In fairness to everyone on both sides of the argument - there is simply not enough data to form conclusions because of the unknowns. Until we test a huge representative sample of people regionally we will not be able to make such sweeping conclusions given that upwards of 80% of people are asymptomatic and are unlikely to be tested.

We will also NOT be able to use one set of data nationwide. The regional fluctuation means that numbers in NYC for example will not fit Fargo, ND, or Seattle will not fit the rest of Washington state.

This is my frustration with the doom doctors at the daily briefings. They are grasping at every bit of data, but what does it really tell us without sufficient testing? They are spitting out the only numbers they have, but they are not sufficient in my opinion to make long term projections.

“... upwards of 80% of people are asymptomatic...”

Isn’t that as you said a “sweeping comment”?

Exactly.

"Experts" who claim such knowledge and ignorant fools who claim such knowledge are both part of the problem and not part of the solution.
