re: #240 Welcome to The Imbleachment (dangerman)

im looking at the worldometers site

they’ve got columns for united states (among others)

total cases 1299772
total deaths 77559
total recovered 219485
leaving
active cases 1,002,728

if they’re not hospitalized, does anyone know how or even if all the ‘active’ cases are being tracked and/or resolved ?

I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of the “unresolved” cases are people who actually recovered. If someone is diagnosed but can be treated at home, the final results may never be reported for the official records.

The remaining Diamond Princess cases are somewhat troubling. This is an instance where people would actually be carefully tracked — and, after over 2 months, 54 cases remain active and 4 remain in serious/critical condition. So what does it take to be considered recovered?
