I now know three people personal friends positive for the anti bodies. (All nyc) I can’t help but wonder if the infection rate is astronomically highe

R than we know (and death rate that much lower)

Responses:

I think it's abundantly clear that the mortality rate isn't just (identified deaths)/(identified cases) - Reagen May 10, 10:24 6
- Yes I get all that. Knowing the true mortality rate and rate of infection are also important - in fact critical - in understanding a disease - JackDawson May 10, 10:32 4
  - I'm not saying the numbers of death are, I'm saying that % is to an extent. - Reagen May 10, 10:54 3
    - That’s fine from the perspective of assessing the past responses which are terrible and will be hard to convince me otherwise — But I also want to mov - JackDawson May 10, 11:11
    - all numbers are significantly off, even deaths, NY death certificates are 5 or 6x last year, people passing out and hitting head/not listed as c19 -- nm - zeitgeist May 10, 11:00 1
      - There was significant amounts added to the counts a couple of weeks ago based on "presumed cases" - Reagen May 10, 11:18
- I was told there would be no math. -- nm - Qale May 10, 10:31
That escalated quickly. -- nm - Spawn May 10, 09:56
That's what I don't understand. More testing will lower the death rate by math, which strengthens the case for reopening. - Dano May 10, 09:36 13
- he's incapable of getting past the first step of strategic thinking - Reagen May 10, 10:16
- Shouldn’t everyone’s goal be to reopen the economy as safely and as soon as safely possible? Why is this political? Shouldn’t we want to fully - JackDawson May 10, 10:01 10
  - My point is that expanded testing helps Trump make his political point so even within that viewpoint I don’t see why he wouldn’t be pushing for more. - Dano May 10, 10:26 6
    - To be honest I can’t keep track of whether he’s in favor or against testing? - JackDawson May 10, 10:31
    - There's also a portion of it that's based on Jared telling him his model says it goes to zero in two weeks so why do anything? -- nm - Reagen May 10, 10:30
    - "numbers go up = bad. so what if, no numbers?" -- nm - Reagen May 10, 10:28 3
      - The more we test, the more we find! -- nm - Spawn May 10, 10:42
      - Deaths go up is bad for sure but you don’t think a lower mortality rate can be spun? - Dano May 10, 10:38 1
        
        It absolutely could but you first have to bear the pain of a dramatic shoot up in number of cases, and he won't do that - Reagen May 10, 10:52
  - As quickly and safe as quickly possible. -- nm - POTUS May 10, 10:21
  - that Trump and others have given up on testing because they want the appearance of there not being cases. -- nm - Reagen May 10, 10:18 1
    - (also, it's "hard" and pretending that it's another person's job makes it feel easier) -- nm - Reagen May 10, 10:19
- Those of us who want to play Idiocracy should remember: the numbers that get shown on the tee vee machine are overall cases and overall deaths period. -- (edited) - con_carne May 10, 09:50
Only staying at home and playing Xbox will save us. -- nm - Mop May 10, 08:55 1
- Already right there, bud! -- nm - Qale May 10, 10:32
Numbers game is as politicized as the virus itself. Likely only get worse thru til November -- nm - budice May 10, 08:53 2
- Really a sad testament of America that this is the case -- nm - JackDawson May 10, 08:54 1
  - IIRC DeSantis in FL held back number reports to make it seem the virus was under control and they could reopen -- nm - budice May 10, 08:54
Our prisons and nursing homes are coming back with very high infection rates. We are testing them not because they are showing symptoms but - con_carne May 10, 08:42
One can hope. -- nm - Beryllium May 10, 08:36
I'm assuming I had it but was asymptomatic. I was in way too many crowded subway cars during the mass spread. - Krusty May 10, 08:31
This belongs as its own thread whoops sorry -- nm - JackDawson May 10, 08:20 1
- Wii won't infect you and kill your mother...just sayin -- nm - zeitgeist May 10, 10:53
