I hope it is true, because due to my autoimmune issues I don't do well with vaccines. In fact, it was a vaccine that led to my present state of poor health.Keep up the prayers out there. Let's hope this is true. Not a vaccine, but a treatment.

I have come to the conclusion they really aren't sure about anything anymore. The way it's phrased is it's "unlikely". They are phrasing it this way because they don't have enough studies to state one way or the other and is not the MAIN way it's spread, imo.

"The CDC notes that it may be possible for COVID-19 to spread in other ways, but these are not thought to be the main ways the virus spreads. This conclusion comes primarily from epidemiological data—tracking ways in which the majority of the people that were infected became infected."
Sorry...I know enough about viruses I am not trusting this yet.
One reason I think these statistical models have a problem is you are trying to quantify an unknown moving target. That is a darn near impossible task without any confidence in the results.
2. The thing is mutating.
3. There's a thing in statistics called a confidence interval. You essentially are setting your odds on being right like a horse race.
I suspect that the Doom and Gloom disasterous initial reports were set at a 5% confidence interval. That's like betting on a horse in a hundred and one you're just wasting your money. On the other hand I could set something up with 100% confidence interval. For example the sky is blue and the sun is coming up tomorrow. I know 100% I'm going to be right but I told you nothing. So setting that bar too high or too low are equally essentially useless.
4. But I will bet you that the Press ran with the Doom and Gloom worst case scenario. At a hundred to one odds just to sell rating points.
