What's worrisome is the HOSPITALIZATION rate. As we've seen in every single country so far health care systems cannot handle the amount of critically ill that results from the virus.
That's why all governments are expending so much time and money to slow or stop it.
So this article seems to be saying that if you take the cases known to be the coronavirus, and you add to them a nearly like number which may or may not be the coronavirus, then the death rate goes down.
Well, Duh.
Of course that doesn’t tell you a lot about the coronavirus, or the effects of the coronavirus.
If the effects of quarantine captured all of those reported with coronavirus, along with all of the cases of unreported coronavirus, then that would account for the lack of new cases. If there were a sizable number of cases not quarantined, then the number of new cases would still be rapidly expanding.
China is reporting only about 350 new cases since 3/4, and about 125 new deaths (which are more likely mostly out of the “still sick” pool).
So....we are not all going to die?
Wrong, I am pretty sure we all will, just not all at the same time from the WooHoo Flu. No matter what the fear mongers tell you.
According to this website: https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6
the current number of COVID-19 deaths are just over 4,000 and the current number recovered are just under 70,000. That’s about a 6% death rate for currently “resolved” cases.
More importantly is how COVID-19 affected China. China has been under martial law for many weeks. The cellphone videos I’ve seen of Beijing look like they’re scenes from the Omega Man.
There’s also their rush to build new hospitals and, the shortages of body bags and, of course, no funerals in Wuhan due to contagion concerns but the crematoria are running 24/7.
I don’t know if this info is getting in the MSM but it’s been leaked from China and is being posted on youtube.

Thanks, PGalt, for giving me a good laugh this morning!
Great post, PGalt.
Old article. But relevant. Our statistics are not counting mild cases. I believe that at least 200 million Americans will get infected before 5h4 crisis ends.
