I think we should believe what the CDC says, yes?

Geez, I always "bought" what the FBI told me. Bunch of snakes.

we'd also need to know how many will catch SARS-CoV-2. The verdict is still out on that.

I could guess, like they do.
------------

The virus spreads rapidly with the average patient giving it to 5.7 others

That is what my nurse said too, just recently. He is caring for a Covid patient who lives with 10 other people. Bottom line: now they all have it.
The nurse looks like an astronaut. He has a huge, hard hat kind of thing with circular pads that clean the air he breathes. It's quite a contraption. But I touched something the other day, and I had to immediately wash my hands, he put hand sanitizer on my hands and wiped down every tool he had.

I am not doubting that covid-19 spreads quickly and to many people, but it is driving me crazy how no one really seems to know what is going on. They seem to change the rules daily.

From your links, yes, it seems like the previous pandemic was less dangerous.

I wouldn't have wanted that one, or this one, either.


If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.

Angie:

Re: "I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE. I REALLY DON'T. "Ask yourself: In the 1957/58 pandemic, did the United States lock itself down to prevent spread the way it is locked down today? If not, do you think it is reasonable for your source to make the two sound comparable?

Also, the Mortality Ratio is the likelihood of dying if a disease is contracted. Before comparing the 1957/58 pandmic's deaths to this one's, we'd also need to know how many will catch SARS-CoV-2. The verdict is still out on that. The virus spreads rapidly with the average patient giving it to 5.7 others.

Most flus do not spread rapidly, and the 1957/58 pandemic is no exception. Each person who caught it is thought to have given it to 1.07 others, making the disease just barely spreadable. (Below 1.0 and a disease dies out.)
