No, COVID-19 Is Not Like The Flu—And We Have To Stop Comparing Them; It’s more deadly—and much more contagious.

Apart from the original scientists who are now dead and had their notes destroyed I don’t think we can trust any information coming out of China.

“Apart from the original scientists who are now dead and had their notes destroyed I don’t think we can trust any information coming out of China.”

Except we know that hundreds of thousands if not millions are dead in China.

One report in China found serious illness occurs in approximately 16% of cases.

In other words, 84% of cases are mild.

So it is roughly 4x as deadly as the flu.

Headline is accurate. But it’s not the Andromeda Strain.

And that’s after Nanzi Jezebel Pelosi invited people to visit Chinatown. The body count should be in the thousands in Chinatown alone.

There is a conversation I saw between two doctors. One in the middle of dealing with two male patients with Wuhan Flu. One dose of Genentech medicine left and cant get more because Genentech sending out on a case by case basis

Let’s just say flu is far worse mortality wise. Fine

Drs don’t know how to deal with Wuhan and drugs they think might work..they can’t get.

Wuhan flu presents with all kinds of symtoms that make it hard to diagnose in the beginning when you really need to start treatment.

Here is a snippet of the convo

One Dr:
I do not think it is anemia. I think the virus messes with the rbcs ability to oxygenate. Which is also one of the theories behind hydroxychloroquine helping due to its effect on the porphyrin stuff in rbcs.

I might even consider drawing a couple of units off and transfusing a couple of healthy units. What can you lose?

Second Dr:
Only thing that disputes this. Their Po2 is damn low. and correlates with O2 sat. i.e. no “rogue COVID-Hgb” species. But who the hell knows. Damn thing is not natural. WUHAN.”

It’s not the nature of the disease that is up for debate, it’s the HANDLING of it on every level! Which is why you see such a disparity in fatality rates varied by country and government!

Bullshit.

Same symptoms and 30 years ago before we could have looked at it, DNA sequenced it, and made a test for it in a matter of weeks to months, that is EXACTLY what we would have called it, the flu.

The mortality rate is over inflated. In those countries where they aren’t playing the games as in the US where anyone who was “suspected” of having had corona and died was counted, where everyone already on their way out but still alive that tested positive was counted as a corona fatality even though they would have likely died anyhow, the mortality rates are far, far lower.

America, where movies (Contagion), bullshit news, and idiot politicians run things. Why was there a shortage of toilet paper? Did the production stop? Did corona cause a 300% increase in deification? Did the population double? It’s because someone on the news said people are running to the stores and there is a shortage. Then everyone really did run to the stores and there was a shortage. But it’s still just all crap (pun intended).

I’ve been going here https://www.bing.com/search?q=California+Coronavirus++map&qs=n&form=QBRE&sp=-1&pq=california+coronavirus+map&sc=6-26&sk=&cvid=4DCF0DDD7E7E4D22B7552112AB54D314

Sato keep track of what is going on and I notice the last few days California claims 0 recoveries. All the recoveries they listed before disappeared.

Bull$hit

This virus hoax is killing us all by destroying the economy.

The number of flu deaths has mysteriously dropped to zero as all flu deaths are counted as Covid.

My guess re Chinatown is that Many of us have had and gotten over the thing already. Probably many of us have antibodies.
