I mean, people are not doing a good enough job in a lot of places to bring R down from 2.5-3ish to below 1 (which would require preventing 60-67% of infections), but we've clearly reduced R considerably. The flu only has R0=1.2-1.3ish, so reducing infections by even 25% or so would stop exponential growth for the flu but not covid.I would think there is probably a lot of simultaneous cases. I think they said what at the begining that it was like what 25-30% of them both present at the same time right? I wonder if we are just missing a ton of flu cases because we are testing for covid off the bat and then being satisfied with that positive result instead of further testing for the flu. That isn't a reduction in flu. It's basically a non-existence. --- Xbox Live User Name - Corrik Currently playing: Spider-Man (PS4), Quantum Break (X1) ... Copied to Clipboard! |
