Researchers are scrambling to understand the how widespread and how deadly the novel pathogen is, despite the disease being declared a pandemic months ago. Professor Jay Bhattacharya wrote an article last month questioning whether health authorities are over-estimating COVID-19’s mortality rate. He told Sky News governments will be able to make better policy decisions if they knew how truly dangerous the disease is.
“What I anticipate is that the disease is probably more widespread than we think, that is many-many people have had it with very limited symptoms,” he said. “Well that means the death toll of the virus is by orders of magnitude lower than we think, nowhere near the three per cent WHO originally said. “Much lower, maybe more in line with the deathrate from the flu.
Sounds as if Dr. Jay Bhattacharya is willing to sacrifice Black, Brown, & Native Americans to prove his hypothesis, when it’s clear POC communities are suffering extreme death rates. I hope GavinNewsom seeks out other academics/scientists that care about all California people.
It's an almost impossible call for any government. Whatever our politicians do they are wrong. They need support also.
President Bush had idea what to do back in 2005
Imagine the ABC crowd watching Jay Bhattacharya They'd be triggered by his factual points...but at the same time...be all gushy that he's an intelligent minority professor Triggered Gushy (put that in the Urban Dictionary)
In New Zealand they are doing fine. Why in the US?
Those who don't think it's serious, should volunteer to be infected then. It will help with herd immunity and, most importantly, natural selection. If 60% of world population gets it and 3% die, that's 140 000 000 people dead, at the low estimate.
This is so unfortunate and unacceptable
Anything that says WHO
The data showing this is no worse than any other bad flu season has been there from the beginning. The doomsday MODELS have proven totally wrong day after day. Time for the country to get back to work.
