What are the "real" numbers?
The official numbers now show over 430,000 cases in the U.S.
Are those the people that reported to the hospitals with symptoms of the virus?
How many did not go to a doctor or a hospital? But instead, chose to ride it out, like they have done most of their lives. They have had the flu before. And they had survived.
How many of these folks may not have made it?
We must beware not to be dragged into the vortex. We really don't know how many asymptomatic people are walking around with the virus? It seems to conceal itself really good in some people. They don't even know they have it.
The only way we can know for sure is to test everyone. We need more testing before we can return to any sense of "normal", in my opinion.
These numbers are statistics. They may be helpful but they do not give us the whole picture.
