What’s worse, an unusually weak virus that spreads quickly, or a more deadly virus that spreads slowly? Death count could end up the same, but only one spares children. Could China’s “success” be partly because so many already have it undetected? Would they know? #coronavirus

I also don't think the test kits they were using were necessarily all that accurate.https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2020-03-13/china-japan-korea-coronavirus-reinfection-test-positive …

Is there a possibility of a pseudo-vaccine: where someone gets a small dose of virus and has milder symptoms?

"Is there a possibility of a pseudo-vaccine: where someone gets a small dose of virus and has milder symptoms?" Too risky and unprecise, I would guess. Dangerous or it might also be just not infecting at all. All we know: Huge amount of viruses = BAD

There’s a “rule” in nature that viruses that kill their hosts don’t last (unless they are highly transmittal) relatively long. Smallpox has high mortality but it’s been around for centuries. HIV got less and less fatal the further away from patient zero. Hopefully same for covid.

They also went to extreme measures that would not happen in the west. Locking up while buildings, fumigation en masse, etc. More variables than here.

This can be done in the west - This is actually less extreme than what is done in Europe now:https://time.com/5802293/coronavirus-covid19-singapore-hong-kong-taiwan/ …

Scott. I heard your podcast today. Our country has had mobile MRI&CT machines for years. They get moved around in tractor trailers to places who don’t have enough business to warrant them full time.There may be smaller CT ones I’ve read about now

Do we know their testing capabilities toward the end of the epidemic? It was restricted to 2000 per day at the height of transmission.

Did China and S Korea have tons of kits ready to go or were they in same situation we are in?
