The drivebys know that the more people are tested with a false positive rate of between 87 and 94% the more covid will look as if it's far bigger than it actually is.
If 50,000 are claimed to have covid through testing with a 90% false positive result in essence only 5,000 really tested positive for covid,most likely in line with normal flu results.
And as we have seen over 90% of those who have covid don't even know they have it!!So in reality 500 of 50,000 may have the flu.Even with those 99% don't die!!!
So we are looking a the possibility of five deaths when the media reports 50,000 report testing positive for covid.
What are normal death rates? Probably more than the five reported possibly dying.
When you analyze it all this is one of the biggest cons ever created in the world and we all fell for it!!
Forget, just for a moment, that the positive tests are overrated. The FACT is that the ratio of positive test to actual death is is minuscule.
However, a huge number of people (especially those who watch the “news” like it is Gospel) have this idea that COVID 19 is a death sentence.
That’s why so many polls show people are really over-estimating the number of deaths at almost the number of people who test positive.
Joe Biden says you’ll reach over to touch a loved one. Oops, Joe said, “He dead. We can’t LIVE with it, only DIE with it.”
Just utter stupidity, demagoguery and MALARKEY rolled into one utterance!
I read here the other day, that in the US, 8,000 die every day from something.
Week of Apr. 18 was 1 million tests for 200,000 cases and 33,000 hospitalizations.
This puts it in perspective. The more testing, the more cases. And more importantly, the fatality/hospitalization rates from the virus decline even more as a percentage of those infected. More cases and fewer deaths per capita.
Speak for yourself.
We happen to know that. It's pretty easy to cut through all the noise about testing, was it really Covid, etc.
I finally heard DjT speak about the safe 99+%.
Inflated COVID cases will be shouted all day, every day, so DjT better pound the 99% much louder.....accompanied with extra care for vulnerable seniors
Here in SE NM we are going all out for testing and of course finding more positives. The reason is that schools are closed and to get them open, the percentage of positives to total tested has to drop to a lower number than it is now (maybe 5%, not sure). It’s really damned if you do and damned if you don’t. Now that the numbers of positives are going up, our RadDem governor (now running for a top position in the upcoming Biden administration) is tightening the screws on us even more, ignoring percentages.
Her latest is requiring employees of all businesses interfacing with the public getting state certified in Covid safe practices, getting names and phone numbers of all persons eating at restaurants, 14-day closure of businesses who have four employees test positive over a two-week period, and closure of all businesses at 10 p.m., including all night convenience stores. That is on top of a mandatory 14-day quarantine (even with a negative covid test) for anyone who travels out of state for non-essential business (i.e. vacation). Exceptions are medical treatment and parenting (divorced parent visiting children). The same 14-day quarantine applies to anyone visiting the state as a tourist (the number 2 source of state revenue). Truly it is almost an East German type control.
