Well if we have a lot of false positives then the mortality rate is higher. Makes sense considering the flu almost never requires you to go on a ventilator, and this does, maybe the cases where it doesn't are the false positives. Maybe all these asymptomatic "carriers" are all just false positive cases. It just seems odd that a disease that sends young people onto a ventilator also only has an 8% mortality rate on old people.
Now that would really be an argument for less worry. We've all been told this is a creeping disease you can't observe until it's too late. What if there are no asymptomatic people. They were just false positives.
Or we are all lying to ourselves because the truth is that this disease is going to suck. 8 million phone users disappeared in China. Still not worth letting the fed print money for their friends. Many of us will die. Life will go on. And we won't be slaves to any bank. If we know what's good for us.
