    No you're reading what you want in to it. Here bro, this is how ACCUweather reports it.

    Global
    Confirmed 720,117

    Recovered 149,082

    Deaths 33,925

    ACTIVE 537,110

    Countries 177

    So lemme ask you, when the MSM, you and the other forum folk refer to COVID-19 what number is most popular with you and them ;)

    Yet again you are confused. Why do you think a specific number is "popular" with me. I don't give a fly f about total vs active as I'm still going to go about my life being safe. It seems people like you are concerned about how things are termed. Capiche?

    Well that's obvious ;) My point being, MANY here and in the media don't use the current infected because its more sensational to center discussion around the total infected so far! Not many, including yourself offer the entire range of facts associated with this virus.. It's always the TOTAL infected world and country wide with little to know mention of survival and the TOTAL number that reflects those folks..

    Maybe now you and some of the other will recognize this when posting and use the corresponding facts in regards to the current total infected..

    I have my doubts though :)

    Yeah...knowing the total that have been infected doesn't send me into a tailspin as it does you. Whatever.

    Again you read more in to this of me then what you need to :) But you make my point! Clearly the total is far more relevant to you then recovered or actual total infected :) And therein is the biggest difference in you and I.. I prefer to take the positive and the negative view of this and clearly you don't ¯\_(º¸º)_/¯

    Once again you're confused. I don't get tweaked over the total vs current total numbers like you seem to. The only number I give a crap about is the number of those who've died. THAT number is relevant and bothersome to me. But you can keep making a big deal about total vs current total all you like. Enjoy.

    They can. They just don't make as much money doing that.

    Dancing around numbers is bullshit

    You're trying to say that there is nothing to worry about and we should go back to normal lives.

    That's clearly horse **** so just stop.

    I don’t get why this is causing such a GD semantical stir. Is anyone saying the total infect numbers are being reported as the active case number? Anywhere? Starting to think this comes down to Trump apologists just wanting the smaller of the two numbers said more regularly so that things look better than they are.

    You boys have just as much interest in the number being low as you claim the left has interest in the numbers being high. Stop being hypocrites.
