Why not!?

If you go to WRALs CV19 updates they list confirmed cases, deaths, then at they state X recovered with side bar that some counties aren't tracking that.

WTF not? That info serves not only medical community at large but everyone as whole to balance out all the doom and gloom everyone loves spewing.

Wouldn't think it to hard for records department check the discharge papers for those recovered from hospitalization.

That much is true, but there's no reliable way to track equivalent data for the patients who recover at home instead of at the hospital.

This. This is exactly what precisely tracking recoveries is near impossible. If I get confirmed and then stay at home until I'm we'll again, the doctors most likely won't know to add me to the tally.

Inaccurate numbers can be harmful and idk how resources are allocated but they may have other things taking precedent

Nobody is really doing accurate counting anywhere. I stopped listening to that crap when I read that there could be as many as 25% asymptomatic. 🙄

Yep I'm starting to believe this thing is more widespread than originally thought and that a huge percentage of the population has been exposed to it since at least December and most never knew it.

It truly is. With that and reports of animal transmission from humans and vice versa smh

as many as 25% asymptomatic.

Probably higher...

Right. Mass random testing in Iceland found 50% of carriers were asymptomatic

And in some areas, I've heard in the 70% range... nasty.

This virus is very selective to whom it puts the bitch-slap on.

There's also an article about 50+% of the test being false negatives

The media doesn’t get viewers from reporting on the incredibly high recovery rate.

Can't confirm cases/track if you don't test!

They don’t have enough to test sick people, why would they test people who are feeling better?
