........... 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?

In my book, failing to report cases and deaths is a form of lying.
Exactly.
That looks to me to be a slam of good FReepers here, WH57.
(Don't paint me surprised.)
Ten seconds of search-engining would have availed you of facts and dozens of media stories that the "welding doors shut" was not what some FReeper sucked from his or her thumb.
For example:
Those are mostly the numbers of people in the hospital as they are not testing anyone else. So, again - we want to keep the number down.
Yes, in fact, it does.
Oh, my bad, yo. Guess it’s all good then. Let’s go out!
And the Chinese built like 6 ors something new hospitals in a few days
````
Shell buildings without sewer hook ups, one way doors and few to no windows among other ‘features’
The only info that should be used is non-Chinese data.
Not if people remain cautious. But that doesn’t mean we can’t be invaded by martians.
At least they can blow up Congress.
Absolutely. Additionally, the Chinese are 100% lying about their numbers.
Can we wall it off like Escape from New York?
Exactly, whatever they were. You can’t count on Chinese info about this thing.
Fear Republic.
Yeah, all the morons that went crazy in TP-mania were a bunch of a-holes.
Well, maybe a couple of octogenarian chain-smokers.
Or in the large faction of panic mongers right here.
Then they’d have a legitimate excuse to do nothing.
But we’d still have 2 out 3 branches of government working for the American people, and that ain’t bad.
