This site is the best one I've seen on corona virus. They are really trying to get it right.

I've never witnessed such panic. The crowd is usually wrong.

Look at the bright side: They say it kills the elderly. Hillary is 72.

I went to the local higher end market today and there was an associate in front of the store directing everyone to put produce bags on both arms before entering the store - yes, the thin long ones that are hard to get open you put your carrots in.

She call them “gloves”.

Normally, I would have turned around but my propane tank was empty, a porterhouse left marinating on the counter and the everyone was hungry so I complied with produce bags and proceeded on to procure one rotisserie chicken of questionable age.

What a freak show.

The number of deaths they say from this corona virus (150 U.S. deaths) is orders of magnitude less than for a regular flu.

In the 2018 flu season there were 80,000 U.S. deaths due to the flu.

A lot of people are out of work. A lot of small business owners can’t make income because of all this news media generated hysteria.

The news media is deliberately causing an economic depression to defeat Trump in the election.

For what it’s worth, the British government is saying if they get through this with ‘only’ 20,000 deaths, they’ll feel lucky. Italy is getting hammered by this and Spain’s graph looks very scary.

I can understand the media going crazy over this—if it bleeds, it leads and if it hurts PDJT so much the better, but every world leader, including some who don’t have to worry about little things like the press are reacting pretty much the same way.

I'm wondering if I myself may have had this thing back in late January early February? When I read how some people infected are just experiencing nothing more than symptoms of "mild cold". I had been travelling every week for work through the first two months of the year. In late January, and going through about two weeks I had a dry cough and runny nose.

Slim to none chances it was COVID-19, I know, but still...I wonder.

I've been more worried about a return of my damn cluster headaches. It's been 22 months since my last series.

The article falsely claims 10x, but I’ve read elsewhere the “walking contagious” are 50x reported cases. I estimated Sunday in our city 1/300 to 1/3000 had it. Based on the increase in the hospitals looks like I was right.

The multiplier may get lower as there are more test kits. I’ve read 80% are immune. Of the 20% that get it, 80% have no or minor symptoms but can still be contagious.

And FYI everything after the question mark in the web address is unneeded. https://www.justfactsdaily.com/vital-facts-about-covid-19 is enough. The rest is your tracking ID assigned by the website or the one that sent you there.

They’re predicting 20% unemployment soon.

How many millions worldwide and in the USA will the economic depression kill that is caused by the news media?

Most countries show no deaths from this corona virus . The daily deaths from this corona virus are not increasing in almost every country.

50 million people die in the world every year.

3 million die in the USA every year . In the USA 40,000 die of the regular flu each year. They say 150 died in the USA from this corona virus.

I’m waiting for Louis Farrakhan to explain everything about Covid-19 to us. He’s the expert on the number 19.

In 2015 there were 2.7 million deaths in the US (not counting children killed by abortion). It has probably gone up a bit since then but probably still below 3 million annually. In 2015 57,000 people died of influenza or pneumonia (influenza often leads to pneumonia).

In a typical week 50,000+ people die in the US.

https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20200310/know-the-symptoms-of-covid19

COVID-19 is a lower respiratory tract infection, which means that most of the symptoms are felt in the chest and lungs. That’s different from colds that bring on an upper respiratory tract infection, where you get a runny nose and sinus congestion. Those symptoms seem to be mostly absent for people with COVID-19, though they’re not unheard of.”

The current death rate in the US is .04% of the people. Sheep can scare easily.
