Dr. Ben Carson says there is not enough attention being paid to the number of people who have recovered from coronavirus, noting that the number is going to be about 98 percent of all the people who get it.
Carson, a pediatric neurosurgeon who serves as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), also said the one-quarter to fully one-half of all people who will get SARS-CoV-2 will show no symptoms at all.
You probably do know someone that has it, you may have it, who knows? Carson told Fox News host Martha MacCallum on Thursday. But people have been terrified because weve talked about the bad.
SARS stands for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome. This new virus is an off-shoot of that one, which emerged in 2003 less deadly but more infection. In that 2003 outbreak, The World Health Organization (WHO) said the fatality rate for SARS was 14% to 15%. The agency estimated the fatality rate for people older than 64 years to be more than 50%
When we see that bell-shaped curve and weve seen it come down rather steeply in some other countries when that happens [and] we havent seen it go back up, thats what we are looking for here, he said. That already seems to be starting.
Obviously, we dont want to [resume economic activity] too early. We will wait for a couple of weeks and see if that continues down and then we also need to make sure that we have appropriate testing, he said, adding We cant operate out of hysteria. When people are hysterical they dont do logical things.
Well, that, and a host of pharmaceuticals that interfere with the disease process...
He may have meant to note that the 2% number is from those tested and known to have it. That he mentions we don’t know how many have really had it would mean the number is far less. We can’t really know.
It being Spanish Flu?
Source please?
Again, it doesn't mean you are dead either.
How long does it take to treat cancer or heart disease for example? YEARS in same cases.
And how long has coronavirus been here? A few months if that for most patients.
Rather Alinsky of me to turn their own rhetoric against them.
I've noticed the phrase has lost currency on the left since I started cramming it back down their throats...
I agree with that assessment 100%.

‘Face
Use the total infected to calculate the survival rate.
Report your results here.
I double dog dare you.
Here's the formula based on JHU CSSE numbers as of 7:31
Recovered cases 389,651 Confirmed cases 1,721,353
Multiply by 100 to get the percentage of survivors.
I triple dog dare you!
91.7 = 91.7%
Old saying. GIGO.
So if a quarantine causes just one suicide or child to be beaten to death, it's not worth it.
It's currently closer to 4% than 2%
If true, by the time Covid burns through the population that means ~6.5mm dead Americans. I would say thats very unlikely.
That's assuming everyone gets it which is unlikely. But if 50 million get it, which is the approximate number of people who get the flu, then the death rate would still be between 1.5 and 2 million. We won't know until we can test widely and we still can't do that.
>>So is he saying we will have a 2% death rate?<<
Who knows? It’s practically a fact-free article. He says something and no one bothers to ask a clarifying question. Par for the course.
He might well have meant that 98% of people recover without even needing to see a doctor. In fact, that’s probably pretty close to true, but we don’t know because journalism has died in this country.
Actually they were okay for the defensive stage of the war. In war, when you are attacked, it should initiate three phases.
Phase one - organized defense to prevent being overwhelmed by the attacker.
Phase two - Organization of resources and establishment of logistics to sustain the war effort.
Phase three - Counter offensive to destroy the attackers ability to inflict further damage.
Fauci and Birx organized an effective defense. Pence and his team organized resources and logistics.
No one was put in charge of the counter offensive.
A military person should have been assigned this. The various weapons available (hydroxychloroquine, HiV drugs, transfusions, plasma therapy etc.) should have been deployed in a strategy driven offensive against the invader. Instead we have remained in a totally defensive posture, ergo Fauci and Birx at the forefront. Meanwhile doctors in the field and a few reactive universities have been limited to independent gorilla maneuvers to strike back at the invader.
Mr. President, WHY isn’t this brilliant man running the show instead of Fauci?

The H1N1 flu is still around and probably always will be. It has just moderated itself in order for it to maximize its survival.
Except it isn't.
When the death rate would still be between 1.5 and 2 million.
Zero probability.
Professor Didier Raoult Releases the Results of a New Hydroxychloroquine Treatment Study on 1061 Patients
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3833916/posts
5 patients died.
973 patients survived.
978 completed cases.
Using completed cases as the denominator:
0.51% died
99.49% survived
100% total
Using all diagnosed as the denominator:
0.47% died
91.71% survived
92.18% total
You have captured the weakness in the old liberal chestnut used to cram more insanity through congress and into out lives.
Except you left out those transferred to intensive care, those requiring more than 10 days of hospitalization etc etc. They are still not dead.
Its pretty impressive that in only 10 days, 91.7 % recovered. Most diseases and treatments require far more time than that.
