Because that is the definition of asymptomatic, having a disease but displaying no symptoms.

It's the definition of asymptomatic in moron land. The guy said it was one of the worst illnesses he's ever experienced in December, but because he wasn't symptomatic at the time of his antibody test (if he has one now and it confirms his suspicion), morons will call him asymptomatic.

No, NO! NOT FACTS!! This board hates facts!!! And now you add in math?!!!!

them facts are slippery suckers, and just when you think you caught a few, there countless others that slipped through your fingers.

Number of cases is not the important factor. Hospitalizations and mortality rate are. Most people getting it have mild symptoms or are asymptomatic. It’s a given that most of these never got tested because they thought they had a cold or flu. I bet the number of cases are astronomical yet you hear stories of hospitals putting people on furlough and beds and ventilators are at a surplus.

it’s likely 1/3rd of this country has already been infected with this virus by now, it’s been here since January maybe December 2019...based on that likely probability that would mean the real death rate is less than 1%.

Testing doesn’t matter at this point. it’s been 5-6 months, most have already caught it by now, and it only has a 2-3 week period of being in your body so if you’re not already in the hospital dying from it then you’re good.

No evidence that you become immune to it.
This is a tricky flu and has mutated at least 3 times, at least where I’m at in northern Ontario Canada

IMO, very foolish. I'm from Iowa and I have family members there. Just turn to any channel and see all the outbreaks in all the plants there. I know from family members that work there. Iowa has over 7,000 cases and I can tell you they're barely testing the population. The state has 3 million people. Florida has nearly 22 million. So, that's like Iowa having over 50,000 cases and nearly a 50% higher rate than Florida. Their rate of infection is moving to the top 5 in the nation. At 50,000 cases factoring Iowa's population to Florida's population of 22 million, Iowa would equal California's(49,840) who has a population of 40 million. I believe Iowa hasn't even hit its peak.

My sister said very few people took it serious. Very few were wearing masks just 2 weeks ago thinking it wasn't going to hit them as bad since they were fine while the Coasts were suffering. She wore a mask very early on as she has immune deficiencies. She's cussed out many a people for getting too close to her not social distancing.

With that said, I believe a lot of people are in this false sense that the outbreak is over because of some arbitrary date on the calendar. We still have very little testing and NO state has passed the President's guideline of 14 days of consecutive decreases. I fear things are going to get worse as we see people returning to normal activities herding together unprotected.

Just from what I've seen - none of our players are 70-85 years old, have diabetes with infections, are also very obese, with cardio-pulmonary blockage and weakend lungs.

So they'd not even know they had COVID-19. Besides, get some ACQ, Zinc, and Zpac - and even if someone came down with the sniffles - they'd be cleared up from that crap in 72 hours.

This is one, big fraud. 0.5% fatal - in other words - those old, sick folks already at death's door.

If there is one CFB player that is at elevated risk for C19 complications it's Navaughn Donaldson.

It is a virus in the corona family. According to cdc there about 7 types, covid-19 being one of those. So yes it will mutate and when you have immunity to one, another variety may come along, but how is that different to the flu there being around 29 varieties?

This will probably behave the same as other viruses.

Probably but no one really knows, right?

I personally want everything open and to get a football season.

If the NCAA really wanted it, test all the players, coach, supports staff whoever, two weeks before opening camp, and that that every other week and don't have people in the stands.

But they don't want to spend a dime on anything, even for health and safety.

if you want absolute assurances no one can give you that, not even the so-called experts who were estimating millions of deaths in the US. But even I saw, and some others, that while maybe more contagious this thing would be no worse in fatalities than a bad seasonal flu. Even the Hong Kong flu in 1968 killed 100,000 in the US. We did not see the same panic and hysteria then that we do now.

You're basing your argument on infection rate?

Infection rate is a useless metric.

What matters is the number of critical cases.

How many critical cases does Iowa have?

In 1968, one in every 2,000 people in the US DIED from the HK H3N2 flu. There was no vaccine. There was no lockdown.

You're still in panic mode after two months of data has proven that the mortality rate of the wuhanbatflu is 1/1000th of what the models projected?

I really hope you don't vote.

FACT: In 1968, when it was all said and done, 100,000 Americans died from H3N2 in total. A tragic number. As you said, with no vaccine, no lockdowns.

FACTS: So far, in just over a couple of months, 65,000 people have ALREADY DIED in the U.S. from Covid-19. So far. And many believe the real number is at least 10k higher. About another 2,000 +/- will die... TODAY. And that's WITH massive lockdowns, over 50 years of medical advancements, a flattening curve, virus studies, the world wide web, the proliferation of computers, the easy dissemination of information and 21st century lab work and communications.

With all the advancements illustrated above, how many people in America are STILL going to die from this by the end of the year? Ii is estimated that somewhere between 100k-400k (its wide because its hard to predict the fall wave - and there is a lot of guesswork still), which will be "low" because of the lockdowns, masks, mass production of retail and commercial disinfectant, and again, the LOCKDOWN.

How many WOULD die if we went apples to apples with the 1968 H3N2? With 1968 technology, and NO LOCKDOWNS, etc? In the millions. IN. THE. MILLIONS.

Comparing this to H3N2 is reckless and idiotic. Covid-19 is exponentially more fatal.

But thanks for the voting note.
