And I ain’t trying to argue with you, but it seems clear we are forging on, smart or not.

That was then, this is now. Back in March I knew dozens with all the symptoms who never tested. Now, the untested positive is likely rarer.

Agreed. But c.f. Every day my state reports something like "20 new deaths, 12 of which were from public records." I take that to mean they looked at death certificates that didn't say Covid, but based upon something they realize it likely was. So now you got deaths added in without the corresponding positives. The numbers are really not too reliable.
