Let this sink in.....US population around 330 million.........
Total number of Covid 19 cases so far in the US 3.3 million.

That means only 1% of the population has tested positive for Covid 19.
Make what you want of it . ??

42 million tests have been performed.   Who knows how many have been tested multiple times or got sick later long after being tested.

Dont forget, if a single person is tested postive fives times, that counts as five cases.  Not one case.

CDC estimates 20-30M total cases so far, we never get every case tested in these large outbreaks.

I predict 70+% get it over the next few years. It's part of cold and flu season now.

Not sure if that was sarcasm, but some definitely are - many places have a rule that you need "x number" of negative tests after contracting it before you're allowed to return to whatever activity, such as work.  Whether or not those count as unique "cases", not sure.  The stats site that is used by my county and state has metrics for cases, and then metrics for PCR tests (pos/neg), and separate antibody (pos/neg).  Regardless, much heavy breathing I've seen in news articles has stemmed from the rise in number positive test results, based on the graphs cited.  Rarely is the % of positive tests out of all tests performed used as a metric...I suspect that is because it's been relatively flat in most areas.

Positive cases are submitted to the state health departments with identifying information.

Lol, why? Unless you're an 80 year old diabetic with heart and lungs issues your chances of dying are about the same as getting in a fatal car wreck.

You do know about 70% of the population is going to eventually get it right? All we're doing is stretching it out the anxiety to infinity.

I would wager slightly higher.  I know people firsthand that are so fearful that I don't believed terrified would be an exaggeration.

It will be interesting to see what happens with mask mandates.  Will the mandates carry on forever and be enforced or will it end up like speed limits?

My dad is 79, perfectly healthy with zero comorbidities in a hospital fighting for his life from COVID-19. He had the flu last year and brushed it off. Were it not for COVID, he would be home enjoying life. Now he is fighting for it. You don't know if you'll be one of the few who gets really hit by this virus. It is rational to want to avoid it.

The Spanish Flu, the worst pandemic in modern history, infected 33% world wide over several years. There is no way COVID is going to hit 70%. I'd be surprised if it hits 33%.

LoL.  You should not speak on things you know nothing about.  It takes a minimum of two negative swabs to come back to work in the ER here if you test positive.  So a positive swab means you are gong to be swabbed a minimum of 3 times, and get antigen testing.

...........and don't forget that of those who develop Covid-19 symptoms the survival rate is 98%+.  Many of the positives never have any symptoms at all.  We only know of 3 people in our circle of acquaintances who have tested positive and they never had any symptoms whatsoever, much less be hospitalized.

Most people that I know, who have been tested, have taken multiple tests. Especially the people who test positive.

Also, many employers are testing all employees every time there is an incident. Those people are getting multiple tests too.

At least three counties in NC are using the same process as Texas.  I can’t speak for the rest of the state, but I know first hand that at least three counties in NC are not counting multiple positive tests from the same person as multiple positive cases.

It's not the number of cases that is worrisome.  It is the number of patients that meet criteria for inpatient hospitalization due to low O2 sats and shortness of breath.  Our hospital is running pretty high, and that is besides people that are in for normal stuff (surgery, kidney stones, COPD exacerbation, cardiac issues, infections, etc)  They are putting out a call for extra nurses as of yesterday.

All that’s required for return to work here is 14 days from a positive test.   No mandated testing upon return to work at the hospital.

Says who? There's no way to actually know any real #'s. All I can say for sure is this was planned years in advance and it's a multi faceted agenda, as usual. Experts, studies, graphs, charts, cases, and especially anything on the TV or mainstream social media is all lies. The CDC, WHO and the media cannot be trusted. For all we know there's only 1 monkey that has it in a lab or 4 billion people are infected or it doesn't exist at all or the worse version will hit this fall.  Who the F knows.

They are. For example, before a Covid patient can be discharged from hospital to nursing home, they must have 2 negative tests in a row. Had a guy stay in icu without symptoms for about 43 days. That’s 43 positives in one man. Btw, 85 and beat it.

I believe the state is trying to do this. But when a person can go to a pop-up tent, a TXMedClinic, then CVS, I don't believe the state is nearly efficient enough to sort and consolidate all of these. There are just too many testing facilities now, with too many people wanting to have the highest number of cases possible.
