Dr. Dan Erickson, owner of Accelerated Urgent Care, spoke at Monday’s “White Coat Summit” on Capitol Hill as part of a greater effort to extinguish fears surrounding the Chinese coronavirus and reminded the public that “99.8 percent of people get through this with little to no progressive or significant disease.”
Erickson addressed the dominant narrative of rising cases of the virus within the U.S. and pointed out that it is causing undue fear.
“A case is a person, healthy, that tested positive. The vast majority. But the public hears cases and thinks, ‘Oh my goodness. These are sick people!’ No the vast majority — 99.8 percent of people get through this with little to no progressive or significant disease,” Erickson said.
The focus should not center on cases, he continued. Rather, the narrative should focus on hospitalizations and deaths that “are appropriately coded on a death certificate,” he said, stressing “appropriately coded.”
“This is the first time I’ve seen quarantining healthy,” he continued. “I don’t know if you guys think that’s normal. I find that very strange.”
While he said it was good that the U.S. prepared for the worse, Erickson said we must be “realistic with the response.”
“Who showed up? Most of the patients that were showing up for me were very mild illness,” he said, adding that he wanted to come out and “give reality to the situation on the ground and sort of help dispel some fear that people have had.”
Erickson also addressed the mass lockdowns across the country, explaining that they were “very successful,” but in all the wrong metrics:

Yes, but we are under siege. I mean that with zero hyperbole.
FWIW Dr. Immanuel said she has been threatened for talking about Hydroxychloroquine, zinc and Z-pac. That's how bad it is.
She has the right nickname. Warrior!

I’m convinced! But it’s the Karens that you have to reach!
On steroids. We need more people to side with the facts and freedom.

I clicked your link and YouTube says the video you love has been removed for “violating Community Standards”.
I guess the good doctor is being silenced.

Frankly, he's pretty lucky to be doing as well as he is. As I've said here before, if my wife were still alive I'd be taking a very different approach to this whole thing as it concerns my household. She didn't survive her second bout with cancer. As such, she'd be at extremely high risk from this or any other disease, and I would be acting appropriately to protect her as best as I could.
Since I just have myself to worry about, and I'm reasonably healthy, without any known underlying conditions, I'm just living my life as much as normally as I can. People can take a look at their relative risks and do what makes sense to them. We don't need a bunch of screaming Karens to tell us how to live our lives.
