#2 To be fair Nev."may" have gotten a bad batch like Atlanta did about 2 months ago. Where unused tests kits were sampled and found to produced False Positives.

The Industry has had to acknowledge FALSE Positive issues ranging from 16% to 31%, depending of the lot and batch produced.

Note: An estimated 14+ million of these quick detection tests were produced and a majority already used. So pick a ##% and apply it to the 7,528,313 that the CDC reported infected as of 10-08-20.

2.8% is the "claimed" overall mortality Rate out of the 7,528,313 "claimed" to be infected out of 342,000,000 in the USA as Oct.08th, 2020.

So the odds work out to 0.0617345029239766% in our USA Population of 342,000,000, possibly dying from C-19.

BTW: Cancer beats out C-19 ... 3 to 1 easily.

#4 Test more * false positives = Find more.

Is the infection % rate of a truly random selection of people changing?

#6 Watsonville is in Santa Cruz County California

Latest ChiFlu stats for Santa Cruz CO:
Population 273,213
Total ChiFlu cases 2,552
Total deaths attributed to ChiFlu: 19

yeah, that's right: 19 deaths in a population of 273,213.

Not even one in 15,000. Not even close to a normal flu season
