Of 320,000 tests performed, just ~~under 0.5%~~[exactly 0.47% on pg 9**³**] were positive for the virus at the peak of transmission there, he said — which suggests that only 1 case out of 200 was being missed. At that juncture the [official count of](https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/blob/master/csse_covid_19_data/csse_covid_19_daily_reports/01-30-2020.csv) cumulative, confirmed infection was `0.0084%` of Hubei’s population. Citing a statistic from Guangdong is **_`intentionally`_` misleading`** because the hospital system was most overwhelmed and thus unable to test everyone in Hubei. On the February 16 date of the WHO report**³**, Hubei had `44X` [more cases](https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/blob/master/csse_covid_19_data/csse_covid_19_daily_reports/02-16-2020.csv) and has half the population compared to Guangdong. The official disparity continued to rise to `50X` as [of March 6](https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/blob/master/csse_covid_19_data/csse_covid_19_daily_reports/03-06-2020.csv) increasing from `14X` at [the juncture](https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/blob/master/csse_covid_19_data/csse_covid_19_daily_reports/01-30-2020.csv) of the quoted `0.47%` statistic. From [anecdotal reports](https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-asia/reporters-notebook-life-and-death-in-a-wuhan-coronavirus-icu) and common sense, we know that the hospital system in Wuhan was refusing mild cases until at least [February 5 when](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Timeline_of_the_2019%E2%80%9320_coronavirus_outbreak_in_February_2020&oldid=944358615#5_February_2) the exhibition center began accepting patients. Presuming all of the mild and a third of the moderate (c.f. pg 12**³**) were refused testing at the juncture of the quoted statistic then perhaps actual infections were ~`1 ÷ 0.3 = 3.33` times officially reported. Thus ~`14X × 3.33 = 47X` and `47 × 3.33 = 16,327` cases which is roughly aligned with [“suspected cases”](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:2019%E2%80%9320_coronavirus_outbreak_data/China_medical_cases&oldid=944352091). As China opened massive new makeshift hospitals for mild cases, official reporting may or may not have improved statistically because the case load may have been increasing much slower in Guangdong due to quarantine of Hubei. And the percentage of very mild cases may be skewed by mild patients being refused testing and/or mild patients not bothering to go to the hospital given the presumed [high incidence of](http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=8566#comment-2353884) respiratory ailments in Wuhan (c.f. also SO₂ pollution satellite image below), difficulty of travel in the lockdown, fear of nosocomial infection, internment or overwhelmed hospitals. Also there’s the [false negative rate](https://www.bbc.com/news/health-51491763) as high [as 50–70%](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Timeline_of_the_2019%E2%80%9320_coronavirus_outbreak_in_February_2020&oldid=944358615#5_February) perhaps due to swabbing in the throat instead of the nose per research cited below? **`It seems plausible that China missed 80 - 90% of the infections.`** Thus estimated total infections in China as [of March 7](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:2019%E2%80%9320_coronavirus_outbreak_data/China_medical_cases) would be ~0.7 million. Actual case fatality rate (CFR) would be ~`0.5%` unless (as alleged from [anecdotal reports](https://symbolic-mirage.blogspot.com/2020/02/dispatches-from-wuhan.html)) China is—as [its historical practice](http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=8587#comment-2355967) suggests—also [underreporting deaths](https://mobile.twitter.com/evdefender/status/1223887384892313600).

Lower mortality for females is not converse to coronaviruses SARS and COVID-19 (nCov-19), so presume same posited differential causal epidemiology plus presumably more male soldiers so perhaps the 1918 influenza virus natural-selected for male mortality (and possibly for the mortality of the average age of the cohort soldier combined with vulnerable antibody-dependent enhancement sweet spot cohort in that demographic). Mortality overall was also enhanced (presumably for all cohorts) by the lack of antibiotics in 1918 and thus additional cases of death by opportunistic bacterial pneumonia: > In civilian life, natural selection favors a mild strain. Those who get very ill stay home, and those mildly ill continue with their lives, preferentially spreading the mild strain. In the trenches, natural selection was reversed.

Since mortality peaks at age 28 in 1918, it seems straightforward to suppose that exposure during development and/or very early in life to the 1889–90 strain led to more severe response to infection in 1918.

