President Trump — “If we stopped testing right now, we’d have very few cases, if any.”

That suggests people are not going to the hospital and therefore must have mild cases not requiring hospitalization. I presume people get tested because they are feeling ill.

“Trump reinforced the message at the roundtable, saying, “If we stopped testing right now, we’d have very few cases, if any.” “

No, we would have just as many cases, we just wouldn’t know who they are.

What about the 36K that each Hospital receives per positive test? This perverse Incentive alone ensures some hospitals will pursue self interest and declare everything a positive!

This increase in testing is going on in basically every county in California.

The news paper articles are playing up the increase in people with the virus versus the decrease in % of people with the disease as shown by the CDC chart below:

Whatever.

It’s very contagious. Just assume that most of us had it, have it, or soon will have it.

The fatality rate is about .25%...mostly end of life patients.
