An article written by scientist presenting facts as known at this time allowing the reader to draw their own conclusions.
SARS-CoV-2 was detected in Barcelona sewage long before the declaration of the first COVID-19 case, indicating that the infection was present in the population before the first imported case was reported.
I am glad that you are now acknowledging that the coronavirus is dangerous rather than dismissing it as just being similar to the seasonal flu. Perhaps people in the USA can finally be convinced that it is serious enough to wear masks and to observe social distancing...
Finally, could you clarify precisely what bogyman you think that I may be holding on to?

COVID rarely kills children, even compared with influenza, against which many children are already vaccinated.
Our data show that for mortality COVID-19 is similar to flu, or less severe, in children whilst being the opposite in adults.

It’s a designed virus, design to target an ever growing elderly population that’s becoming more and more costly. Also the elderly of today live with traditions possessing an immediate threat to the global climate and they the elderly might pass on their destructive way of life to younger generations.windwalker wrote:COVID rarely kills children, even compared with influenza, against which many children are already vaccinated.

As for math, that still makes no sense to me to look at the death rate out of the total population as the denominator because the numerator is changing SO FAST. It's apples and oranges. If the flu and covid-19 both existed at stable rates for the past 10 years, it might make sense. Otherwise, how could this comparison of rates make ANY sense?
Maybe I'm missing something:
* death rate out of cases ... rates could maybe be compared reasonably
* death rate out of total population: makes NO SENSE to compare AT THIS TIME.
Somebody please tell if I'm missing something in that last bullet, but if not, I'd say to everyone here and everywhere else to avoid doing that comparison. It is possibly very misleading to make people think there isn't much danger based on bad assumptions/logic.
