Coronavirus infections may be 10 times higher than reported, CDC says

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that the number of coronavirus infections in the United States could be 10 times higher than reported, totaling over 20 million cases.

“Our best estimate right now is for every case reported, there were actually 10 other infections,” CDC Director Robert Redfield told reporters Thursday.

Redfield said the estimates came from infection surveillance and serology testing, which looks for the presence of antibodies in the blood to show if the person has been exposed to the virus. The CDC focused its early efforts on testing people who were showing symptoms of the coronavirus infection, avoiding those who were asymptomatic and unknowingly transmitting the virus.

“It causes significant asymptomatic infection,” Redfield said. “That's the traditional approach of looking for symptomatic illness and diagnosing it obviously underestimated the total amount of infections.”

Or they may not be.   In fact, they may be a bunch of hooey.  We have no way of knowing.

Sorry.... but I no longer trust ANY government entity, especially not one like the CDC, already proven incompetent, inept and dishonest.... with a vested interest and incentive to over-report Covid-19 cases due to a political agenda.  I'm calling BS on this.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

In other words, mortality rates may be ten times lower than reported.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
