They might be including asymptomatic and mild symptoms as “no symptoms”

The no symptoms # is well over 50%, probably 75-80%
That’s the main reason it can spread like wildfire.
Too early to say what death rate is and it varies based on different factors but does it really matter for appropriate response?
We know it is great enough to overwhelm hospital systems and we need to get rate of transmission below 1. That’s pretty much it.

Not really. I just had to go find the article I had already posted here. You said 50% and didn’t specify where. That sounded bogus and it was if you don’t specify where that is 50% at. We know that’s not the Us. We no that’s not worldwide. But your two buddies above me didnt. They took it as fact. Lmfao
It caught like wildfire because of the delay in being infected, not testing right away which is a prevention method, no symptoms and mild symptoms. Most people with a mild cold do not quarantine unless we are in a situation like this. 50% no symptoms at all isn’t realistic in the US unless you’re including mild symptoms as well.
Ive heard through people who know people who were infected. And I personally know someone who was infected. The one thing I did not hear was....”I have no symptoms. I don’t feel anything.” Nah. These people were actually legit sick. For days and days and days. Over a week. Fever, cough, body aches, chills, sore throat. I think after about 8-9 days of quarantining they started to feel a big difference in their health.
And then hearing Scarface say he was about to die(hes diabetic and has had health issues). Everything I’ve heard suggests no chance 75% have no symptoms. No chance at 50%. Could I see mild combined with no symptoms to get to 50%? Yeah. Absolutely. It’s probably somewhere around 25% no symptoms. 25% mild symptoms. And about 50% feel like they are actually sick with a fever, cough, body aches/chill.
That is very anecdotal/selection bias though. Pretty much all the #'s say the rate of asymptomatic infections is very high.
You probably know a lot of other people who had it and just had a light cough for like 4-5 days and didn't care, or some that just felt nothing whatsoever. Of course you're gonna know about the ones telling you how brutal it is.
I don’t know anybody else who had it. If I did I would mention it. Maybe the people I heard through were exaggerating a bit. But the person I know personally is a legit case and that person is 55+ and doesn’t smoke and isn’t obese.
So I can only imagine what it’s like for people who do smoke, obese, and are older
Is it fair to say we know most if not all that have died from it? In fact many who have died have been listed as dying from it just because they had it when in fact it may not even be why. What we don't know is how many have had it. So, the death rate seems meaningless.
Even more than that what is the 'death rate' for those under 40 say?
You have to calculate these things more than government numbers
It is not that simplistic
