With coronavirus death toll in the U.S. rising to 19, people are becoming increasing afraid of contracting the disease. To date, there are 3,803 reported deaths with 109,835 confirmed cases worldwide. Also a total of 60,694 people have recovered from the virus. As the fear of coronavirus continues to spread, there are a growing number of reports of empty shop shelves as people rush to stock up on basic products such as hand soap, sanitizers, tissue papers, and many more. It got so bad that some stores are now limiting purchases of these products, more due to coronavirus fears.
The fears stem from the misleading information coming from mainstream media about the trend of the virus. The media shows the number of fatalities continuously increasing, on a time-based graph. The problem with this is that, the media only uses a cumulative graph to illustrate coronavirus deaths. However, if you look deeper at the raw data provided by John Hopkins on GITHUB, the number of global deaths per day are decreasing worldwide.
Hats off to Evan at TradeGuru, who first noticed the discrepancy in media’s cumulative statistics and created a more accurate chart. According to Evan’s analysis using the raw data provided by John Hopkins University, “the virus is decreasing in hotspots such as South Korea, China and Hong Kong (the first to deal with the novel virus). The press tells us it’s an outbreak, or a pandemic on the precipice. Both situations would suggest exponential growth. The actual data doesn’t suggest exponential growth of fatalities at all. The data suggests decline. In fact, the crude death rate is statistically 0.”
Also, it’s now being estimated that 80% of individuals that contract the coronavirus are asymptomatic or midly-symptomatic. And in this viral video, Rebecca Fraiser says she “never really felt unwell” after contracting the virus, and it “sounds like it is the case for the majority of people.”
Oil has tumbled to 30 a barrel today. The domino effect is going to hurt everybody.
Show me the data backing up that assertion please?
Unless the race, age and underlying medical conditions of those infected and those dying are released, this data reveals little. The CDC and WHO have this data but for many reasons are absolutely refusing to release it to the American public or health care professionals.
Oil prices just crashed to 30 dollars a barrel.
Test or no test, I presume that we would notice if people starting coming down with it on a mass scale.
Also, I went to my local supermarket this weekend in Newtown, CT (Big Y) and the shelves were fully stocked. Got everything I needed. The store wasn't even that busy.
I'll be back in NYC tomorrow but when I left it on Friday, the only thing I noticed different was some tourists wearing surgical masks.

Every 10 years or so we go through some nasty bug..10 years ago it was the swine flu, 19,000 Americans died, hardly a peep in the commie media, in fact I hardly remember it..we have Influenza B, we have the flu, both can kill, give you pneumonia and can cause your death, that is what viruses do..yes a flu shot can help but its only about 30 percent effective..all viruses come to an end eventually, unfortunately with any virus, its the elderly who end up suffering its wrath..put ANY flu virus in the same Washington State old age home and you will unfortunately have the same results
1. “Total cases” is based mainly on Chinese Communist Party stats. Do you trust them?
2. Tell it to Italy.
“Crude has become a bigger problem for markets than the coronavirus,” Adam Crisafulli, founder of Vital Knowledge, said Sunday.
1. Deaths, yes.
2. A nation of aging smokers with socialized medicine and filth. Color me shocked.
Precisely!

Facts are friends, fear is contagious. Facts fight fear.
To date, there are 3,803 reported deaths with 109,835 confirmed cases worldwide. Also a total of 60,694 people have recovered from the virus.
Be very, very careful with this obvious bit of misinformation. Note the following that you can confirm from data updated daily on Wikipedia:
Of those 60,694 “recoveries”, 58,000 plus are as reported by the Communist Chinese. Right now China is reporting 80,000 plus infections growing at a very small rate or perhaps not at all.
Reading this you could congratulation the Chinese on their great success in halting the spread of the Coronavirus. Or you could accuse them of lying.
Your choice.
Which country are you seeing that has exponential growth?
The places with the outbreaks have been in the 40s (no hotter, no colder)— Tehran, Northern Italy, Seattle, New York, etc; or in places with air conditioning
Singapore reports and publishes every transmission in great detail and literally every single transmission was in a heavily air conditioned place.
‘Get ready’: Italian doctors warn Europe of coronavirus impact on hospitals
‘It will be tough’, British doctor admits after Italian experts warn one in 10 of those infected need intensive care
The head of the Lombardy’s intensive care crisis unit says the health system is on the brink of collapse, intensive care being set up in hallways. By March 26 they predict ~18,000 #Covid19 cases in Lombardy, of which ~3,000 will need intensive care.

Italy Lombardy region is on the brink. Retired doctors summoned, nursing students field promoted to graduation. Just under 10% of Lombardy’s #COVID19 cases need ICU. 10% of doctors/nurses have already caught #coronavirus and in quarantine. Jesus.

I could post many more links, but I hope you will get the point.
The difference between China, S. Korea, Iran, Italy, Seattle and your town is just a matter of weeks.
“or in places with air conditioning”
(Good thing they don’t have A/C in the entire developed world, and the office-work critical-personnel parts of the 2nd and 3rd world.)
Iran is such a seventh century culture it will kill many. MERS did the same thing do did SARS
Italy is spotty in its health care plus it has all those “migrants “
You are correct. See my Post #34.
