What Bae means is, only reported cases count. The people who are asymptomatic and have no idea they have covid don't count. The mildly symptomatic who think they just have a cold and don't get tested don't count. The people who suspect they have covid but can't take off work don't count. The people who are sick but figure it must be the flu because they already had covid don't count. The kids whose parents don't test them because who would watch them when they can't get off work don't count. My former classmate who has had covid twice per home tests but won't report them to the government because he doesn't want to be in their database doesn't count. Only cases the government knows about and counts matter.
Interesting how the fearmongers work. Earlier it was covid is much more prevalent than reported - be scared. Now that everyone is getting it, the story has changed to it's overcounted. Whatever narrative will induce panic, paranoia, and most importantly compliance with the dictates of a medical pharma industrial complex is the one they'll go with.
The fear must stay in place until a vaccine for little kids is rolled out - there's some money to be made vaxxing them. With the Supreme Court stopping the employer mandate adults are a dead end. So once the kiddie vaccines are rolled out we can get back to normal - until the next overhyped pandemic.
