The survival rate of this is 98%! You have to read very deeply to find that number, that 2% of the people get the coronavirus di
RUSH is smarter then this..the backlog of people in serious will die off even if the new cases decrease..this is why the death rate is now up to 3% using his flawed method (deaths/total cases)
he is being an idiot
example:
Hubie reported 406 new cases but 150 new deaths yesterday
Take a look at this lengthy post from yesterday’s Sunday Morning Talk Show thread. It’s lengthy and covers the spectrum from an ELE (think Deep Impact) to something equivalent to the SARs virus but not so deadly. A couple of points that are known now - it is easy to catch and you can be a carrier and spread it before you see any symptoms. Apparently it also has the ability to reinfect after you seemingly recover, sort of like HIV where it remains in the background.

Exactly. Rush is correct on this. Way too much panic going on including the usual FR clutching pearls crew.
Most likely
Yeah, say that out loud. Again. Crash the Gulfstream G550 that often. Nuts.
Love Rush of course. I think here Wall Street is largely reacting to real data. For example, it is easy to track the number of flights over China and people are saying they are way down. Similarly, what goes on in Chinese ports is pretty visible. When ships are cancelled or are turned away because of stacked up containers, the market knows. Last week it was reported that ships arriving in China with refrigerated containers are being turned away because the plugs needed for the containers in the ports once unloaded are all already be being used because the workers (trucks?) needed to move out the previously unloaded containers are not there. I am guessing there are quite a few data points like this. IDK, just throwing this out there.
Dow just closed down 1,031 points, 27,961, -3.56%
I love Rush but on this thing I do believe that reasonable precautions are the order of the day and not just reckless disregard for a disease that has paralyzed an authoritarian state that doesn’t give a damn about their people.
If China is reacting strongly to this thing then it is serious.
Period.
Welcome to FR.
The REPORTED number of fatalities is 2,468
Based on that metric the effective fatality rate is 9.4%, if you think that all the cases and fatalities have been reported by the Chinese Communists...
South Korea is at Alert Level 2, Practice Enhanced Precautions. This isn’t the presidents decision what alert level each country gets.
Thanks and please post a link for this data and ping me.
“I just took a look a the Influenza A and B numbers on the CDC Web Page... way more scary than what we’re seeing out of this CoronaVirus which is peaking at a 2% mortality rate, meanwhile, the flu is at 7.9 - 9%.
Thanks

At a local high school here, a teacher told me that 200 kids were out with the flu on the same day recently. They should have just closed school.
It is not a common cold but it is also not Armageddon and in any case it is not close to the disaster the LSM claims it to be and after being active since by all accounts last November the death rate for what little it is seems to be among elderly Asian men and smokers but predominantly Asian.
There have been viruses like these before and there will be viruses after this, some worse than others.
We will survive them all.
And Limbaugh is correct on the media deliberately stirring up panic.
.
Actually flu mortality is less than 1%.

I think a lot of this will depend on:
Genes (ace2 issues)
Lungs (smoking)
Health care you obtain once you get sick.
Also, if you are taking Ace inhibitors like blood pressure meds perhaps you are less likely to get it or if you do you are more likely to survive
—
Yes.
Except I have not seen any data showing ACE inhibitors are competitive with the virus binding site.
