It's interesting that people in this thread tend to believe that the number of people with it is under-reported but the people that die with it is over-reported.
Here's an article that suggests otherwise: https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-pers...lassified-such Quote:

With the addition of those not actually showing high enough levels of antibodies, we might be closer than we think. |

I also won't dispute that the death count is also higher than reported. We'll probably never truly know the numbers on either side. |

My 56 year old coworker is still in the hospital battling COVID PNA, going on day 10. He was given convalescent plasma over the weekend but continues to desat into the 70's, with light activity, even on oxygen. He has no prior health issues but simply waited too long at home before seeking help, IMO. Partly because his 80 year old mother, who is COVID positive, was refused medical care to the hospital 2 weeks ago when she called 911. They told her she "looked fine" and needed to manage at home because the hospitals were full. I convinced him to seek help but it was probably a few days too late.
A pulse oximeter is a MUST to have if you're positive. Even if you feel "decent," continue to check it multiple times per day while you are home. My coworker's name in Joe and he's very Christian. A great man who is honestly struggling for his life right now. I've worked with him for 8 years and he would appreciate any prayers you could give him. |

CDC was at .26 then they moved it up to .65 with no new data after April.
I am going with Ioannidis at Stanford and Oxford CEBM where it will be below .26 overall, less than .1 if you are not in a nursing home. |
