Mapping the Mortality Maze: How Deadly Is COVID-19?

Why? Because the sickest people are tested first, and many people who are and were infected with COVID-19 are never tested at all.

How did they come up with that number when only 250,000 people tested positive? The CDC monitors people who go to the doctor with influenza-like illness.

Another study at a Boston homeless shelter tested nearly 400 guests, 146 of which tested positive.

Another study on the USS Theodore Roosevelt tested 94 percent of the crew for the virus, with 678 of 4,069 sailors testing positive.

The Stanford researchers tested 3,330 people on April 3 and April 4 at three locations spaced across Santa Clara County - two county parks in Los Gatos and San Jose and a church in Mountain View - to gain a snapshot of how many people in the county already had been infected but weren't seriously sick and didn't realize it.

The mantra of the many for the past month has been testing, testing, testing.

Based on these studies, it is clear that COVID-19 is more prevalent and less deadly than previous testing has shown.
