“Covid-19: four fifths of cases are asymptomatic, China figures indicate...”

IIRC the source of this is GP Jim Hoft and it is probably BS.

He is rolling the mild cases - mild meaning up but short of needing hospitalization - into the asymptomatic stat.

There are plenty of asymptomatics, but this is just one of those FluBro tactics to diminish the danger of the disease by pretending everybody has already had it.

We won’t know how many have already had it until testing is much more expansive and an antibody test is available.

Assuming immunity even lasts and is cross-strain.

Yes, seems so.

It looks like the game may have to be almost over before we learn how to actually catch a knuckleball.
