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 “infectious” are missed, they are not worth the shutdowns.


Even if this is completely wrong, and only confirmed cases are actual cases, this is not worth the shutdown.

An argument could be made that the first shutdown was justified for the substantial worst parts of the country, in order to build up medical capabilities. But much of the country never got levels high enough to stress hospitals themselves - just PPE availability. It definitely should not have gone on as long as it did.

So that either means that hundreds of millions of Americans are dropping dead and we don’t notice... or COVID isn’t quite what we’ve been led to believe.

>So if my math is right..that means the death rate is much lower???

And the vast majority have no symptoms worth testing.

And as soon as the 100 million inevitably past it to the other 200 million, it’s done.

That should take about 2 more weeks.

So, how does that balance with 6% of covid deaths being the true statistic of the plandemic?

Who, in their right mind, could believe a singe word these jackasses utter?

Yes. Maybe I shouldn't bring this up, but if the case fatality rate is this low, it sheds doubt on the efficacy of early treatments for COVID-19, including hydroxychloroquine.

Deaths are deaths. Now, what caused the deaths??? But that's another question.

What it says is the infection rate is 9 times what is reported.
= lots of people times 9 (Near everyone?).- Not sure I believe that.
What is the CDC really trying to say (other than its the end of the world if they don't get lots more money)?

The overall population mortality shows the effect of Covid - that is, the raw total of recorded deaths in civil, not medical records.

The CDC has compiled these. Unfortunately in the US this lags medical reporting by up to a month.

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm

This is of weekly totals of recorded death certificates. Scroll down to the chart.

Most European countries do the same. As an example, Spain, which has very efficient civil records, does it daily, lagged about 1.5 weeks -

Their chart speaks for itself.

However, the word “WEIGHTED” occurs in the fine print more that a dozen times.

As for the cause of death - it is possible that panic itself caused the increase in mortality, but that is a stretch. The timing seems very unlikely to explain it as a general lack of medical care. There would have been no European ‘summer holiday’ from Covid if that was the case.

My opinion, as I note with these charts and etc., is not based on sensational reporting but on rarely noted public records, never mentioned in the MSM. I do my own research. I’m the guy who looks up footnotes.

It is entirely possible (extremely likely, to me) that medical reporting is full of false information, as well as there being a genuine and significant increase in deaths due to Covid, AND that the disease is nowhere near deadly enough to justify the extreme, panicked response, which is a judgment call.

“They both spit out false-positives like slot machines.

And they are fine with that because it lets them pump up the numbers and declare lockdowns.”

The federal funding for that damn “PCR test” runs out at the end of the year. I expect the “positives “ to go way down when people have to pay for it themselves. Here in SF the propaganda has ramped up for testing. Positives Positives Positives test test test.

Which means you need to do as I do, chase down their links to discover what they are weighting and why.

The timing seems very unlikely to explain it as a general lack of medical care.

So you believe that a virus that causes no or easily ignored symptoms in approximately 90% of people causes more deaths than the entire population afraid to get medical care for the serious health threats of heart disease, cancer, strokes and other life threatening illnesses? The entire population has been denied the opportunity to exercise at health clubs and around here to even walk around a mall. Nearly the entire population has been denied the ability to choose restaurants which serve healthy meals instead of fast food crap. My parents were going to the YMCA just about every night. They were eating healthy food and they were going to the doctor when they had problems. They are very sociable people but they have been denied contact with people even at their church. They appear to have aged 10 years in the past year.

Regardless of what you believe about yourself... you have been misled and are a silly, gullible person.

If true, would mean 30% of the population has antigens and cannot transmit the disease, so we are at the the cusp of “herd protection,” or as it is inaccurately called, ‘herd immunity.”

By February 1st it will be crashing

And Joe Biden will be called a genius.

” I checked my County. 655 cases, 17 deaths. Should I panic?”

And 16 of those 17 were in their last month of life even without Covid.

So all over Europe the death rate spiked abruptly in March-April due to a sudden reluctance to get medical care?
And then everyone did get medical care all summer as usual? And then from October they got this mania again?

Leftist politicians and the media world wide see this as a way to take more power. It is open season on gullible fools everywhere. If you are unable to see that then you are worse off than I thought.

I have read, over the course of months, that the billing codes provide for this due to increased risk. If you’re correct, then what I have read is wrong (even though consistent with hospitals getting paid more for these patients).
