Unfortunately, with a mortality rate of 2% - 7% (depending on what numbers you use/believe), we haven’t had enough cases in the US to even know if it is more or less or equally as deadly here. We have to have 1 death in 14 cases at a 7% mortality rate, up to 1 death in 50 cases at a 2% mortality rate. So 8 cases is not enough of a sample to draw any conclusion about its “deadliness” here in the US.
We need to take all appropriate precautions, just in case, but we don’t have enough information or data yet to make many conclusions.
And if you really want to get the tables turned on 9-11 truthers, you can say this was obama’s engineered crisis to achieve his policy goals. Whereas the prior Administration had set in stone military action in Iraq (what if 9-11 was a pre-emption to get us sidetracked from the 5 year plan?), this administration needs a crisis to show how woefully undermanned we are in the healthcare business. What better way than to show the clinics overflowing with people not being served. I aint no troofer. Just shows how you can twist anything to conspiracy.
Dang,,excellent post and I hadn’t thought of that. Our case load is way too low to know the mortality.
A mortality of 6 percent is damned high.
Wonder if they tested O for the virus,,wonder if he was exposed on purpose. Hah!
