Nice work but these numbers are bogus.

One example, my 32 year old son is running fever and has shortness of breath. He went in to get tested and tested negative for flu but would NOT test for CV19.

So until they start testing ALL ages who have the symptoms, this is all BS

Yes. Prayers for your son.

There is no way to tell actual numbers on coronavirus. Most people will not be able to get tested, nor will they go in for a test. I wouldn’t. I would only go in to a medical office or clinic if I couldn’t breathe or fever was super high. Same with most people. If I broke my leg I wouldn’t go in at this point. So most people with mild case or asymptomatic will stay home in bed and get better. No one will ever know they “would have” tested positive for coronavirus.

All “known cases” are the worst cases. Period. So they shouldn’t play ANY PART in stats at all. Maybe in S Korea where they tested so many. But here? Forget it. On;y the very sick or very rich even get tested.
