I just made this point to my husband today. I talked about a number of key factors WAY artificially suppressing two numbers. 1) Number of overall cases, and 2) Number of Deaths. What are these reasons? Let’s go for the obvious dark & dismal one first:

- Trump wants ‘low numbers’ https://twitter.com/craig_a_spencer/status/1248837614389596160
- There are no tests. I think when I calculated yesterday, and even if I consider the lie Pence threw out today, 2M tests (.006 percent of the population tested) and with Birx saying less than half the test results being processed (.003 percent of the population) we know NOTHING.
- W/no tests, many presumed positive patients are told to go home and quarantine (as noted in this thread). They aren’t counted in results.

- There are MANY people in assisted living & elderly care facilities (1000+ in my county alone right now) not tested. Presumed positive.
They also aren’t in the national #’s. Any of them who pass away aren’t in the death toll.

- All of the individuals at home quarantining, at the assisted living homes, who had the DNR by new rules for EMTS, the 400% incease in heart attacks/failure. Don’t count. Won’t be tested.
So, when my husband said “so you think it’s double?” I said no, “Easily quadrupled.” Not exaggerating. There is no coincidence to the astronomical rise in co-morbid deaths, and a caring country would look further, but those who care are overburdened.
