I heard a lady doctor yesterday saying that 85% of the cases show no symptoms or mild symptoms. She also said the death rate is 1.9%.

So, being the naive person I am, if 85% of the cases are mild to no symptoms and only elderly or compromised people are at risk, isn’t this just the flu? Easily spread, but milder suffering than the flu, no?

I’m really angry at the dims for the fearmongering.

F&F just had on a panel of moms.

One mom said she had to talk her teenage daughter down from fear and panic when she came home from school saying we all are going to die.

Just what were her teachers saying?

As she pointed out kids have enough stress they don’t need this too, stress can be harmful itself.

A death rate of 1.9 % would be 1 in 50 cases.

Flu kills 80,000 a year(max) and 31 million get it in US annually.

Death rate for flu would be 0.26% or 1 in 388.

COVID-19 is 8x as bad.

Also consider, we now only have early numbers, so rates are going to skew higher because we don’t really know how many people have it in the US.

But biologically, this is not a naturally occurring “virus”.

This is a bioweapon,built on a bat SARS virus platform, with HIV proteins and perhaps TB fungals grafted in.

If a vaccine does not treat all of these elements, its efficacy will suffer.
