You answered it yourself here.
[quote=sdduuuude]I also read an article today that said there are 1200 COVID-19 test kits for all of San Diego.

We were lucky this thing started half the world away. China’s locking down wuhan and nearby provinces also helped slowing down the spread to other areas (including the US). Why are we still woefully lack of the test kits 3 months after the outbreak in China?
And perhaps we have such a low rate for the coronavirus has a lot to do with that’s because we’re not doing the tests?
[quote=sdduuuude]
The measured death rate is 3% or so. CDC or WHO estimated the actual rate under 1%. Could be much, much lower, in reality.
I put those together and it sounds like just another flu to me.

1% is widely cited as the death rate for the corona virus vs .1% for the flu. The contagiousness of the coronavirus is 2-3 vs 1.3 for the flu. Taking those together we’re looking at, using 2018’s # for flu cases in the U.S.:
flu:45 million sick, 61K deaths
corona (projected): 70-100 million sick, 700K – 1 million deaths
Those are staggering numbers.[/quote][/quote]Darwin suck. Spd must be loving this. This is population reduction he has been wishing for. It’s also helping with climate change as well. Smog is decreasing in Italy and China.
