Anecdotal stuff I’ve seen here and elswhere:
People testing positive but with minimal symptoms often are not contacted again so many may not be counted as “recovered”.
Read one account of someone with symptoms but minimal DX as covid19 but not tested, although she repeated asked to be tested. Was she the only one or are there many more like her?
Deaths not tested but with symptoms counted as covid19 deaths, either Birx or on the CDC site.
From what I’ve read, any deaths testing positive for covid19 even if they also have flu, counted as covid (and of course other perhaps very serious co-morbidities).
My speculation - Demshevik governors/state health depts run by Dems could easily fundge numbers, goal of course to make Orange Man Bad lose support for election time.
