News this morning that a person in CA died on Feb 6th, nearly 3 weeks earlier than the first infection was previously believed to have occurred.
Since the CoD was unknown an autopsy was performed including blood and tissue samples, and tests returned positive for cv19.
It's been said that, because of a deficit in testing capability, we don't know the mortality rate because we don't know the denominator.
Now it seems we may not even know the numerator.
In NY people are dying suddenly at home at a rate 10 times historical numerical average and they aren't being tested for the virus.
At some more timely point in time those samples will be tested and likely impact total numbers eventually.
Yes impact the numbers even higher in the case fatality rate. I bet my June 2020 $30 oil puts its worse than anyone wants to believe.
