That "4.5 million" number is being criticized often. All of the numbers are being scrutinized.

Do you buy into everything they peddle?

No, but I thought I'd go high because otherwise sometime would argue I wasn't using the correct numbers.

I think positive pcr tests are now thought to be 40-50% false positives so the number is clearly a lot lower.

My apologies.

No worries, happy to clarify
