I think if those numbers were mentioned alongside any projected COVID-19 death rates, it would cause us all to settle down a bit.


Is covid-19 going to add to this number or just replace the cause of death?

So if someone has lung cancer, heart disease and has lost several limbs to diabetic and contracts COVID-19, is it really a "Corona Death"?

How we count does matter.

There are multiple reports that sound like we'll have a vaccine within a year. In easy terms, the coro-19 virus is a simple virus when compared to a complex flu virus-hence it will an easier vaccine to develop. The coro-19 virus mutates very slow when compared to a flu virus and unlike flu virus only coro-19 only has a single core of RNA which seems to remain constant.

Jack,

It took China 62 days to turn the corner. We are at day 40.



1. if you believe China
2. if we are willing to do what China did (assuming they were even successful)

Reminds me of the 104 year old guy in mn that died from corona...ahem. Well, probably not. Yet he's counted as one of our 5 deaths from it.

I can see this happening if we don't do something to flatten the curve. Then there is the "collateral damage", the people with other issues who won't be able to get the care that they need. The "entitled" and the "privileged" need to pay attention.

Infection rates are meaningless because we are not testing properly.

Predicting exponential growth? You must be a liberal commie queer.


Folks, this is what four weeks of exponential growth looks like.

Those who observed the early days in China and Italy predicted a doubling every four days. We are seeing worse than that in US.

We are on track for :
Apr 1 5,000 dead
Apr 5 10,000 dead
Apr 9 20,000 dead
Apr 13 40,000 dead in the USA. And there is a good chance we will just be getting started at that point

Any body ever see the flu do that? Since 1918 anyway?

No I am not panicking. But I am prepared to spend a few weeks inside the doors of my house when such is needed.

Yeah, maybe the authorities just might have cause for concern.

Maybe that many will die in NYC alone. Those snowflakes are also bent on destroying Florida. Sometimes the Interstate Commerce Clause isn't so good...a slight flaw in the Constitution???

They also have a big population of Somalis who don't wash and have extremely poor habits. New York has some of the best hospitals in the nation. But they have spreaders. Haitians working in Flushing that work in the big mansions of the blue elites in Long Island. You will notice that they are the spreaders.

Mardi Gras nailed Louisiana.

New Yorkers are spreading it up and down the coast.

Atlanta will be a hotspot.

Even if I don't believe the Chinese, Japanese, Korea, Singapore, I believe them.

It is six weeks too late to even think of doing what china did. China quarantined at gun point, a small region of the nation and held the contagion within that region.

This virus is in every region of our nation coast to coast, through Canada and South into Mexico.

I'm calling BS on this.As I'm writing this 35,563 have die worldwide.The world population is 7.8 billion.The odds of dying really are not that great.These confirmed cases are another issue.Some people test positive and have no symptoms.It could be false positives or they could be carriers with no symptoms.Just keep in mind there,there are people all over the world,including some in this Country that would love to see President Trump removed from office and our economy collapse. President Trump is not a Globalist.Globalist hate a strong America.They feel it unfair to them.He is not for giving American taxpayer dollars away all over the world so people can get rich by stealing our money through their dirty little deals at the same time driving up our debt.He's for America First like it should be.I hope like hell we beat this virus and I hope like hell he get re-elcted for another term.You will see an America like most of y'all have never known.An America where just about everything you buy has Made In The USA on it.I saw those manufacturing jobs rapidly leaving our country in the 1970's,I think this event proves to us we need a lot of those jobs back.Here is a good link I found on tracking this virus.It is highly contagious,but the medical people are finding out more and more your best overall defense is still,keep your hands washed,don't touch your mouth,nose and eyes and there is a very good change you will not get the virus. https://www.theepochtimes.com/ccp-virus

They are selling death doom and destruction... politicians and media world wide..

its all about the shock factor.. control of the public and what little freedoms we think we have..

terror gets attention...

100 to 200,000 Americans will die this year of something....
exactly as Mad Mooner says...

heck, I am waiting for people like our stupid Queen/Governor, to start blaming traffic accident deaths on the drivers and passengers died because they had the corona virus...
