One ideology is found lacking in survival instincts lol.

The whole article doesnt cite a single absolute number of new cases, only percentage increases. Sure, if Bumfuck Missouri previously had 3 cases and now it's 35 cases, that's an increase of over 1000%, but it's still not as dramatic as NYC increasing from 80k to 85k cases.
Also, it always was expected that cases would pop up on the coasts first and then slowly inch forward into the interior of the country. The timeline is really nothing out of the ordinary.

This article is worthless clickbait.

Spanish antibody study points to 5% of population affected by coronavirus

Great, herd immunity soon™ ...........

just means that we have been successful in flattening the curve

originally I was thinking it would take 6 months to reach the ~70% population penetration that would needed to see the scope of the virus' impact. But after seeing how far we are after 2 months, I'm thinking it's going to be over a year. There might even be a vaccine beforehand.

2-3 years with yoyo-containment and millions deaths......... No idea how long doctors can keep up.

Counter measures being vaccine and treatment, that's what we need asap.

Fauci says that the death are being undercounting. The White House asks the CDC to change the count method so that the count will be even lower. The CDC says resists. https://thehill.com/changing-america/well-being/longevity/497602-trump-administration-pushing-cdc-to-change-how-it

I'm not trying argue that we have any method to accurately count the deaths. The important takeaway here is that it is in the best interest of a government to have the official statistics report as low a number as they can get away with. Keep that in mind whenever you think about official statistics. And also consider, in each country, how much control the government has over reporting methods in that country.

New study estimated 4.4℅ of French people to have been infected. ( 9-10℅ in the most infected area). ( Old study made in April was at 5.7. Spain's study at 5.)

Yeah, if those numbers are correct and THIS really is what it took in France/Spain/etc. to get to just 5%, we can forget about herd immunity.

Meanwhile, in Africa:

They could get the immunity and no "major" issue since they have a super low % of population who is more than 75 years old
It's just "night and day" in comparison with countries like Germany, Italy, or Poland.

However it could increase the odds to provoke a bad mutation.

To be honest the situation is extremely dangerous worldwide; a shadow power (Hail Hydra?) could to introduce a really dangerous virus in population for various reasons, and mutation could be involved instead.
