Coronavirus Outbreak...

[Mountain Man]

If you keep your head buried in the sand, you're safe.

Or wear a mask.

[Stoic]

Or wear a mask.

You kind of have to pull your head out before you realize the utility of having everyone wear masks.

He asked a legitimate question Frank. "are those fatalities people who died "with"... or died "from"...?

Neither, they died from COVID-19. The highest fatality rate in the world. COVID-19 does not have a passport. The flu shows up next month or two.

COVID-19 is not the flu, even though Trump thought it was.

Two days of more than 1,000 fatalities in the USA.

Sand is abrasive. It is better bury the head in warm damp place.

[shunyadragon]

I have noted it, which is why I repeated the question that you failed to respond to.

So let's try it again...


Are those fatalities people who died "with" the China flu, or died "from" the China flu? That is a very important distinction.

Neither, COVID-19 does not have a passport. Neither did the 1917-1920 flu.

[shunyadragon]

"A guess is as good as a test."

Body count is not a test.

So what you're saying is that you don't know the answer.

[Mountain Man]

Body count is not a test.

You're right, it's not.

[shunyadragon]

You're right, it's not.

It is the body count of the fatalities due to COVID-19. It is not the flu.

[shunyadragon]

So what you're saying is that you don't know the answer.

I gave the answer: It is the fatality count in the USA due to COVID-19. It is not the flu

[Mountain Man]

I gave the answer: It is the fatality count in the USA due to COVID-19.

"Due to" ... what does that even mean? Is that people who died from the China flu (meaning they died as a direct result of contracting the Wuhan virus), or people who died with the China flu (meaning they died from other maladies with which they were afflicted but just happened to contract the Wuhan virus before they were killed by something else)? Because that is a significant difference, and I'm reasonably certain you know this which is why you're desperately dancing a jig around my question.

And of course in shuny's world there's no other country out there that would ever think to under-report the numbers (other than china) because it might make them look bad. We live in a perfect world where no government has any self-interests to make themselves look good and only wants to report factual statistics to the best of their ability.

Quote me properly. I never made such a case. In fact I have posted that China, Russia, and Brazil under reported fatalities. Even with 200% under reporting the USA ihas the highest fatality rates in the world.

Recent increases in France and other countries, and a mutated virus caused a reinfection, demonstrate that the virus is in control, at least until a number of successful vacccines become available.



Also, it must be acknowledged Covid-19 spread very early around the world by only several dozen individuals.

It is COVID-19. At present there is not a significant infection of any thing called 'Chinese flu' so far this year in the world. No scientist reports any form of Chinese flu' in the world today, maybe in a few months.

It is more than apparent your in extreme denial for the world pandemic of COVID-19.
