Interesting - but I’m assuming this is for those hospitalized.
So those who have light symptoms and never get tested must be in balance.
To me it sound like a test that could be used for other purposes. I’ve heard of many cases where someone was experiencing issues that their doctors would not take seriously. This would be a good indicator that something is in fact wrong, when other tests turn up negative.
Those I know who were “infected” with the virus were never tested, never hospitalized, were told if you don’t have 104 fever don’t come in. Thus, no hospitalization, no treatment, just isolation. Whether or not they had the virus is questionable but they are counted in the scare the public numbers. They don’t want to bring anyone into the hospital unless they are near terminal and might count in the cash for covid sweepstakes. I do know that the bulk of the patients in our local ICUs are not virus patients, they are those who were denied early care for things like cancer and other serious conditions who are now at a critical stage. Mass testing is irrelevant as an indicator of anything. Ask yourself, have they ever tested for seasonal flu?
