I simply do not and will not believe any of the numbers regarding this scam/sham which has been foisted on us and the rest of the world.
Unless and until EVERY American is tested for antibodies we cannot know who has had this virus and without that knowledge we cannot know the death rate or the recovery rate.
We have gone from a projected death rate of 3.4% to now at .3 and some “experts” believe it will end up being no worse than the average flu. We KNOW those most in danger and have for some time known and it is only those most in danger which should have been warned to stay in for their own safety.
We’ve been had, Dr and I’m amazed, truly amazed you have not yet seen this.
ExDemMom's own data shows she is not a follower of any scientific method. When the data shows the projections were BS, she tries to twist/thread her theory to the data, with nothing but her pre-drawn conclusion to support, and use the excuse that the un-modeled 'lockdown' saved us all. Couldn't possibly be that the models were all wrong to begin with.
Additionally we will see an increase in cancer, heart disease, and suicide deaths as a result of the focus on CV19 and a lack of care for other ailments.
The only thing antibody testing will tell you is how many people have had a coronavirus infection this year. It won't tell you which coronavirus they have had, because the antibodies can't tell the difference. Coronaviruses are responsible for about 1/3 of all colds.
I know that the narrative that Covid-19 spread impossibly fast but most people never had symptoms is popular, but it is not scientific, nor is it a desirable situation. Studies of people who have been tested for actual virus have shown that about 3/4 of those who initially have no symptoms develop them later. And also that about 8% initially test positive without symptoms. These are numbers I want to explore more fully, since this narrative is dangerous for a number of reasons.
Let's imagine that Covid-19 is somehow spreading yet not causing symptoms. That means that you cannot ever assume that anyone you meet is safe to approach. There is nothing to tell you they are sick, and no way to protect yourself. And no way to know if you'll be one of the few who has no or mild symptoms, or be one of those who ends up on life support in the ICU. And asymptomatic does not mean harmless; I just read about a monkey study that showed that the infected monkeys had lung lesions, yet still appeared healthy. There are plenty of diseases that do not cause symptoms yet harm your body. HepC, for example, can cause liver damage and cancer but no one knows they have it until they are tested.
