Virus death toll tops 3,000 as airlines cut flights
AFP ^ | March 3, 2020

The global death toll from the new coronavirus topped 3,000 on Monday, as airlines cancelled or reduced flights and stock markets swung wildly.

Andorra, the Czech Republic, Indonesia, Jordan, Latvia, Portugal, Tunisia and Saudi Arabia were among countries that confirmed their first cases, along with Senegal, which became the second sub-Saharan African country to do so.

Africa is feared to be particularly vulnerable with its widespread conflicts, poor health infrastructure, porous borders and crowded cities with inadequate sanitation.

"More people died in China, Iran and the United States from the virus, which has now infected nearly 90,000 people with cases in more than 60 countries."

WOW, 6 people die in the USA and that makes us a "more"

Trump's fault, we're all going to die

Africa is feared to be particularly vulnerable

The story from a few weeks ago was that the virus did poorly in hot temperatures, so cooler areas of the globe were seen as particularly vulnerable.

I continue to think this is not very different from SARS or Swine Flu (not epidemiologically, but in terms of Hype).

Will the CDC or the MSM ever tell the American people the race of the people becoming seriously ill or dying from COVID-19 coronavirus? Politically incorrect to note but Caucasians and Africans do not have the same susceptibility as Asians. The MSM never mentions it but that outbreak in Italy occurred in a region heavily populated with Chinese immigrants and Asian guest workers. And by the way, the modern Iranian population has a strong Chinese imprint in its genome.

To be fair, if their god hadn’t “organized the community” of Chicago, they would take as much notice as they do about say, Baltimore once in a while.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-8066545/More-people-China-recovered-coronavirus-infected.html

More people in China have recovered from coronavirus than are still infected as one of the hospitals built amid the outbreak CLOSES after discharging the last of hundreds of patients

Let us do the math

3000 deaths divided by 7,800,000,000,000 people on earth is a world ending crisis how?

“Let us do the math

If even one person dies from the virus, it is a tragedy...just ask any Dem...

That’s why I have labeled it “The Great Dem Hope Virus”...

The fact is at least 75000 people DIE on average in China EVERY DAY.

Their mortality rate on an annual basis is 1.97%.

There are 1.5 Billion people. Do the math.

You got it wrong. It’s 3,197 deaths from 92,000 infected.equates to a death rate of 3.5%. At 7.6b. The projected world death rate would be 266,000,000. Definitely a world depopulation changer.

By way of comparison, according to the CDC, 32 million contracted the flu in the US thus far this flu season, of which 310,00 were hospitalized and 18,000 died.

Make of that what you will...

Please stop with the criminally incompetent drama queen hysteria. 7,800,000,000,000 people on earth 90,000 cases. This is not even as serious as the annual Flu. It is not a world ending pandemic not even close.

So please STOP with incompetent fear mongering. It despicable beyond words that people are deliberately trying to manufacture a panic over nothing.

People, watch the John Hopkins website and not these drama queen lying hysterics for real facts.
