Hospitalizations are key. I touch on it in the doc but think a lot more analysis needed there. NY data suggests on a per capita basis, 10-12X more people are hospitalized over 65 versus 18-44 (and 100X more versus <18) https://www1.nyc.gov/site/doh/covid/covid-19-data.page …
I am still waiting for real papers versus anecdotes on long term damage from COVID-19. I have not seen strong (any real?) studies so think the jury is out. The biggest anecdotal credible thing I have heard is a lot of micro clotting causing secondary issues.
What about potential heart, liver, and kidney damage? How about we acknowledge that a crapshoot is not a strategy. Increase testing...or don't reopen at all. It's been a month and a half and we are still flying blind.
I agree we need to reopen thoughtfully. Test/trace/isolate is key. I have not seen data on who impacted w 2ndary issues from COVID Eg, is it also concentrated above a certain age? Or in people with diabetes or other comorbidities? If so we need to protect the vulnerable.
This is the big question. Anekdotal stories exist. Austrians that recover (without a hospital visit) but with serious lung damage. Unknown ig its permanent. Percentages unknown. Therefore precautionary principle is best. Also, what unknown effect besides in lungs we miss so far?
