Lower than expected because of travel bans and “UNPROVEN” medicine that POTUS mentioned.
Although I’m sure it is less than feared or even calculated, there is no doubt that it’s a killer. NYC was not a usual flu outbreak.
Jury still out. Right now, US CFR is about 4.6%. Worldwide, about 6.2%.
Any week now it’s gonna peak and your going to have to bring out your dead!
Hmmm...
Fear Brothers will come up with all kinds of nonsense and say how the quarantine saved the country and it was worth spending 6.4 gazillion dollars
Want to Defeat Coronavirus? Address Diabetes and Hypertension.
Only way to find out is widespread antibody testing.
There is absolutely NO scientific basis for such an assertion. Diseases spread according to exponential functions; for Covid-19 to have spread so fast to so many people is inconsistent with the mathematics and biology of disease transmission. Likewise, there is no scientific basis for any claim that the death rate is lower than the actual death rate that is derived from the actual case numbers.
You mean Flubros 1 Serf Bro’s 0.
That's an awful big unsupported if.
Yet more “creative math”...using various “# of people infected or previously infected & recovered” numbers that vary wildly from 0.5% of the population to 15% of the population one can make a case for “3-4x worse than the regular flu” all the way down to “COVID is less dangerous than regular flu”. Until we get better case #’s from serology/antibody tests then it is all just guesswork.
The CDC and the HHS jumped the shark.
They used models to panic the nation.
The People have mitigated and will continue but the ways of mitigation have to be adjusted.The vulnerable need to be protected. Everybody else? Lets roll.
Time to open up the country.
Release the HCQ kraken!
So much winning.
Well, a lot of assumption going on here, and we all know what that means.
No doubt though that fatality rate here is much lower than China’s.
This will eventually go down as possibly the biggest over reaction in the history of the world. Yes people died and this is sad, but most of them already had problems that would have taken them soon anyway. We did learn some things though. How quick were we to rule the elderly as not worth a ventilator. How quick were we to say that as bad as we made the risk out to be it was worth it to still keep on killing babies. I hope god will forgive us as a nation. He must be so disappointed in us. I for one am ashamed to be part of the human race based on our reaction. God forgive us, we know not what we do.
Leading German Virologist: ”No Transmission Of The Virus In Supermarkets, Restaurants Or Hairdressers Has Been Proved”

Mr Streeck is a professor for virology and the director of the Institute of virology and HIV Research at the University Bonn. He explained the methodology of his new study in Heinsberg, the “epicentre” of Germany’s COVID-19 outbreak, and talked about potential plans for a country to move forward gradually in getting back to a “normal” life.
These research findings have already provided some indication on how the virus works, as Streeck clarified:
“There is no significant risk of catching the disease when you go shopping. Severe outbreaks of the infection were always a result of people being closer together over a longer period of time, for example the après- ski parties in Ischgl, Austria.” He could also not find any evidence of ‘living’ viruses on surfaces. “When we took samples from door handles, phones or toilets it has not been possible to cultivate the virus in the laboratory on the basis of these swabs….”

Like everywhere else, 95% people on freerepublic are idiots.
I survived something that was so much worse than the flu,
and all I have to show for it is this jacket that says
“IT IS NOT THE FLU you Fxxxxxx Axx Hxxxs’.
Meanwhile massive unemployment figures, millions of
businesses on the ropes. Landlords across the nation
bleeding loans and other bills they can’t pay. Six point
whatever trillion new national debt. A market that lost
over a trillion dollars of capital on paper. Real estate
properties frozen in time. A twenty trillion dollar
economy stopped dead in it’s tracks, and Leftists out the
kazoo saying, “See, we told you that it was possible to
stop polluting the world with no down side.’
And all we get...
The Emily Latella response, “Oh! Nevermind.”
What can we obsess over next?
Whatever it is, when someone mentions the word
pandemic all I am going to have for them is a
massive glare.
Told ya. Check my posts. I have consistently been right on this.
You get to see who will give up ANY of their freedoms for the slightest perceived sense of safety.
