I bet a you our deaths are much less than reported. It's so easy to put covid on the death certificate . Colorado has already admitted that mistakes have been made.
Don't want to minimize death, but destroying a economy is wrong. Just f**king use common sense
Wouldn't the death of employee's and costumers destroy the economy?
Just wondering...?
I refuse to touch the political (it is an election year), looking at the hard data, if individuals use caution, the risks don't seem to be as great as the original fears.
NYC is the best sample group since they have had by far the most antibody testing or people who have had the virus. So the most recent data I have found from NYC is fairly dated at this point, but 24.7% of people tested positive for the antivirus as of April 27 (previously had the virus per the CDC's site on antibodies)
Here is a link to the report of the number of people tested:
https://www.livescience.com/covid-antibody-test-results-new-york-test.html
Googling NYC, the population of the city itself is around 8,399,000. So 8,399,000 x .247 = 2,047,000 who have had the virus there.
Moving on to the JohnsHopkins data as of today, 28,232 have died in NYC including the people assumed to have died of the virus but were never tested.

Back to the numbers, 28,232 deaths is 1.3791890571568% of 2,047,000 so much lower than originally feared now that we can test more widely. Please consider that the 24.7% of people tested there is a few weeks old and per Governor Cuomomo as of today they are conducting 20,000 tests daily in NYC:

Once that new data comes in the 1.379% mortality rate will come down even further. So it will still be worse than the flu, but again not as bad as originally feared.
Who should avoid the Niner's game in order to prevent becoming a potential statistic? Realistically it is the 'at risk' people as defined here by the CDC:
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/need-extra-precautions/people-at-higher-risk.html
The age-based data was available on the CDC website but it looks like they are screwing with it right now so the deaths specific to Covid19 are not posted at this time. I'll check back and update when they are.
Bottom line: If you don't have any pre-existing conditions and are in the under 60 crowd, that mortality rate goes down significantly.
