Now do Italy. And Spain.

Get in the Tumbril, traitor.

[crusty old prospector]

Name one vulgar thing that I said. One. I realize you clutchers are very sensitive when someone points out your irrational fears. You often go off on rants as I have witnessed many times. This will blow over in a few weeks and I will stop poking the bear.

"Preliminary results from government lab experiments show that the coronavirus does not survive long in high temperatures and high humidity, and is quickly destroyed by sunlight, providing evidence from controlled tests of what scientists believed — but had not yet proved — to be true."

Sunlight destroys virus quickly, new govt. tests find, but experts say pandemic could last through summer

I think the South was spared due to the virus arrival time in the Spring. The infection rate should drop off in the South East very quickly. But the virus could come back this Fall/Winter. Only time will tell.

It’s Impimp as in imp imp and not I’m pimp. Technically it is a respected acronym IMP IMP.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

So you’re saying some dumb Frankenvirus can actually somehow chemically change any human ACE2 receptor to allow the Frankenvirus to do its thing? Am I getting you right?

[sockmonkey]

*** Get in the Tumbril, traitor.***

😂😂😂

[justa-hairyape]

I will if I get it. Why on earth put yourself in a room with a dozen other Corona patients exhaling high densities of virus?

[miserare]

New Madrid Fault...that’s all we need, for that to break loose!

Lord have mercy!

“And we all know there are a lot of people who died in their homes from CV.”

Well, depending on your definition of “a lot”, there were. At this point, when the death rate from some “normal” causes (heart attacks, for example, a known symptom of CV) is 4x or 5x normal and many of those dead are not even tested, it is clear that there is, at best, incompetence in the counting and, at worst, political competence.

We know that there were may times the normal deaths in Italy for a number of areas but only a fraction were attributed to CV. I doubt it is much different in NYC. There are reports from NYC of much higher incidences of heart attack and a higher percentage of those not making it.

[calenel]

“Further confirms that CV is MORE CONTAGIOUS and LESS LETHAL than we thought.”

Actually, no, that’s pretty much on target based on the number of confirmed cases and the expected number of presymptomatic and asymptomatic cases we have. Given that the test subjects were volunteers - self-selected - the study is likely to be heavy on the infected, current and prior, anyway.

BTW, if this is “further” confirmation, what was the prior confirmation?

You can’t just wish away the results from well defined and well tested populations.

[Pelham]

“But that got pulled immediately after intense political pressure — for *obvious* reasons Panda-trying-to-get-away-with-bioweapon everyone-else-tiptoeing-away-from-nuclear-war. Nice try, troll-boi vermin.”

So according to you, no site including American ones are willing to publish the Ebola insertion data that the Indians published. That has to be one of the more mindless excuses for why you can’t find anything to back up your tinfoil hat blather.

[grey_whiskers]

They're not going to go out of their way to emphasize it, as standard US doctrine going back decades, has been to respond to biowarfare with nukes.

[grey_whiskers]

No, you’re not getting it right.

[grey_whiskers]

[Pelham]

“as standard US doctrine going back decades, has been to respond to biowarfare with nukes”

What tinfoiler book did that gem come from? You must have the complete collection.

[grey_whiskers]

Your Mom’s ass.

[Paul R.]

Well, just to be clear, I was NOT seriously suggesting the animals scurrying about was a prediction of the NMF going on a major tear (literally). I’m still scratching my head about the numbers of animals “out” that night, tho’.

[Lions Gate]

“BTW, if this is “further” confirmation, what was the prior confirmation?”

We have antibody studies from Stanford CA, Gangelt (Univ of Bonn - Germany), Diamond Princess, pregnant women at two NY hospitals, and now this Chelsea MA study.

USA current confirmed CV cases = 767K.
USA current number of CV deaths = 40K
USA fatalities as a percentage of confirmed cases = 5.2%

BUT HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE/HAVE BEEN INFECTED WITH CV? IT IS IN THE MILLIONS. AND WHAT ARE THE CV FATALITIES AS A PERCENTAGE OF THOSE INFECTED? THIS QUESTION SHOULD HAVE BEEN DETERMINED BEFORE SHUTTING THE US ECONOMY DOWN. JUST LOOK AT WHAT SWEDEN HAS DONE.

THE PRELIMINARY CV ANTIBODY TESTS ARE COMING IN WITH A CV FATALITY RATE BETWEEN 0.1 AND 0.4% AS A PERCENTAGE OF THOSE INFECTED.

Keep in mind that 90% of those dying with CV are over the age of 75 with preexisting health conditions. Many people who died of CV might have died with a bad case of the flu.

USA Influenza Estimates (9/29/2019-3/21/2020)
People infected = 39M
Hospitalizations = 400K
Number of deaths = 24K
Fatalities as a percentage of those infected = 0.06%.

Many more CV antibody tests are forthcoming. If these numbers hold then the CV is only slightly more deadly than the flu. WE CAN STOP THIS MEDIA INDUCED PANIC AND NONSENSE AND GET AMERICA BACK TO WORK!!!
