So? That doesn't change the point whatsoever. Multiply whichever percentage by 1/5.

- thephyber 7y ago“The point” is an unconfirmed assertion that has been circulating for weeks. While there’s likely some truth to it, you can’t blindly assume that the 20% of the population that are asymptomatic are evenly distributed across the age spectrum.’t be so quick to write off your comment’s parent. Hypothetical: it’s possible that the 70+ Demographic is much more likely to have pre-existing conditions (diabetes, scarred lungs, heart disease) which makes COVIS19 symptoms more likely to appear.
- _bxg1 7y agoI'm not saying the CDC needs to go take my rough guess as fact and run with it. I'm saying that what the parent comment pointed out is completely tangential to it.
- koheripbal 7y agoNo, that's wrong math. You cannot assume only the worst 20% have gone to get tested. In China, there are plenty of people dying AT HOME.
