CDC warns eight COVID-19 infections are missed for every one counted
New York Post ^ | November 26, 2020 | By Lee Brown

The record surge in coronavirus cases across the US is likely far worse, with an estimated eight infections unreported for every one infection counted, according to a government report — which would put the true tally closer to 100 million

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) calculated that by the end of September there had really been as many as 53 million Americans contract the deadly bug — just under eight times the confirmed cases reported at the time.

Of those, the CDC believes about 45 million were sick at some point and about 2.4 million were hospitalized.

The true tally is likely now far higher, with November continually breaking case records across the US — with now 12,778,256 cases officially reported,

f the CDC is correct about the number of missed cases, that would put the true number of infections in the US now closer to 100 million.

As well as record numbers of infections, the US is also seeing more people hospitalized by the contagion than ever before — as well as record numbers of deaths in at least nine states.

It comes as mass travel for Thanksgiving against CDC guidance is feared to create even more disaster.

If the medical experts are misdiagnosing 95% of their tests, why should we listen to anything they have to say?

This is great news. Forget about the vaccine. We are being vaccinated naturally.

How many cases of influenza A today?
How many cases of influenza B today?
So far this fall I have two elderly with influenza A that died from pneumonia.
Another had influenza B.
I am sick and tired of this left wing COVID SCAM.
A hospitalist tried to tell me the above cases were covid but it was a lie because they were tested with reliable tests in the clinic and had influenza A and one with B.

How is this bad news? We do not need all of those vaccines we have already paid for.

Easy. They just bent over and pulled some "knowledge" out. :-)

Actually 100 million already infected is good news, not bad.

And the reason they are missed is that those people are totally asymptomatic.

Yes, the CDC has just announced that Covid-19 is now nearly as deadly as the common cold. We seem to be going full circle on this. In the beginning we were told that it was related to the common cold but much more deadly. Now we are told that it is related to the common cold but much less deadly than originally thought. Soon it will just be that it is the common cold for 95% of the population, but more dangerous for certain individuals who are prone to dying from just about any viral infection, heart disease, cancer, gun shot or motorcycle accident that actually killed them.

Right. So they’re ‘warning’ us that we may have or may get some disease that is so mild you wouldn’t even bother to be tested or see a doctor?

Guess we need to be warned not to touch a hot stove. Or keep your tongue out of the spinning fan.
