We need to be thankful that this virus is not fatal in children. If this was as bad with children as it is with the victims thus far, this would truly be a catastrophe and millions upon millions would die.

He's talking about the source of the tweet, not exactly what Birx said.
Unless I heard Birx wrong, the SK quote was saying that 4% of people tested with symptoms came back Wuhan coronavirus positive. Which.. doesn't sound right but okay. |

In that case, the source of the tweet is a journalist reporting news. There’s no more reason to doubt her than any other journalist. Especially when the source of the report is a public statement subject to easy verification.

Is she saying we shouldn't worry because the positive rate is so low? This depends a lot on their testing strategy. My understanding is they were testing a lot of asymptomatic people who had contacted patients. The more patients you test with mild symptoms the more your positive rate will decrease |

It’s also why crying about more testing for anyone that wants it is largely pointless. What they announced today with an online guideline and where you can get the tests will hopefully mitigate the amount of people taking the test assuming it is clear in what and what doesn’t require a test. |
