“The record surge in coronavirus cases across the US is likely far worse, with an estimated eight infections unreported for every one infection counted, according to a government report — which would put the true tally closer to 100 million.”

Which means the death rate is about equal to the common cold.
You have been scammed with this China flu hoax.
 
Are all these patients in the hospitals fake?

What are some published "death rates" for the common cold?

Where do colds originate? We need to blame people.

No. But when the actual infections are so high and that's all that are in the hospitals or dying, then the virus is insanely overblown and not nearly as dangerous as they've been trying to claim.

Please rephrase.
 
I will note that, if this is true, at the current rate of confirmed infections, we're about 4 months away from herd immunity, and that's without a vaccine.
 
Yea the whole testing thing is just to make people feel good and placate employers. People in the medical and scientific communities have stated that you can test negative and have it. But many employers won't allow people to work unless they get the test. It is crazy. If it is to make that person lock themselves in their room for a week is that actually stopping the spread? What about the people they already interacted with? We just don't have enough contact racers to track down and contact every person an infected patient might come into contact with.

The only people who should be getting tested are the ones that are so sick that they are going to the hospital for care.

We are just going to have to ride this out with the virus killing off the obese, the sick and the old. Makes you realize how fragile our existence is.

You’re not trained in medicine, are you?

(That was rhetorical- no need to answer)
 
I see that Science and math are still a real challenge for some of our fellow Americans, funny how they are also the same ones that voted for the donald.

I’ll note that herd immunity is a myth and is only useful in the context of vaccination.

And how would the CDC know how many cases are missed? What BSers they are.

I don't know if it's a scam or a giant comedy of errors.

Any additional disease which limits the ability of medical care providers to offer medical care to those in need of it is dangerous.

Knowing the percentage of (asymptomatic) COVID-19 testing (e.g. less than 1% are tested) and the percentage of (asymptomatic) COVID-19 positive test results (among those few tested) allows that to be calculated.

And it means the death rate per case is even tinier than thought before.
 
It was a scam so the mail in ballot scam could be perpetuated.

Then pandemic defeated Trump, because they blamed it on him.

Covid-1884 isn't about your health, it's about the 'vaccine' which lets you die earlier.
Even if it would be proven the Corona virus doesn't exist governments will force you to the 'vaccine'
They must kill you, otherwise you can make them accountable for all heinous crimes commuted in the Name of Corona and already murdered millions victims.
The point of No Return is already passed.

If it was a mistake, they will never admit it. Way too embarrassing.

How do you figure? Are you suggesting that being infected by and recovering from the virus is less effective at conferring resistance to infection than a vaccine?
 
I know this may come as a surprise to you, but 266,000 is a lot bigger than 80,000, and that's the number we got WITH lockdowns and mask mandates.
Except your 266,000 number is propaganda, a lie.
