Truthfully, I think it would show more of us have been infected without much in the way of symptoms...but we do need to get up and going before the trucking industry collapses...

If everyone were tested- including all the folks who got sick from other causes, and the folks who died but their deaths were ascribed to other causes- we would certainly find a lot of milder cases but we would also find a lot of other severe illnesses & deaths that were ascribed to other causes but in fact, were coronavirus related. I recently read an article (I'm having trouble locating it. When/if I do I'll come back & attach a link) that said that it's usually several years before they have a better idea of the death rates. The way that's determined is they look at the numbers of deaths & compare it to other years, then calculate the variance as deaths from the outbreak that were undiagnosed cases or instances where scarce medical care for other illnesses led to secondary deaths. In any event, if you're going to mentally add in some number of minor cases then for accuracy's sake you have to also add in the many ill & dead folks who were likely from the illness but not connected to it because we weren't yet geared up to find it.

It's like giving the Taliban freedom to maneuver in the country without knowing where they are going. It will bite us on the butt.

I find it ironic that the eugenic, globalist left who are more than happy to abort children have any concerns about a virus that hasn't been as bad as the original projections. I wonder what happened to the "world is over-populated" left or is this "crisis" just another vehicle to be used against their perceived opponents.

Why worry about the deaths of a virus when abortion, err depopulation is a sticky point of the left? The song left leaning propagandists played in Jan/Feb is not the same song they are playing now. Why?
