So are we dismissing the Surgeon General's statement that the coronavirus stats are that the median age of mortality is over 80?

That sucks for those of us with relatives that age, but much better news for the majority.

That’s what happens when 72% of the deaths come from one nursing home.

But don’t let the numbers fool you. People like wewewaawe on the front lines have to be exposed and then expose their families. Poor guy.

What positives in Germany?


And you do realize Singapore and SK both did things above and beyond what’s being done here and what was done in Italy.

(And Singapore’s a bad example as they never even allowed it to catch on.)

You are acting like all these countries are rolls of the dice and outcomes, good or bad, are by random chance.



And here comes the number one die hard right on schedule.

Germany has over 1000 cases and ZERO deaths...

In what way are you comparing the US efforts to Italy please be specific?

Also what specific measures did Singapore and SK take? It’s seems ridiculous you dismiss them so easily when both countries are literally right fricking near the outbreak (compared to US and Italy)

But please keep posting negative updates only.

Never happen. Just like Disney though if you see Disney shut down the world or land, freak out.

I do believe it’s worse than we think but the government is working with the CDC to keep the testing numbers low (being very selective on who is getting tested, etc). I think they are afraid if it gets out how bad it really is the market will crash and we will have mass chaos due to panic and hysteria. Much worse than the current craziness we’re seeing.

I think it is to prevent healthcare worker shortage.

Yeah you can go frick yourself with this comment, because you obviously haven’t been following my posts.

How I know? Literally everything you are asking about was listed in my posts in the past few weeks. Given that you apparently audited them enough to know that I only post negative stuff you should already know the answer.

SK is being EXTREMELY aggressive with testing. More than any country. And with that comes isolation and mitigation. They have been probably the most successful and finding cases and as a result, have hit the sharpest curve in reduction of numbers.

It’s something that a lot of scientists want to emulate here, but that probably won’t happen for a variety of reasons. Just vast differences culturally.

Lol the complete opposite. Total tests should be out, cases up from current, number of recoveries definitely going up. Everything is skewed because not enough tests are out but wants that happens you can expect current cases to soar but also current recoveries.

Many people have most likely had this for months but weren’t properly tested. Now they can get a definitive answer.
