Has the Coronavirus already come and gone for most of the US? Adam Houseley, formerly of FoxNews, says that MAY be the case...
Never mind. I just checked. Those respiratory issues were happening to people last year in the summer. (I said “a few months ago.”)
I really wanted to believe this virus had already passed through here, but it’s probably just getting started.
Your proof is?
It will go away on it’s own. They always have and this one will as well.
Name one. Virus that has not?
I had all the symptoms. Headache, fever, fatigue, dry painful cough, the works. Was hospitalized for chest pain and difficulty breathing.
My blood oxygen level was so low during the persistent coughing fits, my body temp dropped to 96.6. I was pale as a ghost.
Scared the crap out of my husband.
That was a month ago.
A bunch of Freepers were kind enough to pray for me and I’ve been loading up on vitamins to help my body heal. Was able to get back to work and was finally getting caught up after missing over a week.
Thought I was past it, but now the cough and lung pain, headache and fatigue are back and my urine is dark. My kids and husband all had a nasty cough for several days, but I got it first and worst.
If it doesn’t get better, my husband wants me back in the hospital. He read that this stuff can attack the kidneys, too.
It has been 4 weeks. I am so sick of this crap.
But why would anyone want to court trouble like this? Do what you would do for any illness going around but don't wait with bated breath for the next installment of the imagined destruction and death of civilization.
Look out Ned it's coming right for us! Blam, Blam!
Shut up before I nail your other foot to the floor!
Same here. Was coughing so bad it became painful.
And your proof?
Oh never mind...those cheering death never need proof. Just hyperventilating & bloviating bullshit.
That is the true blunder. Despite decades of planning for a virus X, the CDC and FDA where totally unprepared. The after action reports will be brutal. Heads should roll.
Like the FBI, CIA the top tear of America’s institutions are rotten. It s a given that the Press will always be, as is education. The run at destroying health care had eight years of systematic attack by the democraps. Trump finally said it about the CDC the other day. Because of continued Republican Cowardice, reforms will not happen.
That, and not the virus per see, is what will kill America.
My girlfriend and her son both had some crud last October. Her son went to the ER thinking it was pneumonia.
Probably lasted 3 weeks from start to finish. Lungs were full of crap.
No, but it's March and the weather is getting warmer when viruses tend to vanish. So as much as some of you want this to continue, the odds are it won't.
CDC developing serologic tests that could reveal full scope of U.S. coronavirus outbreak
But two lessons must be driven home. It was the failure of government not being able to perform that brought us to this point.
And two, with the run up of gun and ammo purchases, many by first timers, and the confiscation by democraps, that any one who tries to take your weapons has to die trying.
New data reveals coronavirus patient zero might be from mid-November excerpt: "Newly reviewed data from the Chinese government reveals that patient zero of the coronavirus outbreak may have been infected earlier than previously believed, The South China Morning Post reported.
According to the data, which has not yet been made public, the COVID-19 virus was likely first contracted by a 55-year-old man from China's Hubei Province on November 17, 2019."
NO....Liberals are not Happy til YOU’RE NOT HAPPY!
Exactly the opposite of what he said, but you go with that.
True as far as the availability of the data isn’t good enough yet but the assumption in this chart is not good data analytics and misleading. Let me try and explain.
Simple put It is making negative assumptions punched into a spreadsheet that are not based on facts.
The fatality rate for COVID 19 is nowhere near as high as some alarmist make it out to be. It is dropping as a % as more test are own and capture those with mild symptoms. That is why no one, repeat ZERO under the age of 10 has died anywhere in the world, including China, Iran or Italy .
As more test are done you will see more confirmed cases but death rate % dropping as it already has started to do that’s because it is more mild than reported for most people and so far only serious cases get counted for the most part.
There will be more deaths, serious yes, it might even surpass the 12,461 deaths in US in 2009 from H7N9 aka swine flu.
Look: The two countries that have done the most testing that can be relied upon is S Korea and Germany , they have tested well over 350,000 and have a combined 12,761 cases and 84 deaths for a fatality rate of .0065 or less than 1%. That is more than the flu but nothing like what some are reporting here and in the news.
As a matter of fact if you add up the top 15 countries with reported cases excluding China, Italy and Iran you get over 35,000 cases and 501 deaths for a fatality rate of .014-about 1%. It’s probably lower and more in line with Germany and S Korea as many cases are even more mild go unreported.
Furthermore: Worldwide there are 74,779 active cases and 92% , or 68,991 are rated as mild, 5888 are rated as serious, 75,992 have recovered and about 5,850 died.
So until we get a better data set to see how many people are infected (and we may never know as many recover without reporting) at the very least we shouldn’t jump to conclusions and make these projections in the chart.
From the Seattle Times, Dec. 16, 2019 =>
__________
Washington is one of a handful of places in the U.S. with particularly high flu activity, along with Nebraska, Puerto Rico and a swath of Southern states stretching from Texas to Virginia, according to the CDC.
In Washington, 4.4% of doctor visits were from people with a flu-like illness — far above the state’s 1.5% baseline. And 2.78% of King County doctor visits were from flu patients, compared to a baseline of 1.45%.
Thanks for the serological test link...it has more information than the CDC site itself!

Yes and many now think this started in October or November in China. Very possible it’s been here since December
