USA: 153 Cases and 11 Deaths
That’s over 7%.
I know, I love the statements being made thus far:
(1) 80% will have mild symptoms!
I read: 20% who get it will end up hospitalized.
Caveat: there is NO notation in these claims about the line of “serious, needs GP visit” vs. “serious, needs hospital.”
This is quite a break from flu, if this is a step function! And even worse, if 60% of USA citizens get this, and 20% of those needs the doctor or ER, guess what, you ain’t getting one! 12% of the entire population of the USA is 36 million people!
(2) You probably won’t get it!
I read: by what measure? I see stats of 60% infection rate of entire population of the USA.
Talk about hopium...
(3) Kids rarely get it!
I read: where is the stats on that? Currently, I see zero stats on kids vs. adults vs. seasoned citizens. Lots of claims, but no numbers thus far.
I’ll prep, thank you! And the reason why will blow your mind...
When government services (or at least heavily regulated services) like power and water end at my house, I plan to be ready.
Other folks can watch their kids & loved ones suffer or die of dehydration. I can’t make them see the light!
BTW, prepping will not save a terrible lot of people from the virus itself, but if your family gets locked down without water, you could watch your family die from dehydration instead, and be miserable with no food.
Or worse, break the quarantine to attempt to get food or water, and bring the virus back to your family!
Finally, I think our president is doing a great job. But he’d be better off if he fired the entire CDC and had a better organization ready to takes its place. CDC response has been pathetic. I’d love to see the back channel being fed to HHS from CDC. I will bet it has been all glowing right up until it wasn’t.
CDC is just more Deep State B.S.
Our government needs a reformat and reinstall of the bureaucracy. It also needs to happen routinely. Much like our like legislatures need it as well.
It means there should be 550 cases in the US right now. 50 infected per death was early rate of China provinces outside Wuhan province area.
