[QUOTE="simme, post: 1656903, member: 40418"] I did a little research on the definition of "recovered" and how that number is determined. Seems that it varies state to state, but generally means that a person has had 3 days of no fever while not taking any fever reducing meds AND has had TWO negative Covid tests separated by at least 24 hours. I assume this is after a previous positive test. Now, how many people that feel better and are on the mend would go get TWO covid tests in order to get themselves added to the "recovered" numbers? Seems to me this is why so few people are officially "recovered". The number is meaningless as best I can tell. A year from now when the "recovered" number is less than 10% of the cases, will we still assume that 90% have not recovered? Why even tabulate and publish meaningless numbers? If anyone has an explanation that makes sense, I could change my mind. But, this "recovered" number just seems bureaucratic (stupid might be a better word). [/QUOTE]
