At least 655 Roosevelt sailors have now tested positive, including one death and multiple hospitalizations, out of a total crew of a about 4,800. It's startling that the Navy has found that out of over 600 COVID-19 infected sailors, the majority have displayed no symptoms. Testing is about 95% complete on the entire crew since the ship was diverted to Guam last month amid a spiraling crisis on board.
“With regard to COVID-19, we’re learning that stealth in the form of asymptomatic transmission is this adversary’s secret power,” Rear Admiral Bruce Gillingham, surgeon general of the Navy, told reporters.
The Navy specified that 60% of the Roosevelt's positive cases "so far have not shown symptoms". Crucially, Reuters points out that the "figure is higher than the 25% to 50% range offered on April 5 by Dr. Anthony Fauci".
I personally think that the Chrojan Virus is what it is, an unintentional lab leak (that does not mean to say that there was no future intent when the beast was perfected (it being wip) and the population ceiling limit was hit e.g. 8bn, 9bn) of an enhanced/cocktail of existing virus molecular components, hence the viruses tool set and double barrelled MO. I also think that the future intent was to change the world in many ways and because China has the worlds largest population they would fair better from the event than most in the end! And, what if China already has a vaccine? Is that possible, any high ranking CCP members die.

If it’s to be believed, then the elephant in the room is Putin
TD said "Neither China nor the US released this bioweapon. A third party wanted the 2 countries to blame the other."
Which you might think would be Russia, but he said it was Deepstate. Two issues with this, first that any Deep state to have power requires a military force to back them up, so whose military do they use as a proxy.
And second, if humble TennisDawg knows all this then surely the Chinese and US govts know this also? So wouldn't they be working together on this?
Also, anyone know what Astr0's info was back n 2014?
These numbers from Thailand I find to be amazingly low, knowing Thailand very well, having previously had my own company there for 10+ years and other business interests as well as residing there for that length of time and still do end June-Sept every year during the Spanish school summer holidays (10 weeks). I was expecting the numbers to sore but according to what recorded numbers have been published this appears not to be the case, or they are doing a China.

Another Ho Hum report from Thailand: 2,700 total cases since the start on Jan. 13, 28 new cases, 47 total deaths,
.07 deaths/million pop. Compare this with UK d/m: 215, Canada: 35
Leaders of the 10 ASEAN Nations held a teleconference/webinar recently to discuss Covid-19. Vietnam has done remarkably well with only 268 total cases with no deaths at all. They were quick and decisive in their response to the outbreak. Concerns arise about Singapore which seemed to have the virus under control, then eased up a bit on containment measures, and now is suffering a resurgence.
Looks like Thai leaders will learn from this and continue the lockdown at least until the end of April despite the economic consequences.

I couldn't agree more. Is there some other weird factor that impacts the indiscriminate nature and its effects on particular nations populations because the numbers are so wildly different and just don't appear to add up.

When the first case outside of China appeared here in Thailand, I thought we would be in for a very rough time. Millions of Chinese tourists visit here every year so it seemed likely that many would carry the contagion . To me it does seem puzzling that the virus has been contained so well.
It's always possible that some countries will fake their numbers so I have looked for evidence of that happening here but I haven't seen any. You probably know that Thais are avid users of social media and love to comment on any scandal or misdeed but nobody is saying the hospitals are overrun. People have easy access to care when they need it.
I'm starting to realize that this society over the centuries, has developed ways of dealing with challenges that are remarkably effective. They are very familiar with storms, floods, drought and other disasters and they respond as a community, everyone pitching in and proud to do so.
We have seen a lot of messages congratulating and celebrating the efforts of medical workers including the semi-volunteer health groups working in most villages.
Now I feel puzzled about what has gone so terribly wrong in western nations including Canada where my kids and grandkids are.

Just a thought : What percentage of people in Thailand wore a mask, would you think ?
Just a rough guess on what you have seen around you would be fine.
China, South Korea, and Japan, have all been used to wearing masks for quite some time, as does a lot of Asia, I suppose.
That helps to prevent spread from infected people, even lightly infected people.
Over here, in Europe at least, Masks were not available in enough quantities even for medical staff, so they have been prevented from being the norm.
Even now, at the supermarket, I still see more than 50% without any masks, or face coverings, or any type of glove.

Quercetin absolutely works as a Zinc ionophore, alongside things like EGCg and Hydroxy Chloroquine. Quercetin and EGCg, however, are things that can be pretty darn good for other things too.
Same here in Spain, I go to the supermarket for 1 hour every two weeks and family is locked down, half have masks, me included & gloves, and half do not and get gloves provided at the door. Maybe one of the reasons is people in Spain did not wear masks. I remember going to town about 4-5 weeks ago and nobody had masks on then we had the lockdown order.

We see people wearing masks at nearly 100% level. Twice I have gone into a shop only to realize that I had left my mask in the car. It's a breech of social etiquette now so I felt embarrassed at being perceived as an inconsiderate foreigner.
Workers in stores also have gloves and often have face shields now.
On entering a building someone is there to take one's temperature and hand sanitizer is available everywhere.
Personally I don't like to wear a mask but I do it to be cautious. When two people are interacting and both are wearing masks there must be a substantial degree of mutual protection although it's probably not perfect.
Clarified: My best guest would be an infection rate of 10% of a nations population and a death rate of 5% of the recorded infections in a nation where there is a health service. But impacted by factors like mask and glove usage, and other environmental factors!

I realize this is probably not a very accurate way to calculate but it does make me wonder just how many cases there may be if everyone were tested. Here in the US there are 707,000 positive cases out of 3,574,000 tested, which makes 19.78%.
So if 350,000,000 were tested at 19.78%, that would leave 69,230,000 infected. Do you think this could be anywhere close?
The lack of testing is still the what makes me wonder just how widespread this may be.
