That’s one thing I’ve always looked at is cases with outcomes, either dead or cured, and it’s always around 25% which is horrifying.


Using correct data that # is 11%....with all the positive test the past 21 days not included

Probably half the deaths that are attributed to the Chinese Flu are bogus.


I wouldnt say half, but a lot of them. You have 30k long term care facility deaths. That could have been handled better. But they count you if you die with covid. So lets say you were given a month to live, you get covid, and die of what you were going to die with anyway, you are a covid death.

Or you notice things like last weekend with Louisiana and you end up with negative deaths from 18-29 year olds. How is that possible?

Yeah but this outrage over testing has been ridiculous. I keep hearing we have to do better at testing, frick drumpf.

Do people not realize that a person has to willingly go get tested? And if they test positive and dont feel sick at all, they still have to willingly quarantine themselves for 14 days.

Yeah, thats not happening with 350 million people. So the whole we need more tests is just a fallacy, it wont stop anything unless we start going gestapo.

Right. We all know if someone has terminal cancer and falls off a tall building and dies, the cancer killed them.

The Alabama Department of Health doesn't like to use the word, "recovered". Thus, we have no numbers whatsoever in regards to recoveries.

This is similar to how LA does it as well. The biggest flaw is a lot of these states are basing the "recovery rate" from 14 or 21 days after positive testing. All the science points to 14-21 days after symptoms start. So that recovery number is probably a lot higher.

In LA there are an estimated 6700 active cases, based on when tests results are known
