During the first month of the forced lockdown in New Mexico – March through April – we were discouraged to go to any medical facility – especially ERs – if showing C19 symptoms, to only seek treatment if in really rough shape. If you had a “mild case” of C19 (whatever that means) you were encouraged to quarantine at home and “get better there” (whatever that means).
There were two reasons for this:
1.) If you have a “mild case” (whatever that means) you’d risk getting others sick at medical facilities.
2.) There was a shortage of C19 tests that needed to be saved for the sickest people and frontline workers.
This is fact.
The obvious question:
How are any infection rate, recovery rate, and mortality rate metrics accurate when the initial data population was purposely under reported?
