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.”
Hot humid weather tends to kill these pandemics because water droplets carrying the virus when people sneeze or cough is trapped in the air’s moisture and falls harmlessly to the ground.
A sneeze of cough in cold dry air can travel a shocking distance.
So he is saying 20% of people are severely ill. How does that not cause a healthcare collapse?
Nope. Beyond mildly is not “serious” it is a “normal” illness.
L8r
Now take a look at what those countries are doing.
Then look at what we are doing in the US.
I guess we know better.
(I do know if you want to keep the numbers low, let’s not test.)
A terrible disease to catch for some- now let’s start societal distance a bit and let it slow to nothing.
Still curious if the evolutionists can prove it wasn’t man made in China? I bet not, which is why the media moved away from that question so quickly.
“Debunked”
And Italy and Iran?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mildly ill - no need for doctor
moderaltely ill - maybe doctor, maybe prescription, maybe extended home stay
severely ill - likely complicating illnesses (chronic) maybe mutliple doctor visits, misery, maybe hospitaliztion or ER to rehydrate and stabilize followed by release to recover at home.
There’s a lot of room between mild and hospital stay.
Other nations are testing & shutting things down. We aren’t.

Very interesting!
So it’s not the heat that kills the virus, but the humidity that traps it and shortens the range.
(The precautions about handwashing etc are still apply)
What method of transmission happens with an asymptomatic person; how does he or she spread it if not coughing or sneezing?
Yes we are. Why spread fear AND FAKE NEWS?
PghBaldy has spent days here spreading fear and fake news.
Countries under martial law: coronavirus is retracting.
Countries playing whack-a-mole: coronavirus infections are expanding exponentially.
Narses,
Echoing Andy Jackson’s question:
What about Italy & Iran?

Italy mortality will drop once their virus gets under control and the very vulnerable die off.
Iran is a useless comparison. The people lick statues and the government shot 1500 unarmed demonstrators and buried them in a mass grave. The more people die there, the happier they are.
