a rate that will decrease as more infected survivors are discovered with increased testing availability
one of the more interesting things that I saw recently was that new york states reported flu deaths dropped dramatically while reported corona deaths were going through the roof.
I dont necessarily put an onerous definition to that but you at least you have to wonder if the lack of adequate testing has led to a lot of assumptions as to the cause of death on patients.

WTF?
It's 5.68%

Science says it's time to ease the shutdowns.
In fact, science says the shutdowns don't work.

The shutdowns work for inhibiting the spread of the virus, as does 'social distancing'.
If we can figure out a way for everyone to socially distance and get back to work, great.
You haven't realized this yet, but we're going to be dealing with this for the next three or four years.

Amazing that you can say that and then claim the shutdowns work. Brainwashed by NPR and demwit talking heads.
Sad.

Nothing to do with NPR kid, and social-distancing does work.
But, it's like we cracked the engine on this sweet, sweet economy...
You want to put the engine back together, and we can do that...
(Damn newb, you forgot to change the water pump when you were doing the timing belt, time to take the engine apart again...)
Your path seems to be 'open it all back up, everything's fake'.
What's going to hurt more?
Opening and closing the economy repeatedly, or changing the water pump, as long as you're in there, and the engine is apart?

Herd immunity is the best path.
It's great watching you parrot the shifting liberal media narrative.

Herd immunity comes at a terrible price.

It's not clear that herd immunity is in the cards...
Maybe yes, maybe no, we just don't know.
The 'common cold' is a Corona virus.
We certainly don't have 'herd immunity' for the common cold.

The old and the weak don't run with the herd ... we shelter at home.
We'll come back when they have a vaccine or good therapeutics.

I'm ok with that as the new status quo. Keep you "olds" off the roads, decrease risks for everyone.

Judge me.
Everyone dies. The longer you live, the more likely it is that youll die. Thats just straight math dawg

The same price, possibly less.

They're still talking about reinfection. If that's the case, we are pretty screwed. Might just as well let natural selection run its course. I haven't looked at the evidence for that, but I was digging into the evidence for asymptomatic transmission.
The headlines say "studies" suggest, but they don't say the claim is based on case studies, which are barely more than anecdotal evidence. The one study (of which there were only two done according to the article) I read was pretty weak. The suspected carrier for a family cluster actually tested negative until everyone else started showing symptoms. They tested her again and she tested positive, but never developed symptoms. She was reportedly the only tie to the Wuhan area for that cluster.
Considering the source of the study, I'm skeptical. I'd like to see a better study done, and more clear numbers and explanations of how the transmission is supposed to occur.
