Here’s why the true infection rate in a region matters: the bigger it is, the less pain still lies ahead. Eventually, when enough people are immune—maybe half to three-quarters of us—the virus won’t be able to spread further, a concept … Continue reading →

Eventually we will understand just how deadly this Wuhan virus is, compared to a deadly flu such as H1N1. We certainly cannot ignore the threat — but we do not need to destroy our societies and civilization over a threat … Continue reading →

Biobot Analytics, an MIT-associated laboratory, says that the total infection count for Massachussetts may be orders of magnitude higher than the number being released to the public. Just one section of Massachusetts could have more than 100,000 coronavirus cases — … Continue reading →

At some point, the country is going to have to redouble the protective segregation of the immune-challenged population and everyone else will have to take their chances with the coronavirus to some extent. On what we have seen, the survival … Continue reading →

Most Cases Are Too Mild to be Detected [Researchers] concluded that on average about 6 per cent of cases were detected in the 40 countries studied, and the only way to prevent a renewed outbreak of Covid-19, the disease caused … Continue reading →
