I know this may be crass but I also think those that are highest risk and not properly protected are dead already.
Funny how neither of you suggested it due to the higher test rates.
How are the passive measures keeping the death rates down but not the positive diagnosis? Shouldn't those passive measures reduce the positive results not increase them?? If the virus is going to kill you wearing a mask before or during the illness is not going to reduce the probability of you dying.
