This came out 9 months ago.
The other interesting thing is the different covid strains detected. I think we are upto 4 now.
The variant in China wasn't as lethal as the variant in Italy. You saw the pattern when it came to the state. The east coast had a very high lethal rate while California / Oregan didn't. Things evened out over time. I always thought that pattern was interesting but never talked about.
- redis_mlc 6y ago> The east coast had a very high lethal rate while California / Oregan didn't. It's been talked about, and loosely assigned to: - people in NY being indoors more, with HVAC circulating virus droplets - entombing patients in ventilators for a month, killing them - SF and LA getting 50,000 airline passengers from China per week, thus contributing to herd immunity.
- hansthehorse 6y agoMy theory was that people who work in NYC commute via very crowded public transportation versus those on the west coast mostly driving alone to work. This gave a huge head start to the virus.
- redis_mlc 6y agoSure, but flu season in the US is usually the winter, when most people are indoors.
