Reply #32: And you'd lose.

The ongoing stats are going to look much, much lower. For one thing, those are just the people who died in the hospital. Those aren't from people dying who die in their homes. Medical examiners haven't reported to the CDC yet and the death rates that they are seeing, and what from. There's no word from the CDC on what's happening in places like nursing homes, those haven't even been reported to the CDC.

You notice the CDC doesn't give anything near an exact number of total cases. In my city, they have districts closing down because a third of the students and teachers are out and another third were showing symptoms. And remember, the flu season normally starts at the beginning of October. Already this is at the January-February level.

At most, we're going to get some indication of how bad this is. Look at your local school closings. We're going to get only the most sketchy numbers as to the cases and the number of deaths.

I'm lucky. I got the damn thing in early September. It was mild-to-moderate for me.
