Under Trump, America is less prepared for a coronavirus outbreak
CNN ^ | Feb. 20, 2020 | Opinion by Chelsea Clinton and Devi Sridhar

Posted on 02/25/2020 7:35:12 PM PST by The_Media_never_lie

The coronavirus that emerged from Wuhan, China, last year is causing alarm across the world, with fear that this could become the next pandemic. Late last month, the World Health Organization declared the virus, named COVID-19, a "Public Health Emergency of International Concern" and urged an immediate international response.

It advised its member states to put in place national preparedness plans and procedures for identifying and responding to any COVID-19 cases that might present. The death toll of more than 2,600 people far exceeds that of the SARS outbreak nearly 17 years ago.

Today's snowflakes know NO history at all;hence the hysterics, I guess.

Snowflakes need a safe space to protect them from a Red hat, scaring them into panic is quite simple.

“I’m certain more will, but the point is, the mortality rates are not the
thing of mass death.”

Many people, especially the elderly or those with other health issues are very susceptible to the coronavirus.

In China, 50 million people are in quarantine; a record in human history.

The problem is while treatable, there’s limitations to any health system of any country. If the virus spreads and it’s spreading fast in newly infected areas/countries, it can overwhelm the health system.

That means people become ill and die. No one truly knows the actual death rate in China. Their numbers are not trusted by anyone with common sense.

Maybe the warmer weather will help curb its spread and end it. But there’s no playbook with this one. We’ll have to wait and see.

Ahhhh. Is this the same "WHO" that the public Western face of said that he would rather be in Red China than anywhere else for treatment if he had the virus?

WHO envoy (Bruce Aylward) says if he had Wuhan virus, he'd 'want to be treated in China'

THAT worm?

I think it is a good idea to have concern, but I do recall how the population got whipped into a frenzy by the media for Swine Flu and SARS.

Having concern is a correct approach. Panic isn’t at this time.

Maybe the deep state has no interest in subverting this website.

Maybe they never thought of trying to thwart the narrative of FR threads.

Hmmm?

Here’s a tip for you.

If you’re truly interested in figuring out who they are, derive from their posts the character of the narrative they’re pushing.

I mean, really. What is there to be gained by sticking with the deep state?

Their ideas are so low IQ that they have to hide everything they do. In fact, hiding what they do is by far the number one thing on their list of priorities, strategies, tactics and maneuvers.

Hiding is number one in their philosophical beliefs, and it’s their religion.

What do they have?

Nothing!!

Sorry to hear that, but to be honest I don’t choose to myself.

It’s not that I’m afraid of the shot or anything. I just don’t feel the urge to get it.

I’ve been doing fine without it.

The problem with calculating the mortality rate that way, is that it assumes no more deaths out of the total of cases.

That’s a flawed assumption. For that reason it will skew the mortality rate too low.

The way I am doing it, is determining the mortality rate based on concluded/resolved cases. It’s the only way to get the accurate percentage.

Granted, it keeps the rate higher, but it’s still the only way to do it accurately.

I try to explain to folks that it is a fluid number, and is dropping at the current rate I see.

No problem.

I enjoyed the clip anyway.

I don’t know what to make of this thing.

Some very elderly people are surviving it.

I think your scenario about populations being overwhelmed by it is probably on track. In China it seems to have spread like wildfire.

The problem with observations is that you don’t get a full count of all the people affected. You don’t know the actual death count or the count of how many people contracted the illness.

Nobody trusts the Chinese numbers, but to be honest, if our society was deluged with cases, would we know the “real” count either. I doubt it.

Was/is China seeing far higher mortality rates than people outside China will. We simply don’t know.
