What specific numbers? Everything I've seen shows way more people have been exposed than though, a vast majority of them don't even generate anitbodies, and the overall fatality rates all across the board are dropping.
Just go to the beaches in Indiana and Florida and you'll see thousands of people out on the beaches, and it's been that way for a month and there's no spike in Fatalities (and please don't go on about cases. Those numbers include PCR, antibody and everyone who is getting test now for regular procedures at hospitals who are testing positive but have had no or minimal symptoms).
- ethbro 6y agoReposted from a previous comment, as answering the same thought: The danger of SARS-CoV-2, given the relatively low mortality (and based on genetic modeling of potential mutations), was never that it was going to crest with Ebola-like proportions (you get it, you die), but that it was going to crest with a magnitude that would overwhelm available medical resources. Unfortunately, that crest is a binary proposition: either you have spare medical capacity (and serious Covid-19 patients receive high-quality care) or you have none (and serious Covid-19 patients receive no treatment). So the danger is not death rates now. The danger is (effective reproductive number) -> (expected case count) -> (serious, hospitalized cases of Covid-19) -> (exhausted medical capacity) -> (Italy-esque spike in deaths).
