Video number 34 of the channel talking about two quick things today. Last week I discussed the first well confirmed case of SARS-COV-2/COVID-19 re-infection in Hong Kong and talked about how it was asymptomatic and that that might be good news ( A mere day after that was posted, there were reports of a re-infection in Reno, Nevada where the secondary infection was more severe. So I discuss that here. This week there has also been a meme going around that the “CDC admitted that only 6% of the USA death toll is from COVID”. This is just plainly incorrect, so I’m talking about that a bit here as well, trying to explain why it’s wrong.
