This. Also, I failed to mention in my first post that it's been estimated the following:
1. In the US alone, in the magnitude of several hundreds of thousands of people have potentially been sick and undiagnosed and recovered without ever having been to a doctor to be tested.
2. Likewise in a similar vein, those who have gone to the doctor have found an inadequate level of testing kits, and so [initially] less than 1/10 of the people going in for testing actually got tested! Now it's closer to 75%, but you have to take into consideration the inadequate testing in the beginning when comparing numbers!
3. People in California are NOT getting sick like in New York or New Orleans because.... we already had COVID-19... without all this social distancing crap.
So.... when you're getting mortality to recovery rates out of China and other countries who test ALL of their citizens, what you are actually seeing is a 98+% recovery rate. Then you take into account America has a 5% mortality rate right now [WITH] the citizens who have actually been tested..... but has NOT been properly tracking recovered individuals or even done proper testing of citizens; taking this into consideration, it's very obvious the recovery rate is way closer to 98-99%. So if SARS and MERS were deadlier, why is the entire world freaking out over this? Leaves many questions to be answered.
My personal (although unsubstantiated) theory on all this is COVID-19 is a man-made virus that escaped quarantine, and due to the unknown aspects of releasing a man-made virus into the wild, many countries took extra precautions. The reasons I believe this are due to the two whistle-blower scientists who came out in China saying it escaped from a lab, one which later died from COVID-19, then the articles were scrubbed off the internet AFTER I had already shown it to colleges and family. You can still find an article about them warning the public, but the part where they admitted they had a part in creating COVID-19 is erased: Link, Link. I also read another article which said when viewed under CRISPR, COVID-19 showed scaring, signs of genetic altering, and the section added in seemed eerily similar to a section of Ebola thought to do with transmission.
Anyway, none of this really matters because the reality is it's just not as deadly as they [nations of the world] anticipated! I'd like to see the Stay-At-Home orders relaxed. Keep the social distances a couple of months if that helps you sleep at night, but relax the Stay at Home. Just my 2-cents...
