This is being pedaled right here on FR. And it is all over Facebook and Twitter, too. Thank God Almighty for Mollie.
I like her too.
It’s interesting that the people on FR who are pushing these fake statistics the most (fake on the face of it if you had common sense!) are American expats.
Got My Vote!
I noticed on the worldometer site that, unlike other countries, people in the US don’t seem to recover. ;)
That’s when I stopped believing their stats.
The “press” has thrown off any threadbare cloak of objectivity; they are front and center the propaganda wing of the left in this country.
You might want to rethink that. The doctor in NYC said he had been intubating people all day and none survived. As a retired doctor that is the definition of horror.
Misinformation is nothing new in the media.
Until key media people suffer severe punishments, the outrageous lies and propaganda will continue and get worse.
It’s becoming more clear by the hour that the hysteria is becoming embarrassing.
Note to self: Don't EVER be 'treated' by THIS dude!
It would be laughable, except for the economic damage that has been wrought.
...or it could be just the disease. I would imagine putting the tube in is about all he does, once in other people take over so he can m ove on.
Meh. Too much misinformation out there, onsey, twosey.
My wife and I are 66. I still don’t take this thing seriously. I’m just enjoying working from home. It saves me a three hour commute and a fillup every other day. My wife and I are still more concerned about the REAL flu than this thing. Let me know when it gets as bad as the swine flu did - and I didn’t really know much about that one until AFTER it had passed.
The only affect this has had on my life is all positive.

So I see NY as a separate country. Their stats don’t affect our stats in KY any more than Italy’s affect Belgium’s.
And what are the EU stats, compared to the US stats?
Enjoy you great fortune. If you want a tip in the markets, there’s going to be some cheap housing come available in NYC soon.
‘Hysterics’ is the Liberal default. It’s their political ‘style’ and it always has been. THIS is their shining hour and they THINK they have center stage
But for rational people, Liberals are like the boy who cries ‘wolf!’ way too often.
Yup. That ain’t funny.

There's a Chinese study, translated in Lancet, stating that 97% of intubations for covid-19 ended up with the patient dying anyway. Whereas patients put on ventilators who did not require intubation had a slightly higher survival rate, with only 92% dying. Ventilators help people get oxygen, but don't prevent the multiple organ failure that is the said to be the cause of death for a significant number of deaths. I wonder if compromised immune systems are a factor for organ shutdowns.

What's curious about this article is that only 21% of patients got antivirals (of which 29% died). I wonder why.
