Estimates of up to 80% of covid carriers are asymptomatic. We've probably all had it and just never realized it.

Well not the safest, but they are being handled extremely safely, AND they are in extremely low risk categories, being very young and extremely healthy.
Just to be accurate, 80% of cases are mild or asymptomatic. It’s around 50% who don’t know they have it or believe they might have it but the symptoms aren’t bad enough to get a test and just get told to self quarantine for two weeks.

They all seem healthy on the surface but...
There's always those with underlying conditions a la Normand Leveille. We never know.

and, again, asymptomatic people CAN PASS THE INFECTION ON TO OTHER PEOPLE

Wrong: Asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic coronavirus spread: What's the difference, and why does it matter? - CNN
A World Health Organization official recently said asymptomatic spread "appears to be rare," prompting widespread confusion because doctors and scientists have been saying the opposite for months.
But the WHO's comment "was not correct," said Dr. Anthony Fauci, the top infectious diseases expert in the US.

They clarified that and changed their story. They are still uncertain about how contagious people are at different stages of infection.

wrong.
first hand. My niece caught it from someone that felt absolutely fine yet tested positive. That person was the only person in contact with my niece over a two week period.
My niece however got very sick. Tested positive.
fully recovered. Thanks. Said it was the worst muscle/joint pain she ever had. She was wiped out for 4 or 5 days. She’s 23. No pre existing conditions and otherwise in perfect health.
She was asked and donated plasma this week.

I watched that game on TV live and it was heartbreaking. One of the best memories of Bruins related things I have is seeing Ray Bourque help Normand skate around the garden one last time before the building closed.

Enough with this already. Random antibody tests in Boston hotspots came back around 10% positive. And that is in the places where the virus is/was most prevalent.
Obviously we have not just all had it. The amount of agenda rammed into statements like that is off the charts.
This isn’t even to mention your other sentence is also incorrect.

I remember all that. I was still living north shore of Montreal back then.

Hopefully when routine medical visits come back, she gets a scan on her lungs. A lot of stuff coming out about the stealth damage it does.

The data seems to be taken on July 1 each year. So, the large growth in the 8 months 7/1/2019 to 3/1/2020 might overshadow any decrease in growth in the 4 months from 3/1/2020 to 7/1/2020. The data's so pixelated that it's tough to tell.
Also, you may be mistaking a decrease in growth rate with a decrease in number. The population graph should be decelerating, but still going up - our death rate obviously isn't as high as our birth rate. Just like when you tap the brakes on a car going forward - it doesn't start going backwards, nor does it necessarily come to a stop. The speed just decreases.
Finally, it might take awhile to get the data sorted out. Hell, they're still adjusting the estimate on when we passed 6 billion, which is sometime in 1999. Getting a good estimate on world population is not a trivial matter, and it really is literally a moving target.

She’s thinking about it.
Was told to wait a bit because the school district where she works might have employees do it over the summer via wherever they contract with.
I have a question- have any of you been tested for COVID? What was it like?
I have to be tested Tuesday as I am scheduled for a colonoscopy Friday.

got tested last week as requirement for a scope myself. tested negative. like a thin q tip getting put up your nose. small burning sensation for 4 seconds then fine. its scary how facts and best practices are
interpreted by people. doctor took his face mask off while talking to me, said "i dont need this you tested negative". shows you some people even doctors don't understand or follow all the guidance. ask for extra lube... good luck.
One of my friends is currently in the police academy and had to get tested recently before he went back along with all the other cadets. Long q-tip stuck deep into your nasal cavity. Told me it didn't hurt, it was just an unpleasant feeling. Said his nose was a little uncomfortable for a little while after.
I'd say the colonoscopy will be the worse of the two.
