Also, the CDC records any positive topical detection of Coronavirus as a case. A case does not equate to an illness from the virus and is a measure easily misinterpreted. A rise in cases is a function of increased testing. That’s all.
The CDC website states that “a positive [COVID-19] result could mean that you have antibodies from an infection with a virus from the same family of viruses (called coronaviruses), such as the one that causes the common cold.”
This is also contributing to the rise of infections!
