Not as much fun for the hysterical:

Fewer new cases then at any point since January 27th.

Cases outside Hubei now only 1 in 7; they once were the majority.

I think this virus isn’t NEARLY as contagious as the Chinese made it out to be; they’re covering for the fact that it was a full-blown epidemic in Hubei before they admitted it existed. That’s why the death rate in Hubei is 10x what it is outside of Hubei: they’ve under-reported the illness by a factor of 10 inside Hubei.

Comment @ you tube:

“I’m not saying it’s body burning, could be a not a faulty filter at powerplant. Nevertheless those hotspots are among top 5 highest in the world.”

City of Wuhan in China is where China has set up a high-tech lab to do research on deadly viruses. Is it possible Corona-virus got out by accident from there, and not from the fish market? Was the virus supposed to be released in a major country who is imposing tariffs on Chinese goods and thus throwing a monkey wrench in China’s ambition to become world’s dominant economic power?

80,000 people died in 2018 flu season in United States from the standard flu. That is 667 people EVERY DAY during standard flu season in US. Why that is not causing panic and sensational news headlines?

Because when a nation quarantines or locks down over 400 million people it likely isn’t because everything is normal or they are trying to get into the Guinness book of world records.

There are really good reasons to believe that the Chinese figures are about as grounded in reality as Bernie.

Global propaganda alert! Globql propaganda alert!

Viruses and bacteria are one celled organisms

Viruses have a unique feature of having no living body

In short all of these are murdered without question by colloidal silver

The silver ion is a miraculous and unique feature of God’s universe

Don’t be fooled by government propaganda and be herded into some government barracks to receive your shot of poisonous nonsense into your veins!

Listen here to yours truly, truth over power, and either a: purchase or B: make your own silver ions in water!

To
Your health !

-truth over power.

Man, you have some catching up to do.

And please copy me on the “hysterical” posts.

This thing is just getting started. Go watch some of the videos of the government chaining the doors shut to people’s house to prevent them from going out. Or the spraying of Wuhan.

The cases and deaths were limited by the CCP, the low number of test kits and no hospital beds.

And let’s not forget the construction of 1500 extra hospital beds in a freakin’ well.

Or more people under lockdown than live in the US.

You really need to stop with the flu comparison. The flu is a kitten compared to this tiger.

Do burning bodies produce s02?

i’d tend to agree, but this virus can really do a number on your lungs if left untreated. pulmonary fibrosis is hard to reverse. I think the death rate is actually higher because ccp is lying about the numbers.... for many days the daily infect vs death rate was 2.1% each day , does this Wuhan pneumonia know math?

perhaps, but they do suspect they were also burning other used medical items, there are no waste management in wuhan now. there are also no running factories producing so2.

And yet... the number of new cases is already in decline.
