Goes to the heart of assessing where the numbers related to CoVid 19 and the statistics that are being given to us.
Is it flawed? In my opinion, absolutely.
Was the disease engineered in the lab? I am not sure.
Is is as deadly as we are assuming? No.
Figures never lie, but Liars Figure.

Yep - and them figures become gospel to the fearful hordes.
Will China Profit from the Outbreak?...

This media driven hysteria is coming to and end a lot sooner than many believe.
The proof?
I ewalked into my local food store this morning and on the shelves I found
TOILET PAPER!!
After 10 days of shelves being emptied as quickly as they are filled, people are returning to sanity.
Why is it still not clear? Based on projections a month ago our hospitals would be overwhelmed by now .
I read somewhere about the Chinese virus and blood type. So I looked it up:
It turns out there’s a lot of (relatively) blood type A in europe. Lot’s of China Virus.
Where is there alot of A in the USA?
NorthEast Coast, Louisiana, and the Northwest (WA). Same as the epi-centers.
Huh.
India which has a hugh population and is right next to China, has almost no China virus. Lot’s of type B’s there, same for the Korea’s.
Same goes for alot of the mideast, like pakistan, iran (lot’s of A’s too) and iraq. Lot’s of B’s,
Which means that every time a new strain of pathogen comes along, we'll get the exact same response.
Seriously scary part: It doesn’t need to be ginned up in a lab. All the bad actors need are infectious vics who have a new bug and are still ambulatory, add some plane tickets to the target of your choice....Voila!
And if our enemies hadn’t figured that before, you can bet they have now.
Compare the SARS-CoV-1 outbreak in 2003 with the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak now.
“The NIH scientists, from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases’ Montana facility at Rocky Mountain Laboratories, compared how the environment affects SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV-1, which causes SARS. SARS-CoV-1, like its successor now circulating across the globe, emerged from China and infected more than 8,000 people in 2002 and 2003. SARS-CoV-1 was eradicated by intensive contact tracing and case isolation measures and no cases have been detected since 2004. SARS-CoV-1 is the human coronavirus most closely related to SARS-CoV-2. In the stability study the two viruses behaved similarly, which unfortunately fails to explain why COVID-19 has become a much larger outbreak.”

I understand Germany has conducted a massive amount of tests, with their death rate at 1/2 of 1%. .05—much lower than others, and less than predicted—far below panic worthy, probably less than annual flu, iirc.
That’s where we’ll land, much to media’s chagrin.
If it helps...
“It appears that this particular coronavirus likely started in bats.”

Bump
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.
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.
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.

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.
‘If the patient has, say, cancer, motor neurone disease or another serious disease, this will be recorded as the cause of death, even if the final illness was a respiratory infection. This means UK certifications normally under-record deaths due to respiratory infections.”
Hey John Lee. Stay retired. How many cases can be cited as VARDS as a contributing factor? Same issues up to and including DEATH.
Last I heard, China and Italy did not ban it.
Ah, the old communist style lying: When things are not as bad as you claim they are or would be, you claim confusing.
It’s super deadly when you deny patients of the very successful known treatment as they are doing in the United States.
Talk to a real doctor whose in a real hospital yesterday as I was fixing his solar system , and he said the SARS one had a death rate of about 10% and this is way more like 1% AT the tops - but it should be taken seriously
He said all elective surgeries at his hospital we’re being postponed