Our results differ from previously observed ADE of flaviviruses [e.g. dengue] where primary infections and secondary infections are caused by two different viral strains and where ADE-mediating mAbs are only sub-neutralizing or non-neutralizing for secondary viral infections […] RBD-specific neutralizing mAbs mediate ADE of coronavirus entry by functionally mimicking viral receptors […] Importantly, ADE occurs only at intermediate mAb dosages. Our study explains an earlier observation where ADE of dengue viruses only occurs at certain concentrations [i.e. titers] of mAb […] ADE of viruses depends on antibody dosages, tissue-specific expressions of viral and Fc receptors, and some intrinsic features of the antibody […] different tissue cells should be closely monitored for potential ADE at certain antibody dosages […] Future research using _in vivo_ systems is needed to further confirm these results […] the mechanism that we have identified for ADE of MERS-CoV _in vitro_ may account for the **`ADE observed `_`in vivo`_` for other coronaviruses such as SARS-CoV`** and feline coronavirus The above indicates that theoretically reinfection of the related or _same_ virus in some hosts (i.e. victims) with residual antibodies (from prior infection) of a certain types and titers, could cause the antibodies to mimic viral receptors and help the virus replicate in other types of cells than its normal pathway, such as for example other immune system cells, possibly causing an aberrant immune response in other tissues of the body such as for example blood vessels, nerve or neurological system. **`One could imagine any sort of strange outcomes such as encephalitis, Ebola-like hemorrhaging or sores all over the body.`** ## Potential for OAS-induced Cytokine Storm in nCov-19?

That’s anything but proven at this point, but the fact that both SARS and MERS are that way, and given the high degree of sequence homology between both of those and COVID-19 we’re just going to have to guess that a second exposure to COVID-19 is worth avoiding. > > So much so that I’ve made the personal decision that I’m not going to get it the first time around.

Hundreds could be confirmed by the end of the week. The implausibility of detecting and isolating patients that become highly contagious either in the incubation period or very soon after only mild flu-like symptom implies that without a vaccine, nCov-19 infection will be a pandemic that eventually (perhaps within one or two more winters) spreads to a majority of the population of the world — at least for arid or cold regions. Conversely, SARS was containable because patients were only contagious after nearly a week following initial symptoms and highly contagious only when experiencing detectable, distinguishable, deteriorating symptoms: [![](https://i.imgur.com/as8SVET.png)

Consensus document on the epidemiology of SARS: Infectious period](https://www.who.int/csr/sars/en/WHOconsensus.pdf#page=11) > Transmission efficiency appears to be greatest from severely ill patients or those experiencing rapid clinical deterioration, usually during the second week of illness. Data from Singapore (Figure 1) show that few secondary cases occur when symptomatic cases are isolated within 5 days of illness onset […] Maximum virus excretion from the respiratory tract occurs on about day 10 of illness and then declines. Which is the transposition or converse compared to the charts for nCov-19 infection in the first section (repeated below) wherein the maximum virus load is in the nose (**`for maximum, `_`early`_` aerosol transmissibility!`**) in the first few days after onset and then as nasal load declines towards the end of the first week, the load in the throat increased, and then both declining into the second week: [![](https://i.imgur.com/gCEgbuk.jpg)
SARS-CoV-2 Viral Load in Upper Respiratory Specimens of Infected Patients](https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2001737?query=featured_home) Note the above charts presumably aren’t as statistically significant as the data above compiled for the entire SARS epidemic. Yet combined with the significant other evidence I cited in the previous section, I’ll take it to be likely representative or proximate to the statistically significant reality. # Expected Timeline I [warned](https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@anonymint/bitcoin-to-usd80-000-before-may-2020-and-usd1-billion-by-december-2020) about a pandemic at the end of my **December 16**, 2019 blog. Research so far indicates the initial surge in human-to-human transmission in Wuhan began in mid-December, but first public news was December 31. The “don’t test, don’t tell” policy is congruent with what the “Allied Powers” did to cover-up the 1918 Spanish flu and ostensibly Trump has been trying to make it to end of flu season (warmer, less humid weather) without a panic hoping to avoid economic recession during his ([“it’s the economy, stupid”](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%27s_the_economy,_stupid)) reelection campaign. Officials know damn well that if they test all with symptoms and/or do probabilistic serology sampling that it will likely show 1000s, 10,000s or perhaps up to 100,000s of Americans already infected. Presuming the actual death rate (when all infected are accounted for) will be much lower, perhaps even less than 1%, then unlikely to have more than 10,000 deaths in the USA before end of the current flu season which typically peaks February–March, and tapers off in April. Being novel nCov-19 [might not](https://youtu.be/Wq33oZdQ-R4?t=160) tail off entirely in summer though: https://youtu.be/Wq33oZdQ-R4?t=160 Next flu season after the November presidential election is when [I have been expecting](https://steemit.com/apocalypse/@anonymint/q573ju) millions to be infected in the USA and confirmation via random serology sampling. And per [Armstrong’s model](https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/disease/the-disease-cycle-turned-up-next-peak-2022/) which [in 2016 predicted](https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/uncategorized/plague-cycle-moving-into-peak-2017-2020/) this pandemic, 2021/22 flu season is likely to be the peak with perhaps up to 40–80% of the population infected. Whether the case fatality rate (CFR) will remain low upon reinfections and vaccines remains to be seen, but that could be an ongoing dysfunctional immunopathology (think HIV → AIDS timeline) phenomenon perhaps over another 13 years (per Armstrong’s model)? @**Strelnikov** [wrote](http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=8587#comment-2357730): > Freakiest aspect to me is the spread of this disease tracks very closely to the spread o the Zombie disease in the novel [“World War Z”](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_Z#Social_commentary).
