The reason is the ComDems and the media are Lying every breath. And the frantic media is supporting the Big Lie.

The ComDems must lie, if they told the truth no one would ever elect them.

If it helps...

1/2 of 1% is 0.5%

Not 0.05%

It’s just a wild guess on my part.

But the map for Type A, looks exactly like the map of the spread on china virus here in the USA:

It’s a long list, and not just state actors.

Possibly, but if they didnt, we just made it easier for them with our frigging national freakout.

Interesting.

Who or what?

I looked at the same analysis. Type A is where it goes.

OK, well we all think a lot of things. Care to put some rationale behind your “I don’t think so”?

Lastest Pennsylvania data, less than an hour old:

25254 tested

2751 tested positive (10.8%)

22 deaths (0.79% of those positive or 0.087% of those meeting testing criteria)

Remember, you have to be pretty darn symptomatic in order to get tested.

This is great. The article deals with all the questions I have about reporting of this virus. The supposed information seems too speculative and too easily adapted to political motives.

I’m type A+

It may be more susceptible than others, but I doubt that is the key. The key is other disease conditions, like autoimune diseases, cancer, diabetes and high blood pressure.

How deadly is it LONG TERM?

Maybe doesn't kill you round one, but round 2, 3 or 4?

Or maybe makes you more less able to fight other infections in the future?

All things I don't want to find out the hard way.

“I looked at the same analysis. Type A is where it goes.”

Yeah. And it seems to stay away from Type B.

Yes, those diseases are making it deadly.

I was just talking about catching it.

South Korea wins the bullseye award for Coronavirus prevention imo by developing Coronavirus test immediately after becoming aware of virus before there were major problems. The S. Korea curbside approach to testing people as seen on TV is arguably regarded in US culture as inconvenient, below our dignity.

On the other hand, CDC failed by its own name, CDC official initially basically telling us to ignore virus in early WH press releases, the CDC also sending out defective testing kits.

I will admit that Asian countries have probably had much more experience with battling new viruses that USA has.

Abbott senior researcher on TV last night (Fri, 3-27-20) said that their COVID-19 te$ting kit is going to be out (shipping?) next week, which takes us into April, the test possibly taking only “minutes,” for results.

Minutes, Not Hours: Rapid Testing for Coronavirus (0:52 min.)

No, COVID-19 is not as deadly as flu imo, but at questionable $25,000 to $50,000 per ventilator, it can cost a heck of a lot more for full recovery.

Corrections, insights welcome.

Remember in November!

MAGA, also KAGA! (Keep America Great Always!)

Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping COVID-19 will effectively give fast-working Trump a third term in office imo.
