We have deaths every day in hospitals due to sudden respiratory syndrome. They are labeled as such. SRS can be caused by a host of pathogens, influenza A/B H1N1,H1N5, thirteen different strains of pneumonococal bacteria, SARS,MERS,COVID19 the list is long. Right now none of those cases have been tested post mortem for.COVID19 since the CDC has not been testing on purpose they just changed the rules yesterday after getting burned by the first California case we will see a flood of cases soon it’s.inevitable how do you think these people got it in the community these people crossed paths with a spreader who is still out their. Korea has tested hundreds of thousands in a few days the CDC in a month has less than 500 they flat out were not looking for it inside the general health community. So we have no idea how many of the hundreds of daily deaths due to respiratory issues nation wide are actually covod19 we will know more as testing ramps up big time.
Saying people die in hospitals every day due to sudden repiratory syndrone does not mean they have died from the Corono Virus either. Your equation works both ways.
I actually have no interest in what Korea is doing or not. And it’s interesting you didn’t mention anything favorable the US has done which has kept this from spreading.....which thus far we have done well to date.
