How many of us have been tested for Coronovirus? How do they know how many people have the virus?
The only way you can know how many cases you have is to test everyone.
The numbers we see are most likely just the tip of the iceberg.
Where I live people are not being generally tested. How about where you live?
@eladar saidLike this teenager?
People die in the tens of thousands due to viruses every year.
Pity he didn't have health insurance ...
@wolfgang59
Yep. It happens. Welcome to the real world. No guarantees he would have lived if he had health issues making him susceptible.
@eladar saidI'm no doctor but I reckon admitting someone into hospital improves their chances.

Just a hunch.

@eladar saidI believe @petewxyz is one such person that went thru it with mild symptoms. Him and his wife and daughter.
Of course all of the typical Coronavirus people who have very mild symptoms are not being put on the news.
People only see the very few extreme cases which leads to the hysteria.
But you're right, the MSM doesn't focus on that aspect of the virus attack, they focus on the gore. Death and fear sell.
@Earl-of-Trumps
Ah, so if you were POTUS you would just ignore the dying just like Trump and say, lets open the country by Easter.
I don't suppose you remember back a month ago when he said 'so the numbers go down from 15 to zero and that just shows how great a job we are doing'.
I guess we are supposed to have memories that last only a few hours so we can hang on his every word and take it as 100% truth because a few hours later he will change his story, SUCH a great leader.
@eladar saidWhat is the point of your obvious and obtuse posts?

@wolfgang59
Actually watched the video. Do you know what an urgent care is? It is a very low tech doctor's office. Even with health insurance he would have been sent to the hospital.
@eladar saidActually, urgent care facilities would be good places to test for the virus - assuming they had any tests. In general, you're supposed to go to urgent care if "someone's regular physician is on vacation or unable to offer a timely appointment. Or, when illness strikes outside of regular office hours, urgent care offers an alternative to waiting for hours in a hospital Emergency Room."

"Urgent Care services are medically necessary services which are required for an illness or injury that would not result in further disability or death if not treated immediately, but require professional attention and have the potential to develop such a threat if treatment is delayed longer than 24 hours."
