This Odd Corona Statistic

This got thrown around today, and it's an interesting number.  Right now (at least from data of this week)....there is ONE single German for each 18,334 Germans....who has the active Coronavirus. 

Yes, that's it.

The Allianz Arena in Munich can hold 75,000 fans.  So I could fill the stadium up, and on the field would be four folks represent the active virus group.  That's it.

Shutting down, in the face of this statistic?  That probably starts a long discussion and represents a value that you can't get your hands onto. 

The other side of this story?  Germany never went to forced testing.  So the number of active carriers, but showing no real symptoms?  Well....it might really be one active carrier for every 990 people.  But without complete testing.....it's a false statement. 

Added onto this burden....the question of why so many might be in active status but showing no symptoms starts to rise up and beg more questions. 

Just something to think about.
