Why is it that it seems like all that gets reported and the attention is the number of infections and the number of deaths?

Usually completely ignoring the second biggest number on the board!

Recoveries!!!!!!

Carson reported yesterday that of those who get the virus 98% survive. Yet very little gets reported.
He also stated that 50% that get it show no or minor symptoms.

Granted in areas like TV the numbers/rates will be somewhat different because of the concentration of over age 65.

I suspect it is easier to control folks when there is a fear factor ever present.
I am not suggesting any changes in actions being put forth to mitigate the spread. Only for a more complete understanding of the actual reality.

The daily death scorecard doesn't do it (for me).
