El Qone'ars Regardless of whether they can or not legally. Doesn’t mean the contestants psychology isn’t telling them it’s not real. People can be in real life emergencies that are actually bearing resemblance to a training exercise for such an emergency and it makes people react as if it isn’t real. Air France 2009 crash, pilot error due to this reason. They are on a tv show and know that, I think everyone of them will have some doubts as to the legitimacy of this news. The show definitely couldn’t do this though, you are right. X

[@joaocoimbra1846]

@@TBFSJjunior You looked at what I said and you took what could benefit your argument 😂😂 I said that Trump didnt go out to the press and said with no prior context or knowledge that the death estimate would be around 200k The first estimate (in the millions) they did was before Trump took action. That same estimate dropped to 100-200 thousand after a while. When Trump reffered to the 200k death estimate its clear that Fauci was the one that told him to say that because he came out days before and said "I just dont think that we really need to make a projection when its such a moving target" and then reffered that 100k-200k would be an ideal number compared to the rest of the world and that would most likely happen. When reffering to the 1-2 million estimate he said "Almost certainly off the chart" "Now it's not impossible, but very, very unlikely." Also keep in mind that the estimate was made based on European numbers and here in Europe the death rate is 8.5%, while in America is 3.7% with pretty much the same number of confirmed cases (Numbers from 2-3 days ago)

[@987liss]

Yeah, I'm from Norway, and when the virus spead to our country, doctors were instructed to place a (very strict) disgnosis based on the symptoms. This diagnosis were only to be given when the doctor was entirely sure - if there was ANY doubt then the diagnosis should be abandoned. The government recently collected numbers from 40% of the country's doctors, and the result was 20.200 corona diagnoses. Keep in mind that these are only people with clear symptoms who actually contact their doctor, and the doctor was entirely sure in all of these cases. This would mean that there could be an estimated number of 50k unregistered cases only in Norway. For the record, we have around 3.5k confirmed cases, and a population of 5M, so these numbers are CRUSHING.

[@mikeschannel8403]

also they should mention that the EU has shut down it's extarnal and internal borders for the first time since its creation and in countries like italy and spain, doctors have to choose who will be treated because of the limited resources they've got

[@PineppleSnapback]

There isn't a point to test those that have mild symptoms. It would be a waste of resources as there isn't a need to confirm the illness when the treatment would be the same regardless of the results. In addition, somemeone with mild cases would have to leave their home and potentially infect others around them.
