My wife is a health care provider in Seattle (meaning that our family has much higher than average exposure risk) and the last few months have been brutal. We've all been sick one way or another since January and have had all the common Covid symptoms. So I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if a test showed I've already had it.
- orblivion 7y agoIf that's true, it seems to me that it would imply that this whole thing is a mass hysteria, at least as applied to the U.S. population, since Seattle would have looked like Italy a month ago.
- dan_quixote 7y agoThe total number of confirmed deaths (~250 in the US) is still incredibly low compared to the normal number of deaths attributed to respiratory problems over the same time range. Anecdotally, I keep hearing from other healthcare professionals about the high number of respiratory-related deaths in hospitals lately - most of which never get tested for Covid. I'd really like to know if there has been a bump in respiratory deaths since January that exceeds the number of Covid cases.
- obmelvin 7y agoSame with Germany - they are likely classifying some sars-cov-2 deaths as from another cause. Not trying to suggest any of this is being done as some sort of cover up - given the circumstance it isn't necessarily possible to definitively say cause of death in all situations.
- obmelvin 7y agoThere's absolutely no evidence to suggest that happened.
