Experts estimate tens of millions of Americans contracted coronavirus but are not included in official tallies because of testing errors, misdiagnoses, a sluggish public health response, and ignorance about the disease during its early days in the U.S.

, CDC Director Robert Redfield said in a news conference on June 25.

When the 45-year-old woke up gasping for air, Talkington thought she might die. She wondered how long it would take people to notice since she lived alone. Sometimes, she hallucinated that her dog lying in bed next to her was dying and that she, a vet, could do nothing to keep him alive.“I travel worldwide quite a bit with my work. I’ve had Zika, Dengue, Malaria,” she said. “This felt very different.

But Talkington doesn’t tell most people what she’s been through. Some relatives and friends have told her they are skeptical she really was so sick for so long. When she runs into people she knows, they often comment on the 20 pounds she lost while ill. “We were put in a double bind — told by the experts that we should not seek help until it was too late, and then due to poor testing or testing too far out, we felt additionally invalidated in our illness ,” wrote Orrick. “This left many of us in a powerless place.”Coronavirus survivor groups have proliferated on social media sites. For some, the posts spark new anxiety about what they might face next.

Accurate and available testing is critical, not only to better treatment for patients like Brumley, but also for tracking, tracing and stopping coronavirus’ spread. If people with COVID-19 can be identified and isolated before they infect someone new, communities can avoid widespread shutdowns, hospitalizations and deaths. Often the virus is spread before people develop symptoms as bad as Brumley’s or without showing any signs of illness at all.

“The results suggest that as many as 1 in 50 people living and working in the Mission could be actively infected with the virus, and that many are likely to be asymptomatic,” the group wrote in its initial report. The challenges that make it easy for Latino workers and families to contract the illness, as well as those that make it difficult for Mission residents to access testing, are the same structural problems that lead to poor health outcomes for many other diseases: low-income, no health insurance or paid leave, high-exposure jobs, crowded homes, and complicated rules about safety-net services for people without permanent residency or citizenship.

In that case, there is currently no spike. Its just those tens of millions now being counted.

Symptoms do not mean u have a virus. I worked in the medical field for 15 years. People had symptoms of heart problems, but their arteries were clean and beautiful. This is the most ridiculous article I have ever seen. Y’all are a joke for even putting this out there.

The number of false results was a problem before now. One of my nurses almost died from COVID-19 and her 2 tests in a hospital where she was a patient were negative. This was in April.

yes coz u can’t get tested for every ENT disease symptom.

More purposeful disinformation to come since trump* is in charge of the numbers and not the CDC. November can’t come fast enough!!!

It’s terrible to spread speculation. Every time someone has disagreed, the argument has been to look at the science... look at the facts. Which is the correct thing to do. Speculation is unethical at this point and what we had in March. Should be focusing on facts alone now.

And others have died of something else and were lumped into Corona deaths.

That's great news! This means the mortality rate is waaaaay below what is being reported And since the flu WITH a vaccine is faaar deadlier than the Coronavirus WITHOUT a vaccine, we can resume normal activities in America

The number of cases cannot be trusted in either direction. Cases are over reported because state aid is based on number cases, and underreported because some people don’t seek treatment. Nobody knows how many cases there are or were and nobody ever will.

Planned obsolescence?
