Cue the guy with the hockey stick graph demonstrating how this is going to ramp-up to 68,000 deaths within a week.
Thirty- nine deaths as of 12:49 pm today. Thirty of which were in Washington State, four in California.
As of NOON today, 12MAR20, 38 people have died & nearly 2/3 of those in ONE nursing home in WA.

And you wonder why trust in the Establishment Media by many Americans have fallen through the floor.
How many have recovered in the U.S.?
How many have recovered from a second infection in the U.S.?
It’s a little late now but we need to close our borders and put ourselves in social isolation until the pandemic subsides.
38 fatalities out of 46 completed cases. (JHU CSSE 6:33 AM PDT 3/12)
The percentage is left to the reader as an exercise.
I want to see metrics of hospitalizations and fatalities, not just numbers and percentages.
For example for both each hospitalization and fatality:
Age
Smoker (Y/N)
Respiratory Condition
Immune Disorder (MS, HIV, etc.)
Ethnic Heritage (Asian, Caucasian, Other)
You know what I expect to see? That a large percentage of the hospitalizations and fatalities are:
Older
Smokers (Europeans and Asians smoke like chimneys)
Immune systems compromised
Asian background
That’s my hypothesis.
They have this data. Why not share? Perhaps because it will provide an answer they don’t want widely publicized?
150 Million?
Michael Savage has been a lot more realistic about the corona virus since epidemiology is part of his formal training, and has been largely supportive of Trump’s actions. The appropriate response lies somewhere between complete indifference and absolute hysteria, but erring on the side of healthy caution.
Everyone should realize, remember, and repeat again and again... that the Democrats have already shot a hole in their own boat. Their politicization of the Corona Virus continues to ramp up, but they cannot unsay, and unvideo that massive hole in their boat’s hull. They were against and remain against travel bans. And they are trying to get legislation passed that would end the current travel bans. Add to that, Bernie and Biden still would dismantle our border, and allow hoards of untested illegal aliens to flood into our country.
Nothing they can say or do can remove the fact that if they had been in power, the Chinese Corona Virus infection and death rates in the U.S. would have exploded in February, and they now would be lying about how the Republicans are exaggerating the severity of the pandemic, which would be much, much worse than it actually is now. Never let these idiots get away with this, bring it up consistently.
Rush can’t help himself. He is still looking at this as primarily a political event that is way overblown.
Sorry Rush. You are wrong. You simply cannot look at the status of this disease at a point in time (like today, for example) and understand anything about it. You cannot compare where we stand in March 2020 with the Swine Flu Epidemic. It is meaningless to do so.
But the dynamics of the spread of CV can tell you everything. Rush needs to pay more attention to the trends, understand where those trends are taking us and forget about the number of deaths to-date. Deaths will be relative small in numbers for some time. Right now it is new infection that tell the tale.
Come back in two or three months and then we can talk about it. What we need to be talking about now are the measures required to slow the growth rate of of CV infections in this country and worldwide.
I’m gonna miss Tom Hanks ans who ever his wife is when they are gone, taken early by the Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Rush Limbaugh: deaths in America update 3/12/2020 below:
The death toll is not part of any of the reporting. Is that fascinating to you, or is that something that only fascinates me?
On February 21, 2020 Italy suffered its first Coronavirus death.
As of March 11, 2020 there are 1,016 deaths.

BOMB the L4 labs. We can stop these weapons of mass destruction...also the networks amplifying these weapons of mass distraction. Beware the military, industrial, germ warfare, political, propaganda complexes.
I got the new thingy, EGADS - Egregious General Anxiety Disorder System. I traced it back to the networks.
Stop ALL COMMERCE. The BIG plus...we could eliminate the Dept. of Commerce, Dept. of Labor and Lizzy’s Consumer Finance Protection Bureau. Suspend CONGRE$$. PELOSI is a “super spreader” among others for BIG GOV. It’s the only thing that can save us. Problem: New...Dept. of Sticks and Stones...

WHO needs a bailout? Who, who, who, who, who? Between BIG GOV, BIG PROPAGANDA & SCIENTIFIC TOTALITARIANISM...who takes ownership? That’s what I thought crickets.
Shut down Las Vegas. I saw lots of Orientals there a couple of weeks ago. One sneezed I think. Quarantine ALL of them. Who knows how many “super spreaders” They’re like serial killers. Protect me government. Please. Me...I’m OK so far. Thanks for asking. Got my buds listening to WHO...

So I got curious and did some Google searches and here are the results:
World wide bicycle deaths - 56,000 in 2016
World wide deaths due to falls - 646,000 in 2018
World wide influenza deaths - CDC annual estimate 291,000-646,000
World wide deaths due to mosquitoes - W.H.O. estimates over 1 million annually.
World wide Corona Virus deaths as of today - 5,822
Any illness should be treated with respect, but uninformed panic and hyperbole from the press does no one any good.
Waiting for a CNN report that there is not enough heavy equipment to dig the mass graves needed for the possible millions of deaths that could happen from the corona virus and of course it is Trump’s fault
