[QUOTE="simme, post: 1656721, member: 40418"] I have always been confused on the "recovered" number. I assume that the "total cases" are based on the number of positives from a covid test. I assume the actual number of cases is much larger since many people do not get tested or else test negative when they have many of the symptoms. But, the "recovered" number is what I don't understand. It would seem that the number of "recovered" would be those who had tested positive and no longer have symptoms of the virus or are not being treated for the virus. But the reported number of "recovered" in each state seems to always be a small percentage of the cases. About 6% in the numbers above for Rhode Island. This would indicate that 94% of those that have/had the virus are either dead or still sick (have not recovered) with the virus. We know that the % of deaths is relatively low. So, what is the status of the 92% that have not "recovered"? It seems that most people I know that have had the virus are "recovered" in a week or two. I just can't make the reported numbers work for "recovered". Can anyone explain how "recovered" is calculated? [/QUOTE]
