I predict by the time this is over the final number will be close 100 million....
Is some areas where random antibody tests have been done, some of the estimates are as his a 50 times the reported number of cases have been infected....
Cases are being inflated by lab errors(intentional or otherwise in Texas) and due to CDC’s suggestion to mix antibody tests with ACTUAL YOU HAVE COVID-19 tests.
From a left-leaner:
The agency confirmed to The Atlantic on Wednesday that it is mixing the results of viral and antibody tests, even though the two tests reveal different information and are used for different reasons.
This is not merely a technical error. States have set quantitative guidelines for reopening their economies based on these flawed data points.

Its about the true death rate, not how many get it, which is only the denominator and by increasing, keeps reducing the death rate. But that doesnt fit the narrative or get ratings.
So far Johns Hopkins reports 127,930 deaths. So, if true, less than 1% of those who get it actually die from it.
We’re ALL infected...
Democrats want to shut the nation down over the measles...
I believe I was the first person in the U.S. to have it. Started the Monday after Thanksgiving.
My favorite scientific word, “believe”.
Those 20 million are disproportionately the most vulnerable in our population, either weak immune systems or high social interaction. Either way, the next round of COVID will strike a somewhat less vulnerable population. If it doesn’t hit until after the election, so that even democrats don’t need to help it destroy America, then Round Two should be a non-event.
In Florida a lot more people are getting antibody tested, but percent positive only about 2-3 or 4 percent. I would think % positive would be much higher if more people have been infected
When you wish upon the second star to the right.....
If true, it shows how the Wuhan Virus is far less of the mass killer it is portrayed as, and those 20 million represent a larger than previously known level of possible herd immunity.
We need to seriously QUIT looking at “numbers of cases”. The only focus of public concern should be on deaths and hospitalizations. The rest is taking place with the mass of those infected having passed some asymptomatic or mild illness phase before ridding themselves of the virus.
