As of this morning, 4/20, the CDC count is 760,000 people have, at some point, tested positive. If the count is off 50 fold then the true positive count is at least 38 million. If off 85 fold then 64.6 million. Why is this important? Two reasons, first it means we may be approaching "herd" immunity without which we'll never get off this merry go round. Second, it means the true death percentage from positive cases may very well be .1% to .2% and not 5, 8 10, or what ever number you see in the media.

Why is the CDC not doing relative population testing across the country. Within a week, we would have enough data to extrapolate and corroborate these findings. Relative testing is something the CDC does all the time. Why not now?
One "could" conclude (right or wrong), those that govern find value in fear factor retention.
