It seems it might be much worse than I had originally thought. Dr. Michael Osterholm at University of Minnesota believes we will have in the USA 96 million cases of the virus, 48 million hospitalizations and over 480,000 deaths over the next 3-7 months. Grim.

More info is available in this interview on JRE:

169,500 diagnosed and 6,500 fatalities in China, where the number of new cases are slowing down. 480,000? Bullschit.

And this happened in China because China took it seriously and intervened. It didn't happen naturally. The point to all the warnings and projections here is to get people here to do what China was able to do. The difference is that the Chinese tend to do what they are told, while we have people here who think they know more than the experts and who see conspiracy theories in everything they aren't capable of understanding.

Hard to believe anything China says though.

Take China’s word for numbers. That’s smart.

And is America doing the same things as China did to try to contain it? Or did the CDC test only 77 people last week?

The World War 1 flu mutated and got deadlier as it progressed. Wonder could that happen with this virus?

Given they pushed back patient zero to NOVEMBER, chances are you've already had it. I had a NASTY respiratory cold in Dec and Jan. May have been it - don't know. Didn't see a doc. All they do is tell you to rest, fluids and stay home. So I did that without the copay.

Mortality rate is a sheit statistic, the number of those who've had it is VASTLY under reported so its inflating the death rate.

For heavens sake this isn’t about Trump. Damn this is getting tiresome.

Tomorrow, the new Covid numbers will be released. The last. Umbers came out Friday. On Friday, Italy saw their highest number of mortalities in one day from the virus. As a result, the place is all under quarantine and people are singing to each other in the streets through their windows. Look in to something instead of immediately saying this is just the media trying to screw Trump.

This same scenerio is repeated everywhere. I got sick then pneumonia that took 41 days to recover from. The docs I talk to from Lackland AFB think its been here because whatever test they were doing weren’t adding up and they weren’t testing for this Kung-Flu.

Furthermore, they were perplexed at my x-ray pattern of pneumonia and got a call last week for me to come in tomorrow for a check. Freaky !

I had something like that several months ago. Fever, night sweats, dry aching cough. It was on me for about 2-3 weeks. I didn't go to the doctors either.

Now I am also wondering if it had been around back then, but not really diagnosed.

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

I was talking to someone yesterday and they said the same thing.


Been thinking about it, as I had a weird cough for a couple weeks.

They shut down the old folks to visitors....

All this time the docs told me, they thought it Was a flu caused viral pneumonia. Supposedly they are going back investigating pneumonia clusters as a better indicator of the theory

That's very interesting. I was sick for three weeks in late December through Mid-January with an upper respiratory ailment in January. Worst I've ever had. Maybe I'm immune now!
