Jude, I appreciate all the documentation you provided and managed to read some it it (it's a lot!). I have two questions for you that perhaps are answered in the documentation, but you may have ready answers.
From a cursory lookup, I found the "confirmed deaths" in New York City at 17,146 and the population at 8,300,000. Dividing 17146 by .002 gives 8,573,000, roughly 100% of the population. Do you think that 100% of New Yorkers contracted Covid? Are are there extenuating conditions?
The Sonoma County dashboard's "Cases by sort" says:
Source Percent
Close Contact 63%
Community 17%
Under Investigation 10%
Travel 9%
(I left out the raw numbers for ease in reading)
What do the 27% Community and Under Investigation (e.g., not known) cases represent in your thinking?
I'm not disagreeing with your information, just trying to understand. There are other points I would like to understand better in reconciling the idea that Covid is not much different than the annual flu, such as dead doctors and nurses in what seem to be large numbers than I never heard of with the flu, but if you wouldn't mind addressing the two questions above, I would be appreciative.
