Reality says
If the total death count doesn't change much at all, the case may well be that the "pandemic" is a hoax: the test could be identifying a conventional Corona-virus


How dare you take away the Great Socialist Paradise premise for martial law and bossing the country into an economic train wreck, just to keep wrist flipping LibbyFuck Chicken Littles from running around screaming their little lungs out in panic.

They need a panic to override this needless democracy and these pointless freedoms we have for our own good.

Right. If there was some conspiracy behind this (which I am not saying I think there is), you really think it's the far left behind it ?

Meanwhile, how many trillions are getting pumped in to our economy right now, while the market is holding a fire sale ?

Wuhan virus is likely to save at least 50,000 elderly from dying of the flu this year

They won't be around long enough to catch the flu that would have killed them.

Europe starting to flatten with Italy first.

- We will have a larger immune population
- Our Healthcare system will have more time to adapt with ventilators etc
- We will have better testing
- We will have more drug options to treat the worst cases
- We will ultimately have a vaccine.

In other words, we will see the absolute worst of this disease in America in the next 10 days

Quotes 5 things that have no chance of making a difference in 10 days, but believes the pandemic will miraculously peak in 10 days.

Right wing people don't have anyone they love above 60, and think elderly lives don't matter enough to affect their lives choices.

And people in good health below 50 who think they're just gonna sail through this thing without missing a beat are not listening to voices from the front lines. Some younger healthy people ARE dying or have permanently damaged lungs.

Some younger healthy people


Even though it's much deadlier than the regular flu, not very many young healthy people die from it. Most of the stories about young people dying seem to include mention of other serious illness, like leukemia, etc.

OK, so that's 150,000,000 x 0.2 x 0.01 = 300,000. About 3.75x the number of flu deaths in 2018.


For Covid-19, this will probably decline in about a year, after the CDC and others review more data and estimate the number of infected who didn't go to the hospital or doctor.

“Getting vaccinated against the flu is important because a coronavirus outbreak that strikes in the middle of a flu epidemic is much more likely to overwhelm hospitals and increases the odds that the coronavirus goes undetected. This was probably a factor in Italy, a country with a strong anti-vaccine movement, he said.“

@tovarichpeter 's last post.

What happened to him?
