Trump the MAGA MAN winning.
The exact same point for the death rate. You cant say that 100000 or 100 or 0 people had it that weren't tested. But I think we may be able to assume that a lot more people have had it due to the transmission rate and how easily this virus seems to be spread.

During a White House briefing Sunday, Vice President Mike Pence announced that “more than 2,000 labs” will have high-speed testing capacity by Monday.
Since the declaration of a national state of emergency, Pence said federal public health services have worked with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and "have reached out to all 50 states to create a process that will enable all Americans who need to be tested to go to a community-based testing site outside of usual health care facilities."
Pence noted these tests will be focused on those "most in need."
Adm. Brett Giroir with the US Public Health Service outlined how new coronavirus testing will be rolled out. He said there would be 1.9 million tests available this week across the 2,000 labs. Giroir also emphasized that the priority would be placed on those most vulnerable.
Giroir added that there wouldn’t be undue stress put on the acute health care system, meaning emergency rooms or urgent care
Absolutely, if by everyone you mean shows symptoms or has come in contact with someone who's been infected, etc. How else are we to identify who has COVID-19 and who has another lesser virus? Also, are we supposed to quarantine everyone who sneezes, coughs, or has the "sniffles"? How do we protect health care workers from the possibly infected if they don't know who has it? ....SMH It's just common sense.
You’re actually a genius.uhhhh checked against still under 60
Based on your logic you’ve cured cancer.
If you don’t provide testing for cancer you can easily claim that cancer doesn’t kill.
63 now...uhhhh checked against still under 60

better dig up those corpses and test them so you can win an argument!
I wonder how many the flu killed during that same timeframe..
How many died of the flu but it was actually corona.
Answer according to you: None, as long as we don’t test anyone.

It's not common sense hence the litany of questions you added. Also can you catch this more than once. If so, then do you need tested until you are positive?
What about next year?
Clearly were all doomed
Then that just means there were millions that had corona that didn't die get treated or tested.
white flag accepted
Gotta wonder, supposedly the pangolin to human transmission was traced to late November in Wuhan though China didn't acknowledge anything until New Year's Eve.
Well, if it's not common sense then the answer to the questions I asked should be obvious.
No one knows for sure but it seems likely that having the infection once can result in some immunity, but just like the influenza virus can mutate so can this one.
And next year? Who knows...it may stay here with us forever or as your dear leader said it might one day just disappear like magic.
But I get it...you're on the it's "just a flu" team and no reason to test because it will incite panic. Or maybe you don't want to know. Maybe you just don't want to deal with your own mortality.
No one will ever be able to determine this.
Less then 1% have re tested positive after exsposure and recovery in china soo far
Not at all. I would rather live my life than hide. Testing doesnt matter as much as good hygiene. Which is, and will continue to be, the problem.
If you have good hygiene you most likely wont get it. That's pretty much the only thing you will ever know about the spread of viruses for sure.
Interesting. Thanks, you got a link.
The effectiveness of these test aren't 100% accurate...I'm aware of the literature (we would need longitudinal studies on a much larger cohort to really understand the prognosis of the disease--but it's all still very new) . We can't dismiss that some pts we're still infected and tested false negative.
What does "good hygiene" mean to you?
Hand washing regularly, hands off face, cough sneeze into elbow or tissue then wash hands, limiting shared spaces, social distancing. You do those things you be fine.
The problem is most of the time humans dont do any of that and they have a gross habit of touching their own face often. Cut that out.
Italy high due to age, cultural appropriateness of poor hygiene and smokers. China due to proximity. I would be interested in knowing more about this when utilizing data to determine transmission of any virus. Again, problem solve on prevention not reaction
Unfortunately not everyone shares your sentiments and sometimes extreme measures have to take place to drive the point across--like locking down cities. As for testing, and as someone who has front row seats to what's unfolding, we have to test--we have to know who has it so we can act on it and who doesn't. All in all, this is a communicable disease and it's going to take everyone working together to slow it down so we can save as many people as we can and that's including our healthcare workers and other essential parts/workers of our society.
