Well tbf, a lot of people have it and aren't tested. The denominator is much higher.

This is misleading. It's significantly worse than the flu and I'm not downplaying the virus, it's just that we don't really know how many people had it. All signs point to it being much, much lower than 7% though.

And apparently we may not know how many people had it for a while since apparently the antibody tests aren't working properly and show tons of false positives.

This is definitely true. But still, anyone acting like this amount of mortality isnt scary is likely an idiot

Yeah it's scary. A lot people may be perfectly fine but of the people who are documented, 7 percent is alot of death. I'm really afraid of this virus.

We don't how many people who had it but were asymptomatic the entire time.

They said like what? 20% of cases are serious? They don't even let you get tested unless you have serious symptoms and are in a risk group in my state. So it could be like 5 times less at 1.4% which is still a problem ofc with how contagious it seems to be.

around 20% cases are serious which is a terrifying number for something that spreads so easily. Most studies are saying that the projected mortality rate is like 1-2%

Epidemiologists suspect it is really 1-2% factoring in unreported cases. Which is still terrifying.

Unreported, yes. Is that not still an issue for you?

That's what the number is when you test only those that are critically ill.

I suppose that's kind of a moot point since nobody who isn't showing symptoms is going to die from it, or go to a hospital for it, or pretty much anything relevant.

The vast majority were high risk people.

Not to downplay but don't be trying to frame it as something more intense.

But what is high risk? Apparently having diabetes or asthma makes you high risk. If that's the case, then it doesn't frame it that much better since. High risk doesn't necessarily mean they were in poor health and had only so much time left.

High risk describes over half the people in US. So thats not really a comfort at all, actually.
