Oh I remember when the Latino vote was supposed to hand Hillary the presidency, so she sat on her fat ass and sent Bernie to campaign on her behalf. The dem establishment love to win votes on demographics, identity politics and anything that doesn't involve real work or progressive policies. Not to mention, if this virus killed young people and spared the old, an article like this one would be insensitive and deserving of an outrage. 

I think nobody should sit on their hands and to expect an election to fall to them on their own. I shared this article, because I think it is interesting, not because I think we should spread SARS-2 to get Trump out of office.

Well she did win popular vote she was one of most hated and vilified among Republicans.  Didnt help the Bernie Bros didn't show up to vote.  I put blame on black vote though.

Blacks didn't show up for shit in 2016.  They either didn't vote or were suppressed by Republican efforts.  There is a reason why I can go early vote with any wait time then you look at election day and see lines in minority districts.  Republicans want to make it as difficult to vote for classes they gave up.  

Why do think Republicans are afraid of voting by mail.  It isn't fraud.  They are worried they'll be voted out of office.

Actually I really blame the electoral college.  The electoral college can go fuck itself.  If states distributed the votes proportionally then it would be fine. 

Electoral college + winner takes all = we are all screwed

Coronavirus won't change the final outcome: we'll all die.
Except Keith Richards, Elvis and Queen Elizabeth II, obviously.
Macca and and Macaulay Culkin OTOH will die again.

Guys you all missed an importart part of the New york state antibody test, this is what they used (LgG):

"Antibodies develop when the immune system responds to a germ, usually a virus or a bacterium. With otherdiseases, IgG is one type of antibody that usually develops 3-4 weeks after infection with the germ and lasts for a long time."

https://coronavirus.health.ny.gov/system/files/documents/2020/04/updated-13102-nysdoh-wadsworth-centers-assay-for-sars-cov-2-igg.pdf

Basically they were testing how many people were infected about a month ago as it takes 3-4 weeks before this test can see the antibodies appear, the 13.8% could be far higher. So you can't do a fatality rate for it just yet but Cuomu said 0.5% but that doesn't include people who died in their homes. We just haft to w8 if there's an upward trend in the next antibody test they do.

Anyway this week our health agency in Sweden released a interesting number, they believe there is 75x more people who had the virus than confirmed cases, if we do todays numbers, 18177 confirmed cases and 2192 dead. We get 0.16% fatality rate and 1363 275 has had the virus in sweden as for today.

That makes the outcome even less possible. If there should have been 2.7 million infected on March 25th, then with the fastest observed doubling rate of 4.6 days to double, there should have been infected people walking around before Christmas in NY. Thus the first deaths would have happened early Januari and the virus could spread problem free, at the fastest possible rate, until March 25th.

Very bad news

The World Health Organization (WHO) said on Saturday that there was currently "no evidence" that people who have recovered from COVID-19 and have antibodies are protected from a second coronavirus infection.

If that's the case what's the point of looking for a vaccine then? Vaccines' only point is to generate antibodies similar to the ones you get after an actual infection.

Thanks for your contributions. May I ask do you where the graph below was taken from? I couldn't find the website mentioned.

If this fact stays true indefinitely, then the only thing we can do is eradicate the virus permanently, which will require a better response than we have been doing so far, no going back to normal for a very long time, God I hope that's not the case
