How many countries are testing asymptomatic people?

In theory. The say they don’t count duplicate cases, but I’m not so sure I believe them

Devils advocate, the plague wasn’t handled this way

No, there hasn’t.

How was the plague handled differently?
What was the mortality rate of the plague?

What I learned from this thread:
*0.1% of the population is at risk from this virus. Guess we have a lot of healthy old/fat people in America.
*Either all governors are Democrat or all that are Republican opened up before the Democrats. Either way, Democrat always at fault for economic woes.

they open testing to all then the contraction rate will decrease and create less of a need for governmental interference.
You know damn good and well that’s not true. JBE has been harping on total cases for a while now. Not positives

There are plenty of false positives out there. Including a set of, I think it was 20, tests sent in not swabbed with fake names and they all came back positive.

That’s not far off.
3M cases, confirmed and presumed. That’s less than 1% of the population that have had it.
Using numbers we know from around the globe, around 4-5% of known cases require hospitalization. So, assuming we’ve captured 40% of the total cases through testing, that’s 0.08% hospitalized. If we round up, that’s .1%.

The second half of that statement is mostly true. States with Republican governors have opened earlier and more completely.
quote:

This is incorrect. Sometimes it’s Republicans listening to Democrats that are responsible for economic woes.

Between the two of us, I’m guessing only one has an advanced degree in immunology. And, this virus isn’t changing millions of years of human evolution

Summary Researchers and public health authorities do not know how the immune system reacts to coronavirus or whether people who recover from COVID-19 develop long-term immunity.
Also developing immunity to a new virus is quite literally humans evolving
Admittedly I did word the statement incorrectly. But what HAS been found and documented are instances where someone was symptomatic, became asymptomatic, tested fine, and then tested positive again more than a week later.
There was also a study I found that tested 175 former Covid patients and they could not find the antibodies in 10 of those. Thankfully 10 is a relatively small number but there hasn’t been anything to show that you’re guaranteed to develop the antibodies.

Go get tested. One of the First things they ask you is what your symptoms are.

Anyone on the planet can reacquire if they become immunosuppressed. No immune system, no immune response. This is an outlier, and has no place in a conversation about this virus being different.

The antibodies to ANYTHING ALWAYS disappear after the agent is cleared. So do the B cells that produced them. However, the immune system has memory, and can produce those same B cells the first sign of the agent reappearing. Your study was probably from the Huffington Post, they may understand less about immunity than you do.

I guess they don’t teach this in HS biology anymore. I remember a whole month or two on vaccines and antibiotics. It’s one of our contributions to the world. It’s like everyone forgot about it...oh, I forgot....American is bad now.

No.
NOT when antibody tests (which show recovered cases) are lumped in with active cases.
And NOT where repeated tests on the same person are counted multiple times.
How damn dumb do the think we are?

What a golden opportunity to invade the privacy of the citizenry. The testing emphasis is that "Good Crisis" to be taken advantage of, that permits the nationwide DNA database to be populated with millions of DNA samples linked to specific individuals nationwide. No permission required.

The CDC reported a total of 71 Covid-19 deaths the week ending 7/4/2020. Yet, you would think there were bodies littering the streets of America the way the MSM carried on.
