This whole thing stinks to high heaven. At most so far 59 people have died, with most of them being in one nursing home in Kirkland WA. The media is fear mongering harder than ever to make orange man look bad. Schools and businesses are closing which is sure to send us into recession if not worse. Out of 330,000,000 people, 59 have died in the US and everything is screeching to a halt. Something isn't right here but it's fucking everything up. The economy was the best it's ever been in the history of our country and now everything is going to shit because of less than 100 deaths. More people probably die each year from skiing accidents. This is un fucking believable.
EDIT: I'm not saying this is a total hoax. I'm saying the media overreaction is making things way worse than they have to be. Panicking is never going to make anything better. If this is truly as bad as some of you are saying, I hope it justifies sending our economy into great depression 2 Corona boogaloo
South Korea has 75 deaths, and new cases appear to be on the decline.
China also appears to have stabilized with 10-25 new deaths per day.
In Italy, where shit is completely hitting the fan and mass hysteria reigns, the highest daily death toll that they've had is on par with the average daily number of deaths attributable to standard influenza (roughly 250)
Strip out Washington state from our numbers and we're at 20 dead out of 2,500 positive tests.
People will die from this. But 100,000? 1,000,000? In just the U.S.? The data doesn't support that.
I agree with you.
There is much fear mongering going on, but maybe to keep people quarantined to prevent the spread?
As I wrote further up, the cases in South Korea that they thought were CoronaVirus, ended up being 96% false positive and were a different type of virus causing similar symptoms...this is from the CDC doctor at the press conference yesterday.
Fear mongering from world wide Pedos and their treasonous MSM partners!
For Italy, don’t forget that we don’t know what EU handout programs kick in and what Italy’s reporting does for them.
Stop being logical. You will hurt toilet paper sales.
Adjusting for population: If we had China's rates we'd lose about 1,000 people by the time this is over; if we have South Korea's rates we'd lose about 500.
