Let’s not push the panic button over the new respiratory virus. It is already known to be far less lethal than SARS, and may not be any worse than the common flu. In any event, it will be managed just fine in the United States.
Rush is on the bull’s-eye about this.
RATs and their media are trying to make something much bigger out of COVID-19, to attack POTUS (and us) with it.
They’re hoping it will be “Trump’s Katrina.” (Sheesh! These people are sick. BTW, that phrase may have actually come from never-Trumper Hugh Hewitt.)
The NIH guy has said repeatedly that the death rate out of China is vastly overstated, because they are not reporting all the cases—hence, THE DENOMINATOR OF THE FRACTION IS GREATLY UNDERSTATED, making the death ratio appear to be much higher than it is in reality.
FOR EXAMPLE: If instead of 80,000 cases in China there are actually 2.7 million (not a stretch at all!), then the death ratio of Covid-19 would be approximately the same as the common flu in the U.S. today, or about 1 in a 1,000.
Whatever the death rate is...
It’s caused china to shut down. Hundreds of millions under quarantine.
Military enforced quarantine of 11M people in Wuhan.
Literally digging up secondary and tertiary roads out.
I can’t remember china doing this for the yearly flu or common cold...

MONEY QUOTE!!! Without knowing the number of ALL cases, the death rate remains shrouded in mystery. I have refused to get freaked out about this in any way, shape or form. Trump will be giving an address about this at 6PM Eastern Time.
#644 My only concern over that perspective is if that is actually the case, why the lock down, quarentines, dragging people out of housing complexes and the public spraying?
I have never seen that done for the Flu.
