I think you're looking at the numbers wrong. Recovered requires two negative tests after a positivetest. This is nothing but a quirk of the stats process. You're reading way too much into it. 97-98% of those people will be recovered.
And it doesn’t in the other countries?

No, what I’m trying to figure out is why the numbers are so lopsided compared to other countries.
Even Fauci is saying now 60k is around the most we'll lose, and if you've been paying attention that number keeps going down

Got it.

I think over the next few months we’re going to learn a heck of a lot about this whole mess.

I suspect tests will be blamed, maybe they have false positives because the tests were so thrown together?

I’m expecting to learn a lot about the ineptness of our system in the coming months.

No idea if we are even following through with extra tests of people who test positive and self quarantine. Most of these people who were sick 2 weeks ago should be in the recovered group but they aren't. Every country has different testing policies.

On another board a smart guy has been tracking these numbers worldwide and that recovered number has always been wheels off. I don't think they're accurately reported or even defined from state to state, much less country to country.

Also just an observation, Angry seems eager to find every fault and negative with the US.

But how accurate is their testing when we are seeing reports of the tests they get from China are defective? Are they counting numbers before they found out about the faulty tests?

Yeah I've noticed that too

Fascist orders like this serve no purpose, this is just Dems flexing their power-

This is what they are banning-

You back people into a corner with draconian rules that make no sense don't be surprised when they revolt

You see people on TV and think... Nah, that can't be real. Nobody could be this stupid. It has to be a set up. But then you see some people pushing the same type of narrative here and realize, that holy shit... People really can be this dumb.

If anything in the world goes wrong it's Trump's fault. It's fascinating how that works.

And if you voted for him -- or against the "elite" -- you deserve to have your relatives die.

Yeah. The guy has his faults. All Presidents do. And there is no arguing that he isn't a bully that enjoys badgering people. And that certainly isn't Presidential. But he is not nearly as bad as the left and their sheep would have you believe. And has done a pretty good job. If he would only stop tweeting and thinking he has to get the last word in. But, I digress...

I doubt we will ever have a President again that will appease both sides and the stupidity will subside. Presidents have always dealt with some snark from the other party, which is understandable, but it really started to take off with Bush and continued with Obama. But even those two didn't have to deal with a fraction of what Trump has. This has really gotten ridiculous. I sincerely hope that the right doesn't try to pull the ignorant bullshit we've seen over the last few years on the next Democrat President. This my team/your team idiocy has to stop. And it's pretty much been proven by the left these last few years that they aren't going to be the ones to do it.

Does he think the "elites" have acquitted themselves well in this crisis? Fauci, as late as March 9, was telling people it was safe to go on a cruise. And don't even get me started on the "elites" at WHO.

It's turned into a damn sporting event where each team is just trying to win at the sacrifice of the people. I wish everyone could take off the D or R once elected and just do what's best for everyone.
