    Add to that the directive from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to count any death tangentially related to COVID-19, and you have to wonder if that number actually holds. That directive reads, “COVID-19 should be reported on the death certificate for all decedents where the disease caused or is assumed to have caused or contributed to death.” (The emphasis in bolding is theirs.)

    Yeah, I'm sure the death totals are being under-counted.

    The irony is that understating earlier deaths (in Feb and early March) puts more credence to the fact that it was everywhere before anyone thought, which increases the amount of people that have been infected and recovered and eliminates them and countless others that they came into direct contact with from the future potential death pool in the models.

    The antibody tests for working people could make sense as a strategy to lift the economy. Obviously we would all be happy to learn that we'd already had it.

    Thank you, but unnecessary. It is its own reward.

    #3 has four five fouls....he's disqualified from today's AAU game.

    OH...and the coach looked at the referee funny...that's a Technical - you're out of the tournament.

    Most likely scenario is that they were under reported early on and are being over reported now.

    You've been to AAU tourneys, I see.
