It is comments like this that prove that you are acting dishonestly. I never said that. That is a classic straw man argument. What I said, word for word:
Testing positive is not the same thing as being sick. And that is the deception in a nutshell.
Apparently there's no "correct" way to answer your question of "How many people do you know that are actually sick with Covid-19 as of today?" Either you qualify their answer if the person is classified as diagnosed but not symptomatic, or if the person says yes, they know someone who is actually sick, then you call "BS". So there's no way you will accept any answer that meets your criteria - you just move the goalposts into infinity.

When I ask dozens of people that live all around the country, and the answer is nearly always: 0 or 1, and then someone says "15" or some other nonsense, you know they are not being honest. In fact, I even caught someone on this thread admitting that they were not being honest; exaggerating their number from 2 to 15 and even admitting that they did it.
Now, I understand, the person we are speaking about said 5, not 15 as others have said. But that's still 5x more than 99%, or said in another way 500% of the average, so we are nearing '100 year flood', or 'struck by lightning' territory, and I don't buy it.
Now let me ask you: how many people do you know that are actually sick with Covid19 as of today?

I won't answer you in any way - what would be the purpose? Any answer I provided wouldn't be up to your standards, and if I said I knew people who had it and were actively ill you would just call "BS" like you did with the other poster. You have a specious agenda and I don't choose to participate in it.
The HR manager at the company where I used to work caught it and died two weeks ago. It's a little ironic, because this person for years denied employees their FMLA benefits, causing them to come to work sick.
None. Just one who died, that pass muster with you?
Yes, it does. You know 0 just like me.
