[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]German cases increased 25% today.

200 new cases, 1018 total.[/quote]

And zero deaths. That is the critical factor. [/quote]

That is encouraging. Thanks for sharing that. These threads have me increasingly anxious.[/quote]

Sorry to give you a different point of view.

Reddit is full of German posters decrying the strict testing policies in most (not all) areas of Germany.  They are completely incredulous that there are zero deaths in Germany.  People who were admitted to the hospital with pneumonia without having been tested are being recorded as flu deaths.  Unlike Spain, Germany has done no retrospective testing of untested pneumonia deaths. [/quote]

How many recent elderly pneumonia deaths in the US do you think may have been covid19? [/quote]

This. I think it has been widespread in the US for months  and they did not test so they could blame it on the flu. They know people would not panic with the flu because they would have felt safer with a flu shot. Perhaps all these flu deaths they have been telling us about were really coronavirus deaths and elderly people could have been saved if they knew to isolate at home. People were traveling back in forth from China in December and it would have gotten here fast. I think the US is responsible for not testing sooner and given those at risk a better chance to save themselves.[/quote]

If it has been widespread in the US for months, we would have heard about it. The hospitals, and particularly ICUs would have been overwhelmed and death rates would have soared. Deaths from flu are all tracked as well. There would have been a major health crisis given the 20% hospitalization rate - most with significant respiratory problems.  [/quote]

Hospitals in the US are stating they've had an unusually high rate of admission for Pneumonia. Said it was a 'very bad flu season, etc' but 'many people are getting false negatives for flu'[/quote]

Yes. They have been telling us the past two months that there has been a second wave of a bad flu. Lots of people with pneumonia etc. It was probably coronavirus all along.[/quote]
