A new study suggests that the rate of coronavirus infection in different parts of the United States may be much higher than anyone thinks.

infection in different parts of the United States may be much higher than anyone thinks.

The CDC's most recent estimate is that about 40% of infections come from people who don't show symptoms. That means people who are asymptomatic carriers of the virus may play a large role in community transmission .The agency's most recent analysis included 10 cities and states in the U.S., many of which have high infection rates.

this is very GOOD news if you think about it

It makes me really angry when trump talks about how much Fauci “got wrong” at the beginning of this pandemic BECAUSE IT’S A NEW VIRUS. We’re still learning new information about it and will continue to do for some time. IStandWithFauci

Also does anyone know the true death toll yet? I know it's sensitive to those who've lost loved ones and I'm very sorry to hear about that but we do need to find out the true mortality rate of this. Why did they add with Covid-19 onto the death toll when some died of other reason

Which implies lower mortality rates, since there’s more infected and no change to amount dying. So things are improving?

Maybe they should separate the counts of antibody and serology tests. Also the FBI is investigating on a scam on antibody testing. Imagine if that gets mixed up!

factor in that antibodies DISAPPEAR from a person after 3 to 8 weeks and we must suspect there are EVEN MORE infections than even antibody tests suggest

Remember its largely the asymptomatics who are unaccounted for. Given that I have some amount of doubt its 10x

So basically they claim that this virus is so bad that there is a high number of people who were infected but didn't notice anything unusual... real killer this one.

So the death rate is 10x lower than what is being reported.

FakeNewsMedia

Please explain the low if any numbers in other countries PLEASE! stop spewing garbage news every other day

Are the deaths lower though even one death is too many

well duh we are lied too by the government. i don't believe their numbers are accurate. plus we have a president that backtracks everything he says is anything factual nowadays. smh

Another useless study. Thanks

And most everyone lives on imagine that.

So, the case fatality rate is 10 times lower?

So you’re saying the mortality rate is much lower than anyone thinks.

Not higher than anyone thinks, just way fucking higher than those “experts” think

Lie
