[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Iceland tested every one.  They found that [b]50% of Icelandic people have been infected. Majority of them are asymptomatic and healthy.[/b]  This is a very sparsely populated country that is naturally quarantined and social distanced, where the virus load on an average person is very low and so the individual immune system can fight it off easily.

On this model, we should assume that right now conservatively, 70% of all people in the US have it and everyone is capable of infecting others.   Quarantining, masks, washing hands - these are helping everyone to lower the virus load on their body, because some exposure is inevitable.

Next, we need more data to find out -
1) If we are immune once we get it - mild, severe, asymptomatic?
2) What is the impact of the viral load increasing in previously asymptomatic or symptomatic people? Do we relapse?[/quote]

How can this possibly be assumed when we don’t even get 70% positives testing sick people?[/quote]

I agree.  Without mass testing and then targeted quarantining, we are in a bad shape.  The next best thing is country wide lockdown.  For states that are not doing this (red southern states) other states should close the borders against them. [/quote]
