That would require more testing than we've had the capability to do. I don't understand downplaying the significance of testing and at the same time complaining that there isn't enough definitive evidence.
My insufficient evidence concerns actual COD. My point is that the more people that can be found tested as positive, the more "evidence" for "mitigation" and "suppression" there is. So it makes sense to then slow the spread and keep people at home, even in the face of the inaccurate COD count.
Spreading illness out over time absolutely lessens casualties for a new virus if we learn about the virus and what meds help and which don't. Even more if we develop a vaccine.
In the meantime we're all "on hold" until the "experts" learn more about the virus. I am completely unconvinced a vaccine will be discovered, ever. As for meds that help, that apparently depends on who is advocating them.
And, CNN ? is still being its irresponsible self:
[HEADLINE] Doctors in Italy make a link between Covid-19 and rare 'Kawasaki-like' inflammatory disease in children
[GRAF TWELVE] "The study had some limitations, including that it was conducted among patients in Bergamo, Italy. More research is needed to determine whether similar findings would emerge among a much larger sample of people from other regions around the world."
[GRAF WAY DOWN THE PAGE] "This multisystem inflammatory syndrome
is not directly caused by the virus(!)," Burns told CNN. "The leading hypothesis is that it is due to the immune response of the patient."
(Burns is a "critical care specialist at Boston Children's Hospital who has been coordinating a global group of doctors who compare notes on the condition.")
