This doesn’t change the number and in fact is likely more accurate to show and how the virus works. But you get your underwear in a wad over this and ignore that in other states multiple positives are counted as novel cases every time there is a positive in the same person. And deaths are inflated by over 25% and presumptive deaths are also included.

Never mind that multiple states have revised death rates downward.

Get a grip. It’s over. You need to plan what you are going to do next in your life as fear mongering appears to be on the wane.

We need good daily new case numbers free of distortions in either direction for the public to judge for themselves how safe it is.

Is there a reasonable likelihood that SARS and MERS were effectively the same threat as COVID-19, but for those, antibody tests weren’t done to any useful extent?

In other words, none of these were ever as problematic as believed? Several months ago South Korea said the actual statistical death rate, including antibody testing across a sample population, was only 0.6% with moderate prevention in place. That seems to be what we are near today—not 7-10%.

I'm wondering if some number of actual flu cases/pneumonia aren't being racked up as supposed cases on COVID-19 inflating the actual death counts.
