COVID19   FROM THE OTHER SIDE.   REALITY

From Sunny Couthern California  May Day  2020.   What are we thinking?   

Of the 56,000 known people who have tested positive for COVID in California there are 1/2 not in So Cal. 1/2 have recovered and are no longer carriers, (remember the number does include recovereds) and about 1/2 of that might not know they have the illness and the remainder are at home or in the hospital. Do the math. There are 26 million people in southern California. Let's see 14,000/ 26,000,000 Wow. 1 in 10,000 people you may bump into may have the Dreaded COVID19. You have a 20% chance of getting it from them if you live in close quarters like on the Teddy Roosevelt and the Princess cruise ship before quarantine over a 2 week period. 20% if you are swapping spit for two weeks. Then if you get it you have an 80% chance of not knowing it because there is no fever, no chills no nothing. the disease passes like Cooties did in 2nd grade. Wow. Now that is my kind of disease. Not many have it, it is kind of hard to get, and if you get it the chances are 80% you won't even be affected. i.e., nothing to worry about. the odds of running into someone at the beach and giving it to you are zero. We are being pulled around by big out of context and totally unscientific numbers. Here comes one now! 2,333,444,757,334,223,189,000 LOOK OUT! THAT WAS A BIG ONE. SCARED
