Hmm 3 people 3 recoveries. Keep them coming. Thanks guys, too bad there is nothing sensational and exciting about the truth. Only one chart I have seen since this started mentioned people who had recovered, just confirmed cases and deaths.
Deaths are investigated and confirmed as to the cause if covid-19 is suspected. There is a very high chance that a LOT of people have had it and recovered nver to have it reported. Because the symptoms are not as evident in people with no prior respiratory issues or a compromised immune system or of a lower age. It is also part of why once more comprehensive testing occurs, confirmed cases go up. It is one of the reasons that the current admin dragged its feet on a proper response. Trump traded American lives for a low reported number of cases. What a guy. Currently the mortality rate of covid-19 is about 1.4%. Pretty low right? That is the total mortality rate. Above 80 it goes up to 13.4%. A little more serious? If it is my Dad that is 88, yeah.
