It's beginning to look like the experts were right two weeks ago...
Meanwhile, Donald Trump has directly contradicted the doctors at the CDC today, based on his "hunch" that the Covid-19 pandemic is no biggie.

To give that number some perspective, if all the flu cases in the US this season were the COVID-19 variety, the death toll would be roughly 600,000 people instead of 14,000. THAT is why this is different. That is the most idiotic post you've ever made. How did you come up with that number?Multiply the number of flu cases, (estimated at between 32-45 million cases by the CDC) in the US and then multiply it by the estimated death rate from the COVID-19 version...2% 600,000 deaths would be the lower end of expectancy. You're welcome.

I don't think this thing has turned the corner yet. There remains a chance to stem the tide and bring it under control. Let's hope healthcare personnel keep a handle on it.

You're welcome. When the number oc Covid-19 cases hits 45 million, we'll revisit this.If we do, it will be because more than a half million people died. THAT is the point. Downplaying the lethality and pretending that which is not true about the nature of the virus as Trump is doing, is shortsighted and irresponsible.

Downplaying the lethality and pretending that which is not true about the nature of the virus as Trump is doing, is shortsighted and irresponsible. The experts are already saying the lethality rates are skewed by the low number of those infected and the unknown number of mild cases that have not been reported. If someone young and healthy contracts Covid-19 and has only mild flu symptoms they may not see a doctor and it is never reported. Those younger people that contract it overwhelmingly survive, just as with the flu. Virtually all deaths have been in older people with pre-existing conditions. Same for the flu. It seems that Covid-19 is affecting the lungs, and that is particularly fatal in the elderly. Pneumonia is known as the old folks blessing, as they generally pass away peacefully. I'm just saying that the lethality is being exaggerated by the media and the alarmists. We won't know the true lethality rate for some time. Now is time to act, not to fret.

Geez, great point, Shard-sh-t. NYT is only rated as the best newspaper in the U.S. (by journalism professors at Columbia's #1 ranked journalism program.)
You'd better stick with Fox Propaganda and the Patriot Daily Ass Wiper.

"You have the flu." It gets reported. How many people have gone to the doctor or ER and the response was, "You have Covid-19." In the United States, very few. How many had very mild Covid-19 and were diagnosed as the flu? Who knows? Until testing is done on a mass scale we will never know how many mild cases we have had.

It's easier to believe the lying loony lieberal left than it is to do your own math.
The current U.S. death rate of 19 out of 300,000,000 people equals a .000006% chance of dying from COVID-19.

...so, based on that, no precautions whatsoever are justified. Great plan!

I suggest you go into a pressurized bunker so that the higher pressure inside will prevent that nasty old bug from getting in there with you. Hang in there til after November, then come on out.
Myself, I'm not doing anything but leading my normal life. I don't suffer from paranoia or hysteria.

Walt has Dr. in front of his name so his opinion based on the number of people dead v the number of people tested is 2% mortality rate. Thanks, China. Dr. Walt totally believes you. Nevermind the FACT that there's no way to test all the people who have symptoms. Oh wait.... Dr. Walt says that's a Trump (wasted) "hunch"..... and his stickin' to it by golly! Dr. Walt is also a mathematical genius as he has discovered a new equation: 2+2=2%. BRILLIANT!!!
