Yes.

Peak in testing is what caused a peak in reported cases. Asymptomatic infections are stupidly high.

It was almost like they designed a virus to have the highest infection rates possible but the lowest death rates. I wonder why they would do that?

If you look at the numbers in prisons where 75%+ have antibodies but less than a dozen people report systems it raises some questions.

How could China virus sweep through a prison and nobody even noticed?

The best data seems to be hospitalizations, which is less vulnerable to testing surges or false death certificates. Hospitalizations peaked in NYC first week of April, and I suspect the rest of the country is close to that.

Hospitalizations need to be the main piece of data, because this whole damn thing was about not overloading the hospitals in the first place.

Being off by only 700% is actually pretty good for these people.

According to the CDC more people were hospitalized with Influenza-Like Illnesses (ILI) during the 2017-2018 flu season by this point in the year.

Asymptomatic is they had it, then have it again but not showing symptoms cause they’re immune to it? Is that what asymptomatic means?

Either way, totally agree.

If you look at my post history, I posted a article from my state saying that masks are mandatory now in stores and businesses. In the article they mention, people are walking around and have the froo but not showing symptoms.... well wouldn’t that mean that they had it and it’s actually herd immunity?!? Fuck these politicians and governors are either very VERY stupid, or know EXACTLY what they are doing. I really hope they are just stupid.

Asymptomatic just means they had it but had no symptoms of it. They had it without knowing.

So basically it went through entire prison systems entirely unnoticed because there was zero testing.

The data seems to show if we had ignored it entirely it would have gone almost unnoticed.

Ok. Yeah makes sense.
