@UntimelyDhelmise I believe the idea is that covid 19 can reinfect you and cause long term effects so it is better to avoid getting it than to get it now and end up with brain damage or something. Now im not sure if that is true or just the media causing hysteria but I cant find any source disproving it. It all seems pointless to me however if asymtomatic spread is not a big factor since sick people dont usually go out in public. the WHO
said that asymptomatic spread is rare but retracted the claim so IDK what the consensus is on that. IMO treating others with paranoia is bad most of the time.
can anyone explain how exactly the increase in testing causes more cases?
This article says that the number of cases is accelerating even with testing taken into account which could be because more people are outside. But honestly im not sure if it matters since hospitals should have had enough time to prepare. but people I know say they are being overrun again.
