Keep Dreaming
Your point??
Don't you find it interesting that 1,440,741 cases minus 83,082 deaths is 1,357,659 yet only 237,256 have recovered since January?? Where did the other 1,120, 403 go? Mars?

The data misrepresents reality. First, CDC suspects that there have been been tens of thousands who never got a test who may have had the virus. It could have also been the flu but we'll never know. Second, I find it very hard to believe that over 1 million are still sick after several months. That means the recovered number is probably 5 times higher. In simple math terms 94% of the reported cases have had the virus and recovered.
