re: Lack of meaningful Covid stats

As there are more and more cases, more people recovering, more people dying it will not be as easy to keep the numbers current.
I did read that the CDC director said that 1 in 4 coronavirus cases are symptom free. The bad thing about that is.. of course.. Someone has it, doesn't know it.. So they are a carrier of it which means they are subjected to spreading it.

Are they defining a "recovery" as someone with two negative tests? Because they don't follow up on a lot of these cases, just tell them to stay home and quarantine. It sorta skews the numbers.

EVER. I know I'm not voluntarily going to give my DNA to test for the antibody.

The authorities only want doom and gloom reported until the last person either recovers or dies. Until a vaccine is approved, the all clear date will keep getting pushed back a little at a time. You can only boil a frog by placing it in cool water and increasing the heat slowly. If the mandate a month ago was that we will be locked down for 6-12 months, grocery shelves would still be empty. It’s a marathon, not a sprint, and the human race will survive and learn things that will be applied in the future. Stay safe, brothers and sisters.

Well, we know how many people have tested positive. We are told how many died, but we don't really know how that is determined. For example, are people who died and had the virus but the virus may not have been the real reason for their death included in that number? We certainly do not know how many people have had the virus and recovered, mainly because we don't test people unless they have significant symptoms. I would like to hear of an antibody test in general use. Seems to me it would be good to know how many people had it and got over it in terms of this stay at home situation. I would think that such a test would be useful in letting those people go back to work.
