........... But in the fact-challenged world of the coronavirus COVID-19, there are still actual facts out there, and Fox News analyst hit a homer with a single post on Twitter.
“As the number of cases has expanded, the mortality rate has declined. It will likely decline even further if and when those without symptoms can be diagnosed and counted,” Hume tweeted.
He included a tweet from another Twitter user that laid out the death rate in the U.S. from COVID-19.
4.06% March 8 (22 deaths of 541 cases) 3.69% March 9 (26 of 704) 3.01% March 10 (30 of 994) 2.95% March 11 (38 of 1,295) 2.52% March 12 (42 of 1,695) 2.27% March 13 (49 of 2,247) 1.93% March 14 (57 of 2,954) 1.84% March 15 (68 of 3,680)
China has a population of 1,437,722,468 as of Tuesday, based on Worldometer elaboration of the latest United Nations data.
COVID-19 was born there, with the first case being diagnosed on Dec. 1.
On Tuesday, there were 81,054 confirmed cases of the virus, according to Johns Hopkins Center for Systems Science and Engineering. Of those, 68,798 recovered, while 3,230 people died, at least according to statistics released by China (figures that could well be cooked by officials there). The remainder were still active cases.
But if the numbers are accurate, that means the infection rate in China was just .006%. How, then, are the “experts” forecasting that well more than 50% of the 320 million people in America — where people already wash their hands incessantly and use Purell nonstop — will be infected?

I think most people would try to avoid homeless people where by not infecting them directly.
Could be squeeze.
Could be that it has, and nobody outside the homeless community noticed.
Just because we have wooden doors doesn't mean we can't be forced in.
If he writes it down on toilet paper people will pay attention.
China will screw the world over and over if we trust their numbers, unleashing wave after wave of carriers.
Trust numbers from the US, SoKorea, EU, Japan, and Australia. They're looking good.
And the Chinese built like 6 ors something new hospitals in a few days to cover extra cases and help patients recover. Also wasn’t there some sort of carbon dioxide cloud newly discovered over that area from potential corpse incinerations? Hard to figure with data from China, I would rather go with Italy numbers and western civilization for right now. Regardless of who is right,it seems economic cat is out of the bag. We just need the whole country to shut down, get the virus out of here and get rolling again. This partial, some states shut down stuff is gonna be the real killer. I’m prepared for 1-2 months shutdown but not 12-18 months of foot dragging.
I heard 5 days to onset of symptoms and then 15 additional days to death, on average for those who die.
You can’t spell pandemic without Dem. PanDEMic?
I believe that Brit Hume may still have an occasionally sharp mind. He gets to show it, from time to time on FAUX News, whenever his views are in alignment with China’s objectives.
As an aside, it seems that little of “News” is news, anymore, and more and more appears to be amateurish attempts to predict the future.
I have been on “work-from-home” for a single week. It’s hard to find out what’s going on and easy to find every amateur crystal-ball-reader’s prediction of what’s going to happen.
Why don’t the “News” providers just use psychics or astrologers?
That’s been around on FB for weeks, nearly the beginning.
Enough with the toilet paper hoarding already. Coronavirus is a respiratory illness not a stomachy one.
I thought FearRepublic was a good one, too.
I want demographics, please.
Here. Allow me. Stupid auto-correct! Welding = wielding!
I worry about Norman Reedus.
Without Daryl Dixon, there’s no more Walking Dead.
:\
Oh, wait. No. You were series? They were welding people inside their homes?
Maybe it has, and they are ignoring sick homeless.
