While it is true that the number of deaths is leveling off and will hopefully come in well under the initial, horrifying projections it cannot be viewed in a vacuum. What I mean by that is there have been extraordinary measures taken by a majority of the country to suppress normal behaviors which have impacted these numbers in a good way. IMHO from what I can see this disease appears to be more contagious by far than the regular flu. It is also far more lethal to those that are in poor health. Diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease go undiagnosed for many people. Also obesity appears to be a factor. What we need is real time home testing to tell if you have had it, have it and data that identifies not just number of deaths but profiles of who has died... also many of these measures are in place to frankly protect us from ourselves. I know that my family and I have proceeded with trips, going to work and other activities while not feeling our best. It’s Human nature to push through. But you can’t with this. Too infectious and not enough info on who is at risk...
