Wuhan Corona Virus (COVID19) is a legitimate health concern, but it is no cause for panic or irrational hysteria.
Yes, follow commonsense practices for hygiene, take care of yourself. Seek medical help if necessary. Do NOT surrender to fear. Fear is our biggest enemy.
At the moment in the U.S., we have 32,356 Coronavirus cases, 414 deaths and 178 recovered.
In Italy the country that is the country that is hit the hardest so far we have 59,138 Coronavirus cases, 5,476 deaths and 7,024 recovered.
By contrast, China has almost twice as many cases, 81,250, but 3,253 fatalities.
From the Telegraph:
According to Prof Walter Ricciardi, scientific adviser to Italy’s minister of health, the country’s mortality rate is far higher due to demographics – the nation has the second oldest population worldwide – and the manner in which hospitals record deaths.
But Prof Ricciardi added that Italy’s death rate may also appear high because of how doctors record fatalities.
“The way in which we code deaths in our country is very generous in the sense that all the people who die in hospitals with the coronavirus are deemed to be dying of the coronavirus.
“On re-evaluation by the National Institute of Health, only 12 percent of death certificates have shown a direct causality from coronavirus, while 88 percent of patients who have died have at least one pre-morbidity – many had two or three,” he says.
Other experts have also expressed skepticism about the available data. Martin McKee, professor of European public health at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, says that countries do not yet have a good indication of how many mild infections they have.
If further testing finds more asymptomatic cases spreading undetected, the mortality rate will drop.
A new study found that 86% of coronavirus cases are asymptomatic. The carriers have no idea they are infected but can still spread it.
This study lowers the mortality rate more.
According to a new study by the journal Science — 6 of 7 coronavirus victims, or 86% of infections, were undocumented.
Please share this article wherever you can. It is the only way we can work around their censorship and ensure people receive news about issues that Democrats and the mainstream media suppress.

bingo
Commonly known as “cooking the books”.
Just what I said when this whole Italy thing was blown up: how many of these cases are really something else mistakenly reported as the Chinese Virus?
They all died of cardiac arrest. Presto chango - no Coronavirus deaths.
Trying to bring their numbers down, eh? Okay.
Virus do not kill people, the person’s body kills itself trying to kill the invader. All deaths are related to immune system, and there are plenty of things that can cause an immune system to be compromised. Obesity, too much sugar intake, smoking, heart conditions, other organ damage. This list is incomplete, but hopefully you get the picture. Western societies are not healthy societies, as we rely too much on medicine and doctors to repair the damage, and we do little to protect ourselves against viruses, germs and other microbes that attack us.
It appears no one really knows what the hell is going on. The government is destroying the economy without a verified basis but on panic mode?
I’ve read that China is reclassifying Wuhan Virus victims as pneumonia victims.
Most of them had at least one pre-morbidity - many had two or three,” high blood+diabetes is common there
Thank God I discovered the Keto Diet when I did.
of course, as soon as China shows up as ‘rescuers’ and ‘volunteer (PLA) doctors and nurses’ take control of the info, the numbers drop. Is anyone surprised?
The reality is, these people were alive with their pre-existing condition and they would have remained alive, had it not been for the Wuhan Virus terminating their life prematurely.
Get the chicoms out of Italy’s hospitals.
So? What’s your point? Source?
“Trying to bring their numbers down, eh? Okay.”
Kinda like dying with Prostate Cancer rather FROM it. The cancer had nothing to do with death, are you suggesting we should count it as such? Hand gun suicides count in the “gun violence” stats as well?
The elusive Knights of Nih!
let them spread it....isolate those that are frail...makes so much more sense, but common sense seems to be lacking even here on FR...
If they are being honest about it, that’s one thing, but we have no way of knowing.
or as an italian minister said last week, how many people died from the chinese flu versus dying of other causes but had the chinese flu??
Dr Joel Wallach NAILED the NIH for their lies and he got blackballed for his troubles.
