Colorado Governor Jared Polis tests positive for COVID-19
Colorado Governor Jared Polis on Saturday announced that he and his partner, Marlon Reis, have both tested positive for covid-19 and are asymptomatic. ’Marlon and I are feeling well so far, and are in good spirits,’ Polis said. ’No person or family is immune to this virus. I urge every Coloradan to practice caution, limit public interactions, wear a mask in public, stay six feet away .....’
I would argue that the mortality rate is even much lower than what it actually is. CDC says 40% of people are asymptomatic. So, of the people that get covid and don’t even know, and don’t get tested because they don’t have symptoms, means that they are void from the totals. I would estimate that they are millions of people who have had it, and not known and we would be none the wiser. People under the age of 65 have a 1 in 300,000 chance of dieing. This is from cdc.
More grandstanding on a virus thats mortality rate has not changed.
Another false positive
Does the flu kill a quarter of a million Americans every year?
Marlon is cute.
