Anyone else give belief to the Stanford Study released a few days ago...
I'm thinking many more have had the virus than knew and total numbers are skewed

The controversies
The studies’ overall findings appeared to align with what scientists had long known: that Covid-19 cases are undercounted both because a shortage of tests means only the sickest patients are tested and because some of those infected never show symptoms.
But they also drew immediate controversy. Protesters advocating for the end of stay-at-home orders latched on to them to argue that the virus is only about as deadly as the common flu and that it is time for the US to reopen for business. Some critics questioned comments by one of the authors of the Santa Clara study, the Stanford medicine and epidemiology professor John Ioannidis, who used the results to promote the controversial view that the coronavirus is “not the apocalyptic problem we thought” and that societal lockdowns were an expensive and potentially deadly overreaction.
