They should be testing these recovered folk. The have antibodies that could be used to save others- they could be asked- and I do mean asked- not commanded- if they would like to donate some plasma.

Well we can only look at what the numbers tell us and not make assumptions. Worldwide we have over 600,000 who tested positive and of that 24,000+ in critical condition. Close to 450,000 have mild cases but are still infected and results are not known yet. It's not just critical cases that are in the hospital but some of the 450,000 as well. Even if we take the best possible outcome from the individuals who have tested positive we have over a 4.5% death rate. Much higher than what we've been told.

The major factor for the high number of deaths compared to the number of cases is only the sick are being tested, unless of course you are rich.
If more test were available, the death percentage would drop. Thank Trump
for the lack of tests available.

The numbers are skewed. They obviously are not tracking the survivors.

What you are asking is that people who tested positive then lived would have to be retested to lower the rate of positive tests.

I don't see people rushing to confirm that they are alive after a certain amount of time.
