With all the hype everyone is going to get tested even if their symptoms are mild.
uh
no
not going anywhere near any hospital or testing facility
why would those not sick do so?

test everyone? really?
if you have no symptoms and have no known exposure why would you risk such?
sounds ludicrous to me

Again, it's using the ***confirmed** infections. Even in China, there wasn't enough test kits and they weren't testing everyone, so it's really hard to know the true figure.
Korea did try to take a random sample and they came in under 1%.

All right this has gone on long enough .
I made a post last night complaining about how ill received good news is concerning Covid 19 .
I said I was going to do a thread using a doom article I don’t believe and could prove wrong .
*Note
This is that thread. 🦠 Phew, Phew, Phew. 🔫

That’s for 90,000 closed cases only
They’re still 109 thousand active cases . Of which 94% are mild and 6% are serious or critical .
You also need to factor in the fact that they’re only developing those percentages from confirmed cases . I haven’t seen a number for cases on reported that should be applied. But I think a very very conservative estimate would be 1/3 of the current total .
Nothing is accurate right now .
But every one of those factors is going to bring the CFR down .

when i looked a few days ago, and of course things have moved on a lot, in Italy there were 500 something deaths, and 500 something people recovered.
now is that not 50% mortality rate....?
admitedly lots of old folks, but those numbers were scary.
