Thought this quote was compelling:
“Our findings suggest that there is somewhere between 50- and 80-fold more infections in our county than what’s known by the number of cases than are reported by our department of public health," Dr. Eran Bendavid, the associate professor of medicine at Stanford University
Which, in some ways, would be great news if true. We DEF need more of these studies done.
I don't understand why this isn't more well known just by anecdotal data from humans. Everyone i talk to is saying "yeah i had a fever for a day and then it went away" "i have body aches and a headache and that was it". But almost every friend i have talked to had some sort of "cold" in the past month or so. I know everyone is hyper sensitive but as soon as people started telling me this stuff i was like wow this is probably infecting way more people then we think. And no one i know is getting tested because their primary care docotor's still say "if you don't have trouble breathing then stay home and self quarantine" don't flood the hospitals.
