Regardless — as more testing is done, more cases are discovered & that increases the denominator which, in turn, reduces the CFR. Also, AFAIK, there is some random-sample testing being done (a large number isn't necessary) — the resulting data should provide a very good estimate of the number of cases that are being missed, due to the selective testing now being done. It's likely that the denominator will be increased substantially — and, therefore, the CFR reduced proportionately.
“Might as well be dead in a ditch in Arkansas.”
Better than enduring another Xlinton administration.
It would seem there are more than a few “doctors” who shouldn’t be. I have known more than a few.
Im’ recovering from Pancreatic Cancer (operation was successful and having follow-up Infusion/pills and soon radiation preventative treatments).
One of my oncologists said the other day “Congratulations, you’ve survived the first year”. That means with preventative treatments I should have another 4 good years before this type of cancer COULD develop again, possibly independent of the earlier one.
Well, I’ll be 80 by then so we should have a cure for this Coronavirus CODVID 19 by them. I like those odds. It’s the pesky cancer that could still be a real problem by then.
However, our medical people are doing miracle work every day inventing new medicines, adapting older ones to new situations/diseases, and making new equipment to help understand the structures of these disease critters.
They are the ones who deserve our praise for making America perhaps the best country in the world in which, if you are sick, you have the best personnel, equipment and medicines to help you get well.
I thank them all the time (been dead once. Fortunately I died in front of an emergency room doctor who was waiting for my son to deliver me to the hospital so he got to work immediately and brought me back from cardiac arrest.).
Let’s take some time to thank our police and medical responders. They are the true “miracle workers” but do it every day, usually unheralded.
Wow! Thanks for sharing that!
They’re dying because we aren’t using the known cure, HC
