[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 1852117, member: 63925"] I get the numbers but understand they are the numbers that we can actually obtain at this time. We have absolutely no clue how people HAVE been infected with the Coronavirus that have shown symptoms and recovered nor do we have any clue how many people have NOT shown symptoms and recovered all of which were not tested for Coronavirus. This is what is so exasperating to me that the number of people is only known that HAVE been tested to confirm. There is no doubt there are substantially more people out there who either thought they had a cold, flu, allergies, etc and did nothing and recovered. The numbers do show this can be deadly but until we can determine the totality of the population infected, we can never determine the overall magnitude of the threat it poses either more or less. This is the same issue when determining the number of people who are believed to have contracted the flu, recovered and the resulting number of fatalities. Yes the Coronavirus appears to be deadly but almost ~650K die annually globally from the flu. WHY isn't the WHO stating the flu is a worldwide Pandemic with these levels of numbers but they are with 4500 Coronavirus fatalities? The potential may be significantly higher but the end result number should also be a driver in making decisions. Does it matter the % is low but still kills high number of populations? The level of acceptance is what is twisting my shorts right now. Maybe this will be a wakeup call to consider containment of flu outbreaks. I know some schools and some businesses have closed but why isn't our government taking the necessary steps to combat an infectious highly transmittable disease that kills high number of people, causes illness in extraordinary number of citizens, ties up extremely valuable medical resources dealing with people who have contracted it and yes even affects our economy.
