His “data”? These two jokers run urgent cares in California. They aren’t ER doctors.

These are the 2 guys that tested 5,000 people that came to their urgent cares and found 19% have COVID. They then used this number to say 19% of the entire country has COVID. Sorry, that’s not how it works. Those people came in because they were sick.

The only truthful statement this guy makes is that we need to get back to work and open up.

And we keep hearing that there are a ton of asymptomatic infections, which would make the death rate even lower, no?

Yep. In are February and early March, like 90% of tests were positive. So using his logic, about 300 million has covid-19 about 8 weeks ago, but now we’re down to about 60 million.

In other words, it’s obviously poor logic. And anyone who didn’t question it, might want to reconsider taking his word.
