That is hilarious. I posted that definition and was bashed by FluBros for it not being like the Britannica definition which was less precise. The one I posted, and now you, is the correct version, however. I wonder what Exclamation Point Girl!!!! has to say about that, LOL.
Your claim that there are a horde of undiscovered cases is illogical. Asymptomatics can still be contagious and would be starting fires everywhere because 4 out of 5 would not be diagnosed before infecting many people, if they ever were. But that is not what’s happening. We see great outbreaks in large cities and isolated cases in most of the rest of the country. Now that the rats are fleeing NYC like they did Wuhan, expect to see a ton of cases all along the Eastern Seaboard. Thanks, FluBro in chief de Blasio!
And I have it from a long-time friend (55 years+) who is a doctor (45 years+) and is involved in the mitigation and containment effort that the proportions of asymptomatic/mild/serious/critical cases have been pretty solidly determined to be as previously described. You are simply wrong on the facts and letting your confirmation bias lead you astray.
We have a very thorough epidemiological case study called South Korea which thoroughly supports this distribution and the conclusions.
Stop making up imaginary friends that even you don’t want to play with.
