Of course, the model suggests that there are a lot of "cases" out their that didn't make the patient sick enough to see a doctor, or get tested. Personally I believe that cases of a disease, corona virus or just plain old measles ought to diagnosed, by medical personnel, not guessed at by computer modelers. Far as I am concerned, unless patient gets sick, shows symptoms, runs a fever, we don't have a case. Right now they are calling every false positive from testing a case, even when the patient isn't sick. And, this kind of imagineering of the number of cases, does crazy things to the death rate. For the same number of deaths, if you call the number of cases 100 mil, the death rate drops down to practically nothing. Plus we know that the medics are under a lot of pressure to call every death a Corona virus death.
There was a study, that got published and then got retracted a day or two later, that claimed that the over all US death rate (all causes) was about the same this year as it was last year before the Corona virus hit. Which suggests that a lot of the deaths blamed on Corona virus would have happened anyhow due to patient age and other conditions.
Anyhow, I am taking all the Corona virus statistics with a grain of salt. Maybe a whole tablespoon of salt.
