So here's the thing about statistics....comparing two different numbers. One number is relative to the other, in the end.
So with all these tests accomplished in the US for Covid-19, you end with x-number, and then you compare the death count. Well....in the past week....the US reached the point where it's even less than Germany or Japan (don't even bring France in a conversation).
How? Well....some folks say that when several states starting throwing the antibodies test results into the 'bucket'.....that result meant a whole bunch of folks had marginal symptoms and never got officially tested for Covid-19. But they now count for the results. The proper way to count? I tend to question it, but numbers are just numbers in the end.

Given the number of cases that were asymptomatic, it kind of makes the stats a bit irrelevant. No. Of deaths per population will probably be the only really relevant metric worth examining during the wash up.
Down in Italy about a month ago, they went and did the anti-bodies test in some village. NOT everyone volunteered (1st problem). But they probably got around 50-percent of the residents. So out of this, 40-percent were asymptomatic types.
All of this makes you kinda wonder if the whole village had volunteered, you might have reached 50-percent being asymptomatic. This should lead you to three categories...people who won't ever get ill from this....people who have a week or so of mild-to-bad flu situation....then finally the people who really do have a weak immune system (secondary conditions) and ought to be getting top care. This last group is the one I'd worry about.
