Most do. Best guess at IFR right now is 0.15 - 0.2 percent.
Yes, it should be taken seriously, but a lot of people, including many in the media, speak of a positive COVID diagnosis as if it's late stage pancreatic cancer.

Well- I’m listening to HOL podcast but had TV on Sports Center muted. They seemed to have spent close to a full 30 min giving asymptomatic Saban 15 min uninterrupted interview time then follow up analysis segment. Must be nice to have a major sports network dedicated to your n*tsack.

Les Miles had it and he is old...Saban has it and he is old...Bowden had it and he is old...

Yet...they are all alive.

Maybe being an old CFB coach is like...an antedote?

Who’s best guess? Dr. Johnny Bananas or Dr. Person Fakename?

For that to be true we’d have to have between 100-136m Covid patients only this country that were undiagnosed which is of course pretty damn absurd.

Trump was right. Your attitude is important to beat it. Just as experts agree that a positive attitude and prayer is important in beating any illness. Where's the media bashing a positive attitude in beating cancer? They're all in on that. Just not if it benefits President Cheeto

This is very true. I just had Covid and mine was very mild. Granted I’m 39 and was in arguably the best shape of my life prior to March... but I had cough and congestion. That was it. I went on 3+ mile walks daily. Took my vitamins religiously. Ate healthy and “did my time” in quarantine. Positive attitude and not panicking and just keep moving are all very important.

My wife had it and it was relatively mild. Common cold was much worse. I was around her the entire time and have had three negative tests. We social distance and wear masks. It’s the strangest virus.

I guess if people like Ronaldo and Trump can survive with the perfect bodies they have I am sure Saban will be OK

Even if you're over 70 survival rate is like 95%. Now people under 40 it's like 99.95%. One thing to note is the people who die usually have lots of other co morbities like diabetes, obesity, copd, etc. With people in that poor of health, any illness has a chance of putting them down.

Nothing will ever satisfy the covidiots. They're miserable people so they love everyone else being miserable.

The CoronaBros are going to be disappointed when no player or coach gets hospitalized. Trump beat it in a few days and he's in lots of high risk categories.

Last I heard, 70,000 cases on college campuses with 3 hospitalizations and zero deaths.
No doubt there will be somebody who has some weird manifestation from the virus and they'll assume room temperature. With that many kids infected you would expect one at least. IF this were influenza we would have probably already had a handful of deaths. One other thing to realize is that with 70K known cases on college campuses there's probably 5X that many total people who have been infected and had no clue.

Ok. That’s good that you’re at least utilizing one solitary study to justify a “best guess” claim. It is of course by Dr. Ioannidis who has been trying to minimize the dangers of COVID 19 since March and is an ally of Scott Atlas who has been pushing for herd immunity. The study should be taken with a massive grain of salt until we see additional researchers coming to similar conclusions. That study is also global of course with significantly different dynamics in many locals and the US does have a more at risk population then many other nations.

.5-1% remains the consensus for IFR among the overwhelming majority of public health experrts. Just do the math from statistics we know and it’s painfully evident that as of now the IFR is not .15-.2% in the US. That may change with new therapeutics coming online but until that happens I think prevailing thought re: IFR amongst experts will continue to fall between .05-.1%. That would mean that between 13.6m and 34.2m Americans have had undocumented cases of COVID. That is of course still a lot but at least is reasonable.

Is a natty a requirement though? Someone infect Bill Snyder so we can find out.

Pretty good chance he'll be okay
7.6M in US have recovered - not counting the asymptomatic

How many big ten games will be canceled? Can we avoid it with the numbers on the rise?

The health experts say over 10x people who have tested positive have likely had it in the US.

WHO just estimated 750 million have had it world wide...

That IFR is probably high.

Exactly. Lord Fauci himself gave the 10X estimate of the number of cases in the U.S. There's a HUGE number of people with symptoms so mild that they think it's just allergies so they're not really asymptomatic but they don't get tested. That is actually likely the vast majority of Americans who get it. Then there's the roughly 50% of people who get no symptoms at all and are never diagnosed. Our ACTUAL CFR is probabaly under .1%.

The math and statistics does not consider the huge number of people who were either asymptomatic or so mildly affected that they didn't get tested. The CFR for this deal is vastly overstated.

Noteably present in that list are a couple of states with state wide mask mandates...... The Dakotas aren't too surprising. All of their colleges have full dorms and in person instruction. Bars are open as well. Both had huge tourism years and have kids back in schools and athletics going on. Most high school football stadiums I've seen on TV sports reports have been near capacity. The good news? LESS than 10% of their hospitalized patients are COVID patients and they're able to handle the case load just fine. I heard on the radio today that South Dakota is only at 80% occupancy in their hospitals so they weren't cancelling elective procedures.

I shop in Yankton South Dakota some and I see LOTS of older people in grocery stores etc pretty much going on with their lives. I told one old lady the other day that she must liked to gamble as she was in a store without a mask. She said, "if I get it, I get it. Don't care anymore." People are burned out by the whole deal and are just moving on with their lives.
