New Chris Martenson video:

Imho he is the most thoughtful commentator and analyst on this thing—he called it while the Flu Bros were still out there buying stocks on margin... :-)

Rather than insult, maybe ask him to explain. He is simply referring to Case Fatality Rate, which is rather simply calculated as Fatalities/Cases. Most cases have not “resolved”, and it is clear that not all remaining patients will survive. Some of them will succumb and the CFR will rise, at least among THESE cases. Hopefully, with improved treatment, we will do better in the future.

Weeks ago people proclaimed South Korea’s 0.7% CFR as “the real CFR” as opposed to the 2% to 3.4% claimed by various sources, even though only 1/4th of their cases had resolved. Some (mathematically illiterate) people even claimed it would go down. Now that cases are resolving, SK’s CFR has exceeded 1.5%, and is trending to reach about 2.4%.

Oh and “Go Raiders”. Looking forward to building some Las Vegas weekends around a few games.

I don’t know who he is, but generally speaking, the Flubros have become some of the most obnoxious people on earth.

Extending it to April 30 is wise. He has finally realized we are up the creek without a paddle and there’s white water and the Niagara Falls straight ahead.

“Non-citizens, neither legal nor illegal, had much to do with this one.”

Actually, the earliest cases in CA were illegals. CA hid their origins, now it’s lost in the sauce.

Lots coming, or trying to come across the southern border. Many infected - Mexico is also hiding their true problem.

I returned from Cali to Texas over 6 weeks ago. And have been quarantined a couple times. Oh....I drove. Lol.

Dr. Birx said all of the flu models predicted somewhere between 1.6 and 2.2 million deaths if the government did not mitigate. It is not clear where she came up this this excessive number. Dr Birx said some models predicted half of the United States would be infected.

Excuse me, Dr Birx...but are these models from the same "scientists" that predicted global cooling & global warming that turned out to be hoaxes?

FatalityRate(Confirmed vs dead)

Not good, going higher practically everyday for the last week.

“British Scientific Advisers Claim China’s Outbreak Could Be ‘15 To 40 Times’ Worse Than Reported, Report Says”

They are being generous. At this point I am pretty sure the death toll in Wuhan was on the order of 200,000. Possibly higher.

As always, I hope I’m wrong on this.

You were wondering why the national numbers were not high all over.

I was explaining the term “spread.”

But I guess Trump took care of your side while I was away. You guys can go rail at him.

“Be ready for a full scale depression that will last years.”

I doubt it, but if we go down the world goes with us. Then WWIII will start in earnest.

God has this and His children, whom he loves dearly, in the palm of His hand. None, not one, escapes His sight.

“Not a sparrow falls to the ground that He does not see”

“Aren’t two sparrows sold for only a penny? But your Father knows when any one of them falls to the ground”

And if He cares so greatly for these little birds, how much more so does He care for you (_your_name_here_)?

You...whom He made in His very image. You, who are a co-heir in His righteousness and glory.

The song sings “His eye is on the sparrow” to remind us of His GREAT love.

If you are actually asking a serious question, and would actually like a serious answer, please take a look at the videos here. This guy has been predicting the numbers corectly for the past two months, long before anyone in the mass media or .gov had a clue:

The mass media and .gov did not invent this one—the virus is real, and could not care less whether you believe in it or not.

You don’t seem to be able to speak without insulting people.

How pitiful it must be to be you.
