I think millions and millions of people have the Corona Virus in the United States

[DogDaze]

I would love to know the number of people who have been tested and come back negative

It’s listed here. Just scroll over and look at total tested and then subtract total cases from it...

Media won't do that. It just might put a positive spin on this. Can't have that happen.

Lol @)

I think most of us may have it

I don't think so. Take Arizona for instance.

Seems like every night the local news mentions the total amount of people tested vs how many test positive. And the positive tests seem to be at about 10% of all tested. If that's any indication then no more than 1 out of 10 of us have it. Now anyway.

I heard 1 in 7 will have it in DC by June

We have tested .5% of our population and have over 300k confirmed cases and you dont think there are millions of people sick out there

[FONT=Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,Calibri,Geneva,sans-serif]So if I'm reading the numbers right, we have 1,751,296 tested.

333,173 positive 1,418,123 negative. Huh?

That just reinforces my theory of overreaction.[/FONT]

I'm not sure how accurate your numbers are, but let's say they are. What conclusions are you drawing from them?

 

[kidman232]

1.75 million tested, 334k confirmed cases

 

[festeringZit]

1.75 million tested, 334k confirmed cases

What can we conclude from that? We have to assume that a very large % of those being tested are already exhibiting symptoms.

so, roughly 19% of those exhibiting symptoms that are tested have the virus...

Just because your not testing or cant test people doesnt mean they don't have it

If millions were infected Jan-Feb as you claim, hospitals would've been overrun with sick patients and dead bodies.

Yet there were only 65 positive cases on March 1 and just 1 dead. So your wacky theory doesn't hold water.

 

[kidman232]

It holds alot of merit if the vast % of people were not showing any signs of it. Also if you cant test for it, how many deaths are written off as flu, bronchitus, or pneumonia?????

My friends sister was sick for like a week and tested positive for it. She was isolated in her house with her husband taking care of her. They wont even test him because he feels fine, yet hes been in close contact with someone daily that is infected. Id bet money he would test positive for it, but they arent "wasting" tests on healthy people

The virus was here in late November, early December.

That’s not true

My sister-in-law who lives nearby and is a nurse practitioner says that if you have all the symptoms, unless you are having trouble breathing, at least here where we
are, they're telling people to stay home and isolate themselves, and recover at home. I.e don't go to the hospital and "waste" their resources.

It’s not the vast majority. If it was the vast majority....then A LOT more people would be dead from this.


Of course I’m going to have to explain this^^. If you understand this virus then you understand that statement.



Think if it was really the vast majority. And then think that 10% of our population is diabetic.

 

[Mobdeeper7239]

I’ve been exposed to it twice and haven’t gotten it. I know I haven’t gotten it because if I did I would’ve gotten others sick.


Are many more infected than reported? Yes. Is that a good thing? No.

Do you not see all the hospitals overflowing with patients and dead bodies piling up right now? That would've been happening in Jan-Feb if your theory were correct. Similar to the flu, there weren't many infected in the first couple months. Again, your theory is hogwash.

My niece was studying in Florence Italy and sent home. Her roommate tested positive, they wouldn't test my niece because she didn't have any symptoms

When was that?

Seemed like the protocol has changed. The people I know who had it....their agency basically traced back everyone who was on that persons schedule and tested them.


You can’t trace every interaction. It’s impossible

When did i say anything about january or most of feb? What do you say to 330k+ infected when only .5% of the population has been tested. How many articles have you seen of people complaining about not being able to get tested or how little testing the united states is doing or how celebs are being shamed for using their influence to get access to testing. You just happen to think were getting everyone tested that has it is laughable
