Hmmmm.....The counterpoint to this is that China continues to take extreme measures when they find an outbreak. They're not doing that to KO the Trump campaign, but because they think this is a very serious disease.

The media has stopped talking about fatality rates almost entirely. That’s telling.

China would possibly be willing to use extreme medieval measures such as wall people into their own house as what happened in the bubonic plague.

MAYBE China sucks at healthcare surrounding COVID-19.

1,000 out of 1,000 times I’ll take being in the US for my doctoring and healthcare rather than China.

This is the big lie from the beginning. These reported “cases” are almost entirely positives from testing. This is meaningless raw data without a context from which to interpret facts. How many of the daily spikes (if 2400 can be called a spike) were hospitalized? How many are on ventilators? How many have died? Put into a meaningful context, the mortality and the hospitalization rates are extremely low compared to the total positives and low compared to just the hospitalized of whom 95+ percent RECOVER. The old saying that the masses are asses is true, and they are easily fooled and easily panicked. This has been the 1938 War of the Worlds stupidity magnified a million-fold.

I think that these results are consistent with the results seen in 3 Kansas meat packing plants and the Lansing Correctional Facility (State Peniteniary). The Correction Facility had 838 infections with 4 deaths. All but 11 inmates have fully recovered. Dr. Fauci and Colonel Blix have not mentioned this use case. I wonder why?

Chinese tests producing false positives or a complete lie? Or a little of both?

I dunno. I had what might have been a mild case of the coronavirus disease in March. When tested for antibodies (with the Abbott test) in early June, I was seronegative.

I concluded that I never had the coronavirus at all. But according to this article, I might have had it after all. ????

Florida is testing all of the people in migrant labor camps and has seen similar results-—something like 70% of the workers and their families are testing positive with little or no symptoms.

Doesn't matter what China does.

Serious, yes, specifically for older people.

Overblown and overhyped? Absolutely.

Too many pussies in this country now, IMO.

Yes, very few countries spend billions developing (or stealing) bio-weapons so they can give 'the enemy' a mild cases of the flu...

I'm guessing the Chinese are still 'spiking the punch' around what they perceive as military targets. Tampa anyone? Too bad the Pentagon is commie infiltrated and useless - - well, unless the brass discovers someone who shows prejudice against blacks, gays, trans and any other sub-group of the democrat party.

They don't protect the United States they 'protect' the democrat base...(Hey guys, slavery was abolished decades ago - neighter YOU or Biden are keeping anyone out of chains)

Can you imagine living in a world where a top crime was 'not liking' a person who was a member of Republican groups? "OMG - someone insulted a gun club member" - or " send 17 top FBI special agents: someone hung a MAGA hat upside down - could be a hate crime!!!"

Anyway it's time to defund commies who run our military. Why pay with blood, limbs, and treasure for a bunch that can't win a war and only 'defends' middle east thugs and democrat victim groups?

From the article:
"Which in turn means that the fatality rate is even lower than we think."

Or, at least what we think today.

A further counterpoint to the one in your first post is perhaps the real threat will be after a few seasons, when we are all saturated with "antibodies", and the final "virus" will be a very quick acting catalyst.

I hope our best people are all over this.

Seems like no one is talking about the accuracy of the tests.

I read a couple of months ago that the test kits used around the world were 80% defective. And that later test kits from a different supplier were ‘only’ 60% defective How many of those were false positives?

And on top of that, getting a big hunk of taxpayer money for each reported case, that gives even more incentive to report something other than reality.

There is NO WAY they could actually be testing for the SARS-CoV-2 virus which exists in the wild today. It has mutated since they designed the test. Likely, they are testing for a family of coronaviruses. Who knows what these tests actually mean?

Asymptomatic =/= not contagious. I think I’ll pass on Tyson products for a while.

I’ve been watching numbers in the 2 central coast counties in MS...went from under 200 each with 6 and 14 deaths and is now 514 with 7 deaths and 439 with 16 deaths...whatever is going on in China doesn’t appear to be going on here as far as extra deaths...perhaps China is doing a two-fer....squashing more of its people and trying for sympathy..
