAT WAS ON DAY 28.

we're past day 90. 4.88161318^39. MORE PEOPLE THAN THERE ARE ATOMS IN THE ENTIRE SOLAR SYSTEM.

edit: fixed math.

Found out today that my next door neighbor had it in January while conventioning in Vegas. Taking no chances, I had to set their house on fire today.

What? I was conventioning in Vegas in Jan.

Imma dead now.

I may have been patient 0 for Vegas.

So, just so I understand your position, regarding the antibody test...virtually 100% of people should test positive then, right?

1st bolded part: A purposeful biological attack and a naturally (as we know so far) occuring virus aren't even in the same solar system.
2nd bolded part: There absolutely would still be question asked, depending on the government action.

I assume you had the flu before. If you don't currently have it, would you still test positive because you had it before and got over it?

In an antibody test? Yes you would.

i just did the math.

 

[lvbuckeye]

I may have been patient 0 for Vegas.

well, you're one of 3.5 million people that visited Vegas in January, so...

there's no such thing as patient zero. there's patient one, and all that follow. patient zero doesn't exist.

But you didn’t answer the question. Should ~100% of people test positive for exposure in an antibody test? Because there is a county in Colorado who is attempting to test everyone in the county right now.
