Where are your factual sources to dispel all the alleged misinformation?
instead of just criticizing, post something of substance.
If you want facts and not just alamarist infodemic posts Go to this site https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries
for updated numbers and you will see that no one, repeat no one under the age of 10 worldwide has died.
I know this won’t fly here but that is because the virus is mild compared to SARS etc. The death rate is much lower than reported because most cases are mild, and unreported that is why 3 UCLA students were suspected of having it and they tested negative and just have a cold.
Both HHS and New England Journal of Medicine now say its fatality rates is between 0.1% and 1%.
On Thursday HHS Assistant Secretary Admiral Brett Giroir told reporters, “The best estimates now of the overall mortality rate for COVID-19 is somewhere between 0.1% and 1%. That’s lower than you heard probably in many reports … it’s not likely in the range of 2 to 3%.”
This puts coronavirus on par with a typical flu epidemic to something slightly higher — NOT something like a SARS or MERS virus with a much higher mortality rate.

New England Journal of Medicine :
Many corona virus cases are so mild they’re not even being reported, Fauci explained in an editorial he co-wrote in the same issue of the NEJM. Co-authors include Dr. Robert Redfield, who directs the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Dr. Clifford Lane, deputy director of the NIAID.
“If one assumes that the number of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic cases is several times as high as the number of reported cases, the case fatality rate may be considerably less than 1%,” Dr. Fauci and his colleagues explained.
“This suggests that the overall clinical consequences of COVID-19 may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza pandemic [which has a case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%] or a pandemic influenza [similar to those in 1957 and 1968],” the experts wrote.
Moderna and Regeneron, among others report that they already have a treatment (Regeneron who developed treatment for Ebola) ready for testing this summer-and you can expect it to be expedited-yes more sadly will die but nothing like the panic percentages-perhaps reach the level of 2009/2010 flu and sadly it is primarily seniors who are compromised and they deserve our prayers not panic.
