So, if you take the lower end of their estimate (30 times the number of cases) - the rate of fatality is .14% (1/10th of 1 percent) and the rate of hospitalization is .84% (8/10th of 1%). And that includes all the vulnerable. If we tell the vulnerable to be more cautious we don't have the big bad boogie man the media and certain officials are making this out to be.
I don't know about your areas, but people are definitely taking this less seriously than they did a few weeks ago. I know several people going to see their hair dresser or even having their parents over to their house. Life is for living not hiding under their bed. Yes it can be risky, but life is not without risks.
That LA study, just like the Stanford study, had sampling bias. Contrary to what is being advertised, neither was a random sampling representative of the general population if you spend some time to look into how the participants were actually recruited.
Plus, they were both using unapproved rapid version test kits.
