WHO: 10% of world's people may have been infected with Chinese virus.

[DadSmith]

The head of emergencies at the World Health Organization says its “best estimates” indicate that roughly 1 in 10 people worldwide may have been infected by the coronavirus.

If true would that mean the death rate is far below 1%?

Those numbers are.useless and one-sided unless they undertake a massive.capmpaingn that accounts for people like me that had it and doctors didn't know what I had till almost 2 years later when I was tested and already had the antibody

I think we have located Patient Zero!

I do agree though that they may very well not know how many people have gotten sick and then better without reporting.

They have zero idea. I had it and never went for help. Found out later at the Drs having tests done. Antibody's in the blood. Yeah I was sick but no one outside the family had any idea nor did I.

I imagine that was a pretty common experience.

I am curious if they added you to the count because of the antibodies.

Nope. My Dr is very realistic and is with the masses that this is way off the reservation.

Edit.....In thinking about this what they did after I left I have no idea.

Good point.

I have no faith at all in anything the WHO says. They helped China cover this whole thing up for months.

So, does this mean the virus is a success or a failure?

They definitely reported it as a number.

It's a success if it's able to sustain like the common cold, it's a failure of it kills its hosts before they can transmit it to others.

We are guessing it was sept aug of 2019 that I had it. I thought I had the flu and went in to get put on Tamiflu, they tested me for flu, pneumonia and it all was negative...my doctor scratched his head and didn't know what to think and chalked it up to I probably had some cold virus.. symptoms were textbook covid but my case was very mild, the only caveat was the fatigue and pneumonia like symptoms held on for about a month

Were you in China? There is 0.0 chance you had it here back in September unless you were walking around Wuhan. Tracking this has been a major part of my job for a while now, and the company I work for takes it very serious. My ceo was one of the task force members.

I had similar problems same thing Dr tested me for the same problems. My symptoms begin in late November 2019 I didn't fully recover until late February this year. I worked outside all winter thinking it was bronchitis. Dr treated me with Z-Pak and steroids. For about 2 months. Come to find out that combo actually works for the Chinese virus too. It was bad enough to weaken me but not stop me from working.

Omigosh!
If Tango wasn't in China, then there's another virus out there that mimics Covid 19.
Or, Covid existed before we thought it did.
Or, the Covid antibody tests are not completely accurate.

Or, more logically (assuming his antibody tests WERE accurate) he had it AFTER he thought he had it, and his case was so mild he ignored it

Well you need to adjust your attitude and stop being so snotty mister!
