Very true. They could just shove all of the **** into the cave and call it good. Hopefully some folks are happy they are spending time trying to police it so that an informational thread on COVID-19 can exist outside the cave. Maybe it isn't worth it.

You mean confirmed documented cases increase with the increased number of testing. Who would have thought? LOL.
In any event this is good news as heard immunity becomes closer while actual death rates and hospitalizations plummet.

Why coronavirus fears are disproportionate
Comparing the new coronavirus with other viruses shows that panic, especially outside of Wuhan, China, is out of place. The current agitation has more to do with novelty and media attention than with real danger.

Not as a percentage of confirmed cases.

Who cares?! More people are getting very sick with it than ever before. That’s what matters. If we were nearing herd immunity those numbers would be leveling off. This virus is still finding plenty of hosts that it can infect without being fought off.

Positivity in WI has been very high for a month.
