Last night in Brownwood Square it was blooming there had to be 200 people on the dance floor everyone was enjoying themselves and having a great time. If you want to stay home if you wanna wear your mask by all means do so but leave us who don’t think like you alone. We will be going to the restaurants, we will be going to the town squares, we will be enjoying life without the worry of catching the virus. And if I see you in the town square or walking the street I will be very proud to shake your hand. By the way don’t feel sorry for me and I don’t wanna hear your ridiculous argument about how we don’t know what the long-term effects are even if we recover.

Except they still think that several times more people have had it than have tested positive. The last number I heard was 6 to 10 times more. So take the 2% rate and divide by 6 (0.33%). However, there are certainly a lot of people who have it that are not yet recovered so the number is still in flux. And still one more point - there's been a lot of treatment improvements so it's hard to mix in a mortality rate in April and apply that to November. One could suggest if someone is doing that math to look at rates for the past 3 months rather than the entire duration.
