I think the death rate in that age bracket is "only" 15%.The way the RW conspiracy angle goes is this: You had a covid-19 test, you came out negative. Meaning the percentage infected ratio is lower, a good metric in my GOP state to rationalize "reopening" what wasn't even closed. Here, even though we have about 200-300% more cases per day than we did before reopening, this is "good news" because there's more testing per day (even though they have to ship hospital paitents 90 miles away since room ran out). Don't worry, they'll get reelected. The GOP is so angry they're going after the republican governor who dared to do a safe at home order and signed a contract tracing contract with apple/google. This is sacriledge for the party. But the more important aspect and rationalization. 1000 people are positive in the tests, these are those with symptoms most likely. 10,000 people show antibodies. They, therefore, did not know they had covid-19 and are asymptomatic. Or you have a 10% chance of showing symptoms, which is now obviously wrong. There is no room for your situation in peoples minds, even though you are living proof that the talking points are flat out wrong! BH we have all good outcomes this far on the board. |
