At this point per Dr. Birx stated 96% percent of the tested persons with flu like symptoms test negative for Covid 19.

98% of the people diagnosed with Covid 19 survive.

So even if we all infected we do stand a damn good chance of surviving.

I hope you're not fear mongering.

Where exactly are these numbers derived from?

Mouths of Dr. Birx. and SG

I'm thinking worldwide.

I would luv to see the data myself..especially the number of those testing negative with flu like symptoms.


NYS and NYC are skewing numbers..60% of those infected in America are from NY.

I know Cuomo is doing his best..but Cuomo for president is a bit premature and sophomoric

Possible...but for those who have been tested positive: 423,368 worldwide, only 95.5% survive.

I know (+ -)numbers are off but that's based on current stats online.

Our own St Kitts & Navis still defiant.

There's Now Only One Country in the Americas That Does Not Have Coronavirus

There is now just one country across the Americas that has no confirmed cases of the new coronavirus. Saint Kitts and Nevis is the only country in both North and South America that has not reported COVID-19.

Until March 24, two other countries in the Americas—Belize and Dominica—had no cases of the virus, according to the World Health Organization's (WHO) daily situation report.

We see the Repugnants playbook, Texas Govonor on national television proclaiming that he would sacrifice the elderly for the right to his American dream and he sure all the elderly would be willing to sacrifice their life for the right of the economy to survive. And they are the so called party of the evangelicals. That man had no idea of the evil and the lack of any ethics or morality he spouted on national television. Sadly he is not the only one but perhaps the view of the rich and the powerful and definitely the Dotard. Sad time we live in.

95% of New York City’s almost 200 deaths from the new coronavirus had underlying health conditions. Almost half were under the age of 75.

 
DAVE400 2020-03-25 16:37:41 

the mortality rate is hight because people who die do it quicker than what is defined as full recovery..

so the death stat is outstripping the recovered stat...

in the long run the recovery stat will still he encouraging but there will he a significant death toll..

my worry is the double whammy of economic stagnation.

Lol. I'm not talking about physical strength, I'm talking about compromised immunal systems, even though the two can go hand in hand.

Let me put it this way, it's like people with healthy immunal systems having guards at the gates (internally) and people with weak immunal systems, not having guards at the gates. For people with compromised communal systems, the virus just walk right in.

I hope that was not too complicated.

Jan.14, 2020

The World Health Organization (WHO) is now haunted by a tweet it sent earlier this year when it cited Chinese health officials who claimed there had been no human transmissions of the novel coronavirus within the country yet.


Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) identified in #Wuhan, #China,” the organization had said.

DukeStreet 2020-03-28 18:49:14 

In reply to mikesiva

Really? Where can we get those numbers?

The reason I ask is there are others saying the infected/death numbers are inflated because the US only currently test non-asymptomatic people and there are many asymptomatic folks running around not being tested but spreading the virus, hence a lower percentage of those truly infected is real.

I would also like to know the correlation of asymptomatic COVID19 victims vs Influenza or SARS, etc.

I always thought it was symptomatic and asymptomatic.

Symptomatic = showing symptoms.

Asymptomatic = not showing symptoms.

This is precisely what you are seeing....notice who is posting these fears?

Anguish of Nations....they can't begin to figure out what to do.

Powers of the heavens....the Bible uses heaven to signify worldly governments and powers that people look to for escape...like money.

has it escaped anyone that the most affluent Country is quickly becoming the most severely affected?

Powers shaken.
