Another study confirms that many more people than what gov officials tought already had Corona which means the hospital/ICU/death rates are much lower than feared. Shutdown policies were based on those now-corrected fears but there is still no ease up on lockdowns. Stunning.
Until now gov officials thought we are not hitting dark predictions on hospital/ICUs because mitigation keeps the spread low. Turns out the spread is way higher than thought but there is no high ICU reach because the ICU rate is a fraction than thought. So open up, idiots.
For example here in NY, Cuomo shut us down thinking that 1 million cases will lead to an Apex of 30K - 40K ICUs.
Turns out that at Apex NY had at least 1.6 million cases but only 5,100 in the ICUs.
That’s an ICU rate of 0.31% instead of a 3% - 4%
Lockdown going strong.

NY has 16,599 deaths from among 282,143 lab tested cases. CFR/Death Rate of 5.88%
Per the antibodies tests (and the one of pregnant women), NY already had/has + 3 million cases. That’s a 0.55% death rate.
In English, CoronaVirus is 91% less deadly in NY than thought.

15.2% of pregnant women 2 weeks ago were infected. Antibodies tests days ago shows 21.2% NYC are already immune.
Count 18.2% (midpoint of above two tests) had it. That’s 1.77 mill.

Per a CNN fact check, the CDC sent out only 1 million tests over FIVE months for the Swine Flu. Point is they didn’t test 180 million Americans to conclude that 60 million had the Swine Flu. It’s a guesstimate. When are we getting this for the US (and know the real death rate)? 
I am not sure why months into this outbreak, most officials count Hospital/ICU/Death rates only relative to lab-confirmed cases. CDC never has all cases lab-confirmed. It’s guesstimates. When are we getting it on Corona; especially that there are antibodies tests avail?
“National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci said the U.S. now churns through about 1.5 million to 2 million tests a week.” - Politico
Fauci said we need to double this before opening. During Swine, the US had a fraction of this at this point.

Fauci says adequate testing should “get those who R infected out of society so that they don’t infect others.” Um, this means testing all of America. He suggests the lockdown go on until the US can test 3-4 million a week. Hmmm. That means 93 (!) weeks until you get to everyone.
