In Canada i expect that's what the very great vast majority of people will continue doing, as they have been doing for weeks already (except for "essentials" like food, medicine, etc)?
Nonessential businesses remain closed, though there are plans in some places to begin allowing - some - to reopen in a very safe manner beginning in early May. Other provinces may take longer to start the ball rolling.
Personally i have no intentions of visiting non essential businesses even after they open, at least potentially crowded places like theaters, restaurants, hockey arenas. Though I expect places like shopping malls in Canada will be relatively empty even after they reopen for business for some time, that is relative to pre C-19 times.
Yeah but
1. The antibody rates going to be way lower than NY, probably from anywhere from 1-5% elsewhere.
2. The death rates should be lower throughout the country as the at risk population quarantines/social distancing/masks/etc
Can't really just take the NY study and extrapolate it like that
But if .8% of people that get it are dying there, the rate elsewhere isn't gonna be .002%. It'll be lower but still much higher than flu. And we don't drastically change behavior with the flu, we just let it run through the population so isn't really comparing apples to apples.
Yeah, if CA is 3-6%, a lot of places going to be 1%.
IFR is a good metric to get a ballpark gauge of how deadly the disease is but obviously it depends who is getting it and who isn't to produce the final number.
In other states, they should be able to keep the at risk population infection rates a lot lower than NY. But you can't ignore 25-30k dead off 3M infections either. That's what it can do if allowed to run through a population. That isn't the flu.

I suppose people who write books, authors, could still be working at their job during a 1,2,3 month or 365 day incarceration at home. Others also.
But, getting back to the question, supposing everyone had 1,2, or 3 months of rations to survive that long indoors:
1) how many would be C-19 infected after 1,2 or 3 months of everyone simultaneously staying indoors &
2) how many of those would be infected after they came outside to play, work or whatever, after an additional month.
Is the correct answer to both questions: probably very few or none?
Is the wrong answer: "Staying in will not make it go away,"?
Yeah, it's more deadly - before this whole thing I didn't even know people died from the flu - I've had flu numerous times and not once did death cross my mind - if I tested positive for Corona I could feel fine but impending death might be my only thought
I'm getting an antibody test done next week - I haven't had blood work done in several years so figured this is probably a good time to get a CBC and lipid profile - so for $160 I threw the Covid in too
