Former Chief of Neuroradiology at Stanford University Medical Center Dr. Scott Atlas ... 'The data is in — stop the panic and end the total isolation.'
...
we're in a different position now than we were a month ago, and that position is, we have a lot of evidence. We don't need to just simply emphasize hypothetical projections. We can combine that empirical data instead of ignoring it, we can combine that with our knowledge of fundamental biology decades we've known a lot about viruses, a lot about infections, and for decades even about this family of viruses. And then we can thoughtfully combine that evidence with the way to restore the country in a safe way.
...
Point number one is that the overwhelming majority of people do not have any significant risk of dying. This is showing all over the world. And in fact, what induced the panic was this overestimation of what's called the fatality rate of the infection by the World Health Organization.
...
now we know from data all over the world, including the U.S., that a massive number of people have the virus that were either asymptomatic. In fact, 50 percent of people that are infected have zero symptoms.
And then another large percentage have nothing really significant that demands any medical care and certainly not hospitalization. So, when you look at the newer data that has come out, the estimates are that the fatality rate is very low, maybe 0.1 percent.
...
the number one underlying condition is obesity and diabetes. Those are the top two and hypertension.
...
other diseases like kidney disease, congestive heart failure... are significant underlying conditions, if you're young and otherwise healthy, you have essentially zero risk of dying in a very, very low risk

Does he mean the 2 million Americans didn’t die like in their projections? How can that be?
You can’t cause PANIC if you don’t Overestimate
Lie, damn lies, and statistics...
Agreed. Like they are all sciencey and all. /sarc
The NIH/CDC/FDA should have been able to investigate the unfolding of the WuHuFlu in Korea/Taiwan/Indonesia to get better estimates of model parameters to better predict the progression of the pandemic in the US.
Experts? Schmexsperts.
Panic induced by the lame stream media.
Pennsylvania.. the Wolf administration was caught adding up to 269 fake deaths to the state totals.. Unfortunately for the Democrat governor he got caught.
And it just happened to take place the day after hundreds of protesters converged on the state capitol in Harrisburg.
And, worst of all, projections.
If it’s good enough for Fauci and Birx, it’s good enough for Trump.
CDC claims the right to assume cause of death, thus they forfeit the right to claim their stats are credible..
Overestimation of the fatality rate? This guy ought to tour NYC/North Jersey hospitals, get a look at the refrigerated trucks storing the dead, and visit Hart Island. This is not the ordinary flu.
This, as they say is the MONEY LINE:
“50 percent of people that are infected have zero symptoms”
So, HALF of the people that get the virus do not sick at all. Not even a mild fever or cough.
New York ordered nursing homes to take sick coronavirus patients, exposing their frail and elderly patients to the virus with deadly consequences. ..
Andrew, the old people killer, had his test tube lab, the nursing home in Seattle. What happened there showed him how to decimate senior citizens in nursing homes.
It was simple just transfer patients with the CV virus to the under trained and equipped nursing homes.
Then, stand back and watch the CV virus kill innocent senior citizens.
Next, go on tv and blame President Trump because your state didn’t have enough ventilators, which it had in excess.
There is at least one good thing to come from this projected virus panic.
Now we all have had a good taste of how it is to live under Communism.
And I don’t like it.
Spanish Flu... 25% death rate among those infected... 3% of the worlds population wiped out.
Corona Chinese Italian Covid-19... 0.1% death rate among those infected. IF this virus gets to a million deaths, 800,000 more will need to die and it will be 0.01% of the earths population.
Deaths due to our economy’s being destroyed world wide... A helluva lot more than a million.
What do you expect from Tommy the Commie Wolf?
86% of coronavirus cases are asymptomatic. (no symptoms).. Dr. Marty Makary from Johns Hopkins University
corrupt media strikes again. Trump needs a bold strategy for minimizing the grandstanding press.
