https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/weekl...regt_cl27.html.

Yesterday alone there were 77K cases and that number is DAILY, not weekly.

The transmission of the virus is much greater than the flu and by extension the greater the chance for infection of others.
That tells me that if there were 60M cases of swine flu (H1N1) here in the US back in ‘09-‘10 we could go north of there with this virus. (Of course nobody has any idea of how many Covid-19 infections there have been already - certainly many times greater than the 3.5M positive tests)

^ The CDC thinks that the number of cases is up to 10x then what’s reported. Crazy!

US response: "let it burn like a wildfire." (and thus we become the laughing stock of the world).

Masks = tyranny!!

stats, stats, stats, stats, stats, stats, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

"if protestors can be stupid why can't I be stupid too? (they are exercising their rights while being stupid, you're just being a selfish wad).

"shared sacrifice?! I don't think so!!" ("I got my freedom the old fashioned way, someone else's kid died for it").

It has been shown that those with asymptomatic covid have been infected with a mild form of the virus. If you get covid from someone with such a mild form of the virus, you too will likely be asymptomatic. But there is always the .001% to worry about in such events, I will not deny that.

Did you get that information from John Hopkins, "where has it been shown".

It probably is. Most people exposed to the virus have no reason to get tested or see a doctor.

Here are a few of the things you "clearly state":

"reporting it the way they have been instructed"

"for some reason"

"who told them to do it"

"why they thought they were supposed to do it"

"Speculation"

"misrepresent data to further an agenda"

There is no “mild form of the virus”, at least any that I’ve seen documented yet. The only thing I’ve read that can attenuate symptoms is how much virus you are exposed to.

And your point? The last item was the malicious extreme of possibilities and I clearly subscribed to the opposite end. If a lab director doesn't have the resources to process all the cases they may "instruct" or "tell" staff on how to enter data. You're making a fool of yourself.

I observe that many can have an interesting dialogue of differing opinions and yet others seem hell bent on attempting to bait and argue. Of course, just my opinion.
