A lot of the numbers are purely a product of CYA testing by hospitals for outpatient procedures. Even a lot of the inpatient testing is not because they're actually "dying of muh COVID". Almost every confirmed positive that actually makes it in the ICU is old AF and/or has co-morbid conditions. 20-40% of all people don't show any symptoms at all, which is interestingly damn close to the percent of people required to naturally get some decent herd immunity. They could have forgone the stupid lock-down, told young people to party, and old people stay inside for month or two. That would have negated this whole shitshow.
I was getting my eyelashes done earlier today and my eyelash girl is pregnant. They require Covid testing before she gets induced. She was worried about a false positive causing a cascade of problems and I was able to calm her down with more realistic stats. It is interesting that testing positive scares her more than Covid because she knows she is healthy and it will be mild.
My congress critter sent out an email saying our death rates and hosipitalizations have held steady as cases have gone up so we can all just relax. Meanwhile news stories make it sound like we are in a disaster, fake news
