How can Americans use good sense about an epidemic about which they are fed false information?

A New York survey in late March suggested two million infections; the official count was 76,000.

Though 150 million total tests given in the U.S. so far, and 1.2 million new tests a day, sounds like a lot, it's not when 330 million Americans can be negative one day and infected the next.

Would its hair be more aflame or less if it acknowledged true cumulative infections are likely between 50 million and 100 million?

A realistic picture would suggest tens of millions of Americans have encountered the virus without fuss.

Unlike the flu, 160 million of us of aren't vaccinated against the new virus.

Germany, once a role model, admits it has been able to trace only 25% of confirmed cases, which probably means 5% of true cases.

Once more India is ahead of us: Its Business Standard newspaper jauntily warned its upscale readers that they can expect to be screened out because "The government does not wish to waste the precious vaccine shots" on millions who already have antibodies the natural way.
