    Can you name anyone who didn't know that the fatality rate would decline with more testing?

    14% or 20%? Regardless, not even one-third of the way to herd immunity.



    20% is exactly 1/3 of the way toward herd immunity.

    That's incorrect. But regardless, do your part and catch the damn thing.
    It’s actually not incorrect, according to the former dean of microbiology at a fairly well-respected college, who happens to be sitting next to me.

    It hit here first. Direct from Wuhan. I’d like to see King County’s IR rate, with regard to antigen testing. I bet we are well above 21%, even with the drastic shelter in place orders from Governor Cunt Face.

    UW just started testing this week. I assume we'll get results soon.
    I’m aware. I started the thread on it.

    Lowest figure I've seen is 62%. Highest is about 70%.

    If we are to believe what they tell us, that the R0 is high and that shelter in place is effective, then it must be widespread.

    The fact that the virus isn’t nearly as deadly nor warrants 30% unemployment pisses off HHusky.

    We can't all find the pandemic as funny as you do, Mike.
    No one can lie as you do.

    That will depend on a variety of factors, 60% is typically the benchmark.
