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

Correct. Way lower than you currently see. Just not as low as the flu. Everyone needs to let that idea go, but they don’t because they think it’s some type of strong evidence that we need to open up. The strongest evidence for going back to work is that we need to prevent economic meltdown and a worse problem. That would be true even if the mortality rate was 2%.
