Couple of doctorate degrees in medicine here and I’m still confused by the “data” that’s available. My suspicion is that the truth lies somewhere between the two extremes. Like the Corona that causes the common cold, this Corona (Covid 19) is definitely more contagious than the standard influenza virus.  There is strong genetic code evidence that the Covid 19 virus is a genetically engineered strain that was being researched for bio warfare - yes. Initially produced in a US level 4 lab but then stolen and transported to the WuHan lab by a visiting Chinese researcher. Believe me - I understand this sounds like off the wall conspiracy rhetoric but the info is there if you want to go look for it.

There are two very important differences between a standard flu transmission and Covid. A large portion of our US population is immune from the flu, either from prior infection or vaccination. Thus “herd immunity” already exists in the US for the flu virus which drastically slows its spread. Until this Covid virus spreads through our entire nation there is no natural “herd immunity” and no vaccine which is resulting in medical care over load.

With a high RO, only a fledgling herd immunity, and no definitive therapeutic “silver bullet medication”, it is a wait and see game to determine the infection’s mortality in our virgin population. Information from China is progressively being proven deceptive at the best. The data from Europe is likely more representative and the mortality numbers there are impressive.

This is a prefect storm for this administration - damned if you do and damned if you don’t and the only truth will lie in hindsight. This sounds pretty harsh but I think our economy is more important than our old people - I’m one of the old farts with comorbidity issues. I hope to see a decision made very soon to isolate/protect our at risk older folks and turn the younger folks loose to get the economy gears turning again ASAP.
