He said it yesterday, too! I was flabbergasted. I sent a tweet today pasting text of official world rate of 0.883% (US rate is much less) but will probably be ignored.

The outbreaks in Iran and India and Italy debunk the claim this only affects Asians.

Asians just happen to live near Wuhan.

You have this corona virus on one side and deaths from all other diseases on the other. Which one is the world all caught up about?

Rush is just doing what he always does, play the optimist. I admire him for that, but the reality is the virus is more serious than he’s suggesting.

Well, the WHO and CDC, despite their best efforts, have failed to lower the death rate world wide from 100%.

World rate including every hellhole is LESS than 1%. How can Rush sit there and speak untruths?

Also, the survival rate in China doesn’t reflect the world rate or the euro-American survival rates. This is all still developing.

I think where he may be confused is total deaths. The flu has killed many more in pure numbers than Corona Virus, but in terms of percentage who have each Corona Virus is worse

It’s a simple concept, really, but so many seem to struggle with it.

The flu is endemic throughout the world. Roughly the same number of cases occur from year to year with roughly the same results. Some years are worse than others. We know what to expect, more or less.

The Wuhanic Plague is NOT endemic throughout the world. So far it has affected a limited number of people in a limited geography, and elsewhere it is still (apparently) contained.

The idea is to keep it from becoming endemic throughout the world.

If Rush were to compare the figures for both the flu and the Wuhanic Plague in an area where both are endemic, say in Wuhan itself (like we’ll ever get real numbers from the Chinese, LOL), he might adopt a different outlook.

Rush may be right or wrong, like everyone who is making claims now.

No one knows what the eff they are talking about because no one knows the real numbers.

Which means the best to start getting a handle is to watch the stats from countries whose numbers can be trusted.

Whoever those countries are...

One thing to remember: Chinese death rates probably aren’t a good predictor of death rates elsewhere.

Actually we have a double set of lies.

The Chinese and Iranians release their lies, then our media adds their lies on top of that.

Can’t believe any of it.

What numbers do you disagree with?

All of them. The cdc is just another alphabet agency trying to justify it's existence and expand it's kingdom. And the msm misrepresents, or flat out lies, all the time to keep everybody in a panic mode over one thing or another. How many people do know who have had or died from coronavirus?

I don't know. We will see if Rush clarifies or changes his statement.

Also...we don’t know what the number of infections vs mortality in China really is. It could be way higher. I think WHO needs to throw China’s stats out (as far as calculating rate) and just go with countries that report accurately and responded from the get go.

Rhinovirus [a cold virus] Kills 4500 people annually in the US.

Depressing the economy and markets by panicking people for the benefit of Chuck Schumer will possibly cost us our freedom.
