New data on asymptomatic infections

from Stanford, using Santa Clara county, CA as the group. The actual pre print paper is definitely for the big brained, but the break down is spelled out in layman's terms.

Confirms what was suspected all along.

No more serious than any other common virus and a just a whole lot of

Is this where I say I told you so?

There will be more. Just saw that the Brits are doing a similar study.

The downside to this of course is, it's totally in the interest of China to make it look like it's no worse than the flu - and therefore the backlash won't be as severe. Some of our more wishy washy European friends will be saying oh well, it's not bad and it will be business as usual. The Dems will - after weeks of pointing the finger at Trump - will change their tune to how he brought economic calamity on us all, all for nothing. And the TDS people will totally forget their concern over social distancing and flattening the curve and we are all in this together - and scream at Trump.

Funny - because I just heard some schmuck on TV blaming the whole pandemic on Trump - and now he will spin on a dime and say the opposite - and no one will call him on it.

Schmucks on TV need to go die somewhere.

Oh he was the whole package - Trump ridicules the handicapped, he called all Mexicans rapists and he's responsible for the worst catastrophe the nation has ever seen in years. He was there to try and DEFEND Biden's latest assault on Trump voters - his best defense was, well, he didn't say that about ALL Trump voters. Way to go pal - you DO realize that you're talking about people you probably need to PERSUADE to change their vote.

I was seriously waiting for the Russian collusion and blackmailing Ukraine stuff, but since he was stumping for Biden, he might have been cautioned not to bring it up.

And about that IMHE model that has so many people out of work and burning through their savings:

Influential Covid-19 model uses flawed methods and shouldn't guide U.S. policies, critics say

A widely followed model for projecting #coronavirus deaths in the U.S. is producing results that have been bouncing up and down like an unpredictable fever.

Of course, everyone on the left has conveniently forgotten that Trump espoused the existence of asymptomatic carriers at the get-go. The press and TDSers laughed at the thought.

You can't produce enough evidence that would sway the media away from their daily death toll.

..and Trump was absolutely hammered by the left for saying that in the beginning....
