I've read other sources saying that the highest mortality has been among elderly Asian men who were heavy smokers. Now maybe all these sources are independently misleading us, or it's a coordinated conspiracy, but I find that unlikely.Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostOriginally posted by Mountain Man View PostSnopes?
They're selling the same distorted narrative as the Democrats. If you had bothered to actually read the Breitbart story, you world have noted that it was about the Associated Press independently verifying something that Breitbart had reported earlier.
It's true that Bolton eliminated the Ebola response team because they were no longer needed, but the CDC is bigger than that, and they have the money, personnel, and procedures in place to handle the current situation.
But seriously, man, Snopes? You need better sources.Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostNew England Journal of medicine says that the coronavirus may be no worse than a bad seasonal flu.
"[T]he overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza (which has a case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%) or a pandemic influenza (similar to those in 1957 and 1968) rather than a disease similar to SARS or MERS, which have had case fatality rates of 9 to 10% and 36%, respectively."https://www.breitbart.com/health/202...orse-than-flu/Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

I don't care a whit about your irrelevant dispute about politics. In point of fact, the CDC neither has the ability nor the desire to contain this virus. And the "2% case fatality rate" is based on China's official numbers--which are crap--and only considering those aged 60 and above, it is closer to 10%. If .10% of that age group needed hospitalization, our hospitals will be overrun, increasing the fatality rate exponentially more. And most sources admit 20% of those infected require hospitalization. When millions of Americans are dying, will you still be calling it "just a bad flu"?

But given your current level of apparent hysteria, could you be troubled to cite your sources instead of simply dismissing mine?Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
