Half of the 17% of passengers infected had no symptoms at all.
Good catch. Thanks.
Because it is not nearly as deadly and dangerous as all of the Panic mongers say it is. I believe months and years from now when all of the numbers finally come out and are crunched the WHO and alarmists will have egg on their face over this. There will be hearings with the CDC heads where they will be gulping glasses of water placed on green felt tables in Congress while dodging questions.
“PLEASE LOOK AT ITALY!”...they scream
The official numbers for the Diamond Princess Cruise Ship:
Confirmed: 696
Deaths: 7
Recovered: 325
Active: 364
“the epidemic RAGED (emphasis my own) on the ship”
Seriously? Hyperbole much?
Possibly to inflate the CVD-19 numbers for the U.S.?
Why? Because the press has gaslighted people into thinking this is the deadliest bug ever and will kill everyone, but it is no stronger than the flu.
China used the bug to get rid of the anti-Communist protesters in China.
The liberal press is using the bug to hurt our economy as that is what Trump has been running on.
Great post; thread. Thanks. Freeper McGee’s great threat assessment very, very early on was to watch the cruise ships.
EXCELLENT!!!!!!! Article.
The scariest part is that near HALF of all people who have it DON’T KNOW IT (NO symptoms).
Hey, I’m not sick gramma.
Well, unless you had the specific Corona Virus test, you CAN’T know since HALF of the people with it don’t know it.
Thank you for posting. It is refreshing to see data versus hysteria. I have never been less happy with the Trump administration.
So, if you have to choose one or the other would you want to be aboard the Diamond Princess with COV19 being passed around or the 1918 Spanish flu?
Look, Trump did the right things. What choice did he have? Could be a chump either way, best to err on the side of caution.
With 50% of the infected having NO SYMPTOMS, self quarantine and social distancing makes perfect sense to stopping/controlling the spread.
This too shall pass.
I’m no epidemiologist, but wouldn’t the fatality rate in the beginning of an epidemic be much lower than later on because all the advanced care, medical equipment, and healthy doctors and nurses is available and concentrated on few patients?
As the system gets more and more loaded, there is less and less care for each individual patient until you reach the triage point where the oldest and weakest patients get zero care.
Even the oldest people on Diamond Princess got the best available care in the hospitals. Today, the oldest infected Italians are told “there’s nothing we can do for you. Enjoy your slow death.”
Great find! Thanks for posting that!
bkmk
Cruise ships usually have better-than-hospital levels of hygiene, sanitation, and disease prevention due to the prevalence of norovirus.
Simple as that.
