    We have a pretty good perspective

    If you're around someone who has the virus..you have a good chance of getting it.

    If you get it...it may be very mild...or it may be a mutherfer. There's an 20% chance that if you get it , it will put you in the hospital and from there about a 50-50 chance you'll end up in an ICU ward and maybe even on a vent.

    If you go on a vent there an 80% chance you never come off.

    How's that for perspective

    More good news from LA this week, confirms Stanford.

    FACT: COVID19 was far more prevalent in the U.S. pre lockdowns than estimated, and by a vast degree, mostly completely asymptomatic.

    FACT: COVID19, though it has nasty comorbidity with old age, obesity, diabetes, other cardiovascular preexisting conditions, is in FACT no more deadly than the annual flu, and almost certainly significantly less deadly.

    Let the LAWSUITS begin! This exaggerated MORAL PANIC is now OVER.

    We'd know a lot more about that...and where the virus IS...if we had more testing

    They're the ones who canceled pre-electives and told us to stay away unless it's a super important emergency. I think in the future you'll see family medicine have more tools and take over more responsibilities. I do think that if the prevalance is higher around the world, then eventually this will settle in and settle down and we might be closer to the end then the beginning.

    As a rule we have about 26 MILLION flu cases each year with about 14,000 deaths. We have had far more deaths from Covid-19.

    Random testing does little but waste cotton swabs. If a virus moves as quickly as this is touted, a test today may yield a different result tomorrow. Testing the entire country that give us all 350,000,000 negative results is conclusive until the next infected illegal enters this country

    nevermind, your updated your information. Thank you.

    It can be as high as 61,000 according to the CDC

    In the USA, COVID-19 so far is not as deadly as the regular seasonal flu.

    10x more people get the flu than Covid-19.

    Until this study is replicated or peer-reviewed, its worthless.

    The death toll from COVID-19 has been downgraded multiple times.
    It is nowhere near as deadly as the Left media wants you to believe.

    I was at a major, urban city Emergency room this past weekend. Guess what? it was EMPTY. I asked where all the COVID-19 cases were and the response was there have only been a few.

    Forget partisan studies that anyone can conjure up to fit their agendas.
    Why don't you try that if you dare. Go see for yourself. This whole thing has been a farce in terms of a Global crisis. It is just another Global warming hoax similar to the Russian Collusion hoax.

    Spanish Flu.....that was a real crisis.

    NM, not worth my time.

    There is nothing whatsoever wrong with the Stanford Study or the LA Study, and soon we will have many more.

    COVID19 is a flu-like illness that does almost no damage to the young and healthy, and excess damage to old and sick dying who are already at death's door. That's a fact regardless of what they said in your union newsletter.

    80k deaths last year from the flu and 35 million cases with a vaccine.

    You went from 14,000 to 36,000 it would help if we knew what "reports" you are looking at
