And then there is selection bias...
There are a lot of people in some economic/cultural sectors who have tested multiple times. Some of them actually think that getting tested, and wearing gloves and several masks, will protect them. Generally nasty gloves, because they don't change them. Same with the masks.
And a large percentage of the people who were tested were actually tested because they were showing symptoms.
So the "positive case" number is way the hell skewed... The truly sick people were the folks who were Really Darn Sick, and so forth.
In addition, a lot of people caught it, and beat it like a red-headed pretend stepchild (have any of you seen the demographics of pornhub lately - it's truly freaky...), and never showed symptoms, never got tested, and so forth.
Here in St. Louis, in the City portion, we're at about 0.167% overall fatalities. And we'll likely remain around that number. Something significantly over 50% were patients in skilled nursing facilities, including hospice facilities, many with Do Not Resuscitate orders on file.
To contrast, murders in STL are at about 0.113%.
I'm guessing we're going to see a significant trough in geriatric mortality over the next year...
