Misleading Coronavirus Data.

As the world continues to panic over coronavirus, shutting down all sporting events, closing schools, shutting down factories, etc... We have to wonder if this is really worth all the fuss?  Is this virus really so much more dangerous than the common flu?  Or is there some other reason that the media is hyping this 24 hours per day to scare everyone?

Right now they are telling us that 90,000 people got the virus and 3100 are dead which is over a 3% death rate which is 20 times higher than the common flu.

But what if we found out that millions of people actually got the virus and were healed without seeking any medical attention and never being counted or tested?  Then the denominator would be WAY off and the death toll wouldn't be 3% it might only be .03% which would be nothing more than what the common flu kills.

The media tells us that 10 people have died in Washington State, but who were they?

Washington also announced another death, bringing its total to 10. Most of those who died were residents of Life Care Center, a nursing home in Kirkland, a suburb east of Seattle. 

So, old, already unhealthy people in a nursing home are those who are dying?  And we are in full-blown, world-wide panic?

Is the Prince of this World actually concocting something else here?  Is there a reason he wants the global economy to falter?

Assuming the number of people who have reportedly died from COVID-19 is reasonably accurate, then the percentage of infected people who die from the disease (the death rate) must surely have been much lower than the 2–3% estimates commonly reported. That is because the number of infected people is much larger than the number tested and reported.

The triangle graph, from a February 10 study from Imperial College London, shows that most people infected by COVID-19 are never counted as being infected. That is because, the Imperial College study explains, “the bottom of the pyramid represents the likely largest population of those infected with either mild, non‐​specific symptoms or who are asymptomatic.”

As the Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom, explained in his February 28 briefing, “Most people will have mild disease and get better without needing any special care.” Several studies have found that about 80% of all the COVID-19 cases have relatively minor symptoms which end without severe illness and therefore remain unreported.

A Chinese study in the Journal of the American Medical Association, February 20, found a “case‐​fatality rate” of 2.3%, meaning 1,023 died out of 44,672 cases. But the total sample in that study (72,314) included an additional 27,642 non‐​confirmed cases, and simply including cases (let alone unreported minor cases) would have reduced the fatality rate to 1.4%. China‐​based estimates are largely confined to cases with the most severe symptoms, so it should be no surprise that the reported death rate among severe cases is much higher than it would be if the data also included “most people” who “have a mild disease and get better.” The risk of infecting more people is also more severe in China data, since severe cases are concentrated and transmitted in hospitals. This can also lead to overstated estimates of how many people are infected by someone with COVID-19, including the WHO “reproduction number” estimate of 1.4–2.5, which is mainly based on evidence from China.

As the graph indicates, other countries include more non‐​severe cases than China does, notably by testing incoming travelers who arrive with a cough and fever. Even after casting a slightly wider net, however, the number of confirmed cases probably captures only about 30% of the actual number.

By the morning of March 2, there had been 89,253 confirmed cases of COVID-19 reported around the world, with about 96% of those in Asia. For comparison, the were an estimated 37.9 million people living with HIV in 2018.

It is worth noting that have also been 45,393 known recoveries from COVID-19 (compared to 3048 cumulative deaths) and, importantly, recoveries have been outnumbering new cases.

Tens of thousands of old people and unhealthy people die from the flu every year.  And we don't shut down sporting events, close schools and shut down factories.  Trump is now questioning the stated 3.2% death toll and he is being ridiculed by the MSM.

Again, what IS going on here?
