limited testing increases perceptions of lethality

Your ASSumption that everyone agrees is simply more feldercarb. Not only is your conclusion flawed, your premise looks like a piece of swiss cheese.

it's just a truth that lack of testing obscures true survival/lethality rate. even owlwoman agreed with that.

she added the trump/cruiseship issue as a distraction.

Oh, that was no distraction, my dear. That was truth -- pointing out my speculation that perhaps the inadequate numbers of test kits is deliberate on the part of the #COVID-45 administration. I used his very own words to illustrate why the number of positive cases in the U.S. was so important to the gibbering cretin. He wanted low numbers. Not because he gives a shit if you die, or if I do. He wants them because higher numbers make him look like the inept fool that he is. I think that most ppl are good at heart and hope to the gods that he is not *that* self-serving, but history casts doubt on my optimism.

If you want real science, then you need to get everyone tested. Only then can you begin to calculate the true lethality of this virus. Even then, the data in a given country may not be precise because much depends on the infrastructure available to the population being tested. Areas with poor access to medical care -- or no medical care as in some locations -- are obviously going to have more deaths per capita than a location with better care. The same is true with hot spots like NYC currently, where excellent medical facilities are nearby but are overwhelmed by the sheer volume of ppl needing them.

trump and the ship are a totally different issue, ya crone.

it's just a truth that lack of testing hides true survivability rates.

Well, since neither MissOwl or myself are blind followers of the "Orange Mental Midget", she and I are allowed to have differing opinions.

Trump is always about "the numbers". He incorrectly believes that if it looks good, it is good. Very shallow thinking, however, tRUMP is very shallow.
 
As testing becomes more common, the statistical lethality of the virus drops. If we had universal testing, the death rate would be similar to the flu.

why so little testing?

the ptb don't want it known how many people have this and survive.

the lethality measure increases if they only test people when they're already bad enough to have to go to the hospital.

very simple.

the test scarcity is a fabricated problem, made for this reason.

discuss.

Think so?

If we had universal testing, we would know who is infected and who is not. We would know how and where it is being spred. We could be proactive in treating those exposed to asymptomatic persons. We could pro-actively quarantine the asymptomatics and decrease the spred of the disease.

Who gives a fuck about the statistical lethality?

Fucking moron.
