Dumb. At this point, it’s clear this ChiCom virus unchecked will force a shutdown of hospitals and collapse the healthcare system.

See the breaking point in Italy, Spain and pending with the UK which is already turning people away from testing because the socialist healthcare system doesn’t want to “waste” the money.

We are going to hear more about people dying in their homes bringing the globe back to a time when that was the de facto way most died.

The horror stories are not ending; they are beginning.

The next two weeks will be the greatest growth in the US. Hopefully after that the exponential growth curve will flatten.

In the rest of the world, it’s just starting. (Except for Italy, Spain, and Iran.)

You may well be right. However, I am still wondering.

I skimmed a news story yesterday that said South Dakota ran out of tests. So therefore, if they shut down the state out of the usual “abundance of caution (TM)”, I can’t really blame them.

Italy is significantly older, significantly more smoking, and 1/4 the hospital beds. It’s not remotely the same thing. Look at the confirmed death rate in Germany, Sweden, Belgium etc its very low. Then divide all the death rates by 3-20 for assymptomatic carriers and this is not that bad

True. Though it's based on media hysteria on what we know today is equal to or less then the death rate of the common flu. 10% of those TESTED by the common flu dies. With ChiCom virus TESTED it's between 0.8 to 4.5% depending on the country we take the stats from. We also know 86% by one study shows they will never get tested because they don't get any symptoms. Adding that to the statistic the death rate of the ChiCom virus is 0.2% compared to 0.1% of the common flu. Those countries that administered the failed SARS vaccine of 2004 it's far higher numbers.
