Most recoveries are lost to follow-up. Since most people who test positive are either asymptomatic or have only very mild symptoms, and never get any worse, they aren't tracked. Only those who were very seriously ill and hospitalized would be followed long enough to be medically confirmed as "recovered."

Makes sense from that perspective, thanks. Still a little odd on the 0 thing..

Not really. Whatever this website is, it clearly isn't an official source for information on COVID. Presumably it's just a "scraper", pulling information from various public sources, and using some automated formatting to keep updating it. It's unlikely that there would be any official national data on "recovered cases" (since it's clearly not a knowable number, and any numbers shown by those states and counties which report a number under this heading are obviously meaningless), so when the field is missing from whatever sources this site is scraping national data from, it just ends up showing as a zero.

This is really interesting. But when I follow the link I'm not sure what I'm looking at. I don't see a field that is clearly the one you would go into to get this info. Would you mind providing a bit of context as to what the website is (just a general description) and how/where you're supposed to find this within? Thanks.

Got you.. scroll down most the way to the bottom of this page (which shows for any zip in AZ) - https://www.google.com/amp/s/az.postcodebase.com/zipcode/85034-9999%3Famp%3D

Just numbers to me, meaningless. China Virus is bullshit. 99.8% survival rate. More people have died from flu but their not reporting that anymore.

They only count as recovered with two negative tests or something. I bet the real deaths are like 1/3 of reported. They have to list the china virus even if the death was caused by something else.
