I’m not a mathematician, but I’d love to see the output of that equation but I think you’re right.
The probability of contracting CV over infinity, would be infinity, I don’t like those odds.

Well, unless the underlying health issues get you first.

On the plus side we will get to find out if herd immunity works and the human cost of achieving it.

There is no question it works, the only question is what will/would the cost be.

Hopefully they'll develop a vaccine first.

Probably 9-18 months for a vaccine

Shows cleaning is very important..

Correction: This story was updated to reflect that SARS-CoV-2 RNA, not live virus, was identified on surfaces in cruise ship cabins up to 17 days after cabins were vacated on the Diamond Princess.

Detection of viral RNA does not necessarily indicate the presence of infectious virus.
To me, the important bit was in the source report
https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/...cid=mm6912e3_w
Quote:
|
Among 3,711 Diamond Princess passengers and crew, 712 (19.2%) had positive test results for SARS-CoV-2 (Figure 1). Of these, 331 (46.5%) were asymptomatic at the time of testing. Among 381 symptomatic patients, 37 (9.7%) required intensive care, and nine (1.3%) died.
|
This shows it doesn’t matter if "you feel fine" - nearly 10% of the passengers on the Diamond Princess didn’t show symptoms at the time of testing, even though they were infected (thus able to infect others).

Wow, that is worrying. There will be lots of people with the virus who have no idea they have it.
