I realize that.
What we have is a reference point that isn’t iron clad.
We can’t change that. This is all we have.
I do think our government and health care institutions are
trying to keep tabs on what is going on.
In China by contrast, I think they scooped people up and
got rid of them without documentation.
I don’t think that sort of thing will happen here.
As you mention, it’s just impossible to capture all the
data.
What you touch on is what prompted me not to be quite as
critical of China as some others were.
Yes, China hid things and I’m pretty sure they did some
stuff civilized nation’s don’t do. None the less, we know
you can’t capture all the data.
We can’t do it either.
I’ve been trying to tell people that for days now. The “new testing” the CDC is doing isn’t so much to “see where the virus is” but more to “see where resources are needed”. At first glance those may seem to be the same thing but they really aren’t. If all you want to know is where resources are needed you only need a fraction of the testing. IMHO.
