Dr. Anthony Fauci on Sunday morning estimated the US could see between 100,000 and 200,000 deaths.
‘We’re going to have millions of cases,’ he said, adding that he did not want to be held to that number because the pandemic is ‘such a moving target’.
As of Sunday morning, there were more than 123,000 positive cases, and more than 2,100 deaths in the US.
New York City remains the epicenter of the nation’s outbreak, with 30,765 cases and 672 deaths.
But very sad news came from Europe.
The Portuguese health minister says a 14-year-old boy with COVID-19 has died.
The Daily Mail reported that the teenager suffered from psoriasis, but had no major underlying health conditions He lived in Ovar, south of Porto, with his family, and died in the early hours of today.
Medics are said to have decided against transferring him to a hospital with a pediatric A&E unit because of the severity of his condition.
He has been confirmed as Portugal's youngest person to die from Covid-19 so far.
Portugal reported Sunday it has 119 total deaths from the virus and 38,042 infections.
This news comes after a healthy 16-year-old girl Julie Alliot died at a Paris hospital this week.
She had no underlying health conditions and was pronounced dead a week after developing 'a slight cough'.
Sad day, RIP boy!
“...adding that he did not want to be held to that number...”
He wants to give himself wiggle room to be able to claim he was right all along, no matter what the outcome. Real stand-up guy.
Spectacle about this fauci, Hillary and Obama’s friend, put at the front gate to feed info back and to let those powers know the inside workings and what’s coming up next. Who knows for sure that this kid did not have any underlying conditions. Who made that determination? analyst, reporter, journalist going under the title expert or a medical doctor who knows the patient and his chart
On the backside of this pandemic we are likely to find out that most of the “healthy” fatalities had other more common bugs such as influenza A or influenza B. Either of those can knock you down for weeks so if you have it at the same time you have CV-19 would it not be far worse?
We do not know how/what people dying had as many hospitals - especially in Spain/Italy are likely not testing for other more common ailments in the face of CV-19, which causes symptoms that would be at the top of any list in any ER.
We know that CV-19 suppresses our immune systems making us far more vulnerable to severe pre-existing illnesses so it is logical that it might make us vulnerable to something our body has successfully suppressed that we are carrying such as influenza or even a bacteria such as streptococcus or pertussis.
Are the “healthy” fatalities suffering a double hit?
ONE boy under 14 dies it is world news. This “world” has become a neighborhood street. Amazing.
Some forms of psoriasis are the result of a form of cytokine storm. Was he treated with anything, hydrochloroquine, antivirals, z-pak?
This is sad to read, but children die every year from the flu. In January, for example, a boy and girl in Maryland (ages 5 and 8) died from the seasonal flu. Such deaths get little media attention compared to each and every death from the Wuhan Flu.
“He’d be alive today had the used hydroxychloriquine”
You don’t know that and couldn’t begin to prove it in a court of law.
This is why we have courts, because we can’t have idiots making such pronouncements that affect people’s lives.
It is very possible they did have underlying medical issues that getting sick exposed. We’re they ever tested for all medical conditions? How do they know they’re weren’t any medical conditions? Obviously they may have been.
The most common underlying health issue cited among deceased Covid19 victims is high blood pressure, the second is diabetes. If you know someone with these conditions, you know they can be controlled with medication and people usually live for decades with them. Casually accepting they they are going to die immediately of Covid19 is pretty harsh.
As if there are no people with high blood pressure and diabetes who do little to control it. Those are the folks being hardest hit by the Wu Flu. Our hospitals are full of fat people who have led unhealthy lives. If their chickens come home to roost due to the Wu Flu so be it.
Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease, it may have been treated with a medication that lessens your immune response.
I think it's safe to say that once the boy started deteriorating, he was basically screwed.
This report by the source is absolute BS:
The boy was immune-compromised. “Healthy” my ass.
5 times worse than the average flue season.
Knowing what we now know about COVID-19, I wouldn't be so sure they had "the seasonal flu" after all.
I added the keyword “fakenews”.
The headline merits correction to amend as such, but I know that admins could give a shit about what I think.
This is a bio-warfare attack folks.
Why hasn’t the CDC released and encouraged Hydroxychloroquine, Zinc, and Zpac to be used to treat Covid19???? Is big pharma controlling the use of it?
