Is Covid-19 becoming LESS potent? Italian doctors say the coronavirus is weaker than it was during the height of the pandemic

Doctors in Italy claim the coronavirus has weakened and become a shadow of the disease that rapidly spread around the world.

Italian medics say the infection - which has killed 370,000 worldwide - is much less lethal than it was and 'no longer clinically exists'.

Patients are showing much smaller amounts of the virus in their system, compared to samples taken during the peak of the crisis in March and April, they said.

Infections and deaths caused by Covid-19 have been falling in Italy for weeks. It was, at one point, the centre of Europe's escalating outbreak

Well, I now know why the media dropped coronavirus as the main headline, and made the criminal looters "heroes".

Yup.

Becoming weaker or the truth emerging?

[bigbob]

We’ll find out in a week or two, should be sick and dying rioters all over the place. Or doctors saying “guess we got it wrong”.

It could be regional. It’s not likely that the virus globally decided all at once to mutate into something weaker. Still, it may show where we are headed with COVID-19.

same thing that happened to SARS will happen to this chinese virus.

as it replicates, the virus mutates into a less, stable form and eventually will disappear

the SARS vaccine was never completed bc the virus had run its course and there was no test subjects (or demand)

[ThisLittleLightofMine]

Christians worldwide fasted and prayed specifically for God to extinguish Covid-19 quickly. I see it as an answer to prayer.

Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner!

Like any chinese tool from Harbor Freight, it quickly lost its edge...

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

The false positive rate was 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's or one old fart’s life, it's worth it.

God is the best scientist!

Of all my county’s cases, nearly 50% were infected since the state opened back up 30 days ago. We also had our first death a few days ago.

That my friend, was truly hilarious! :)

OMG! We are all going to die! You can live as chicken little, I'm just going to live my life not in fear of a chinese virus.

[PAR35]

Is it weaker, or are American doctors and hosptials just better than those in Italy?

[Honorary Serb]

Hope, and PRAY without ceasing—but with repentance!!!!

[Honorary Serb]

If the riots spread the virus, it is not only the rioters who will get sick and possibly die!!!!

But if the virus is truly getting weaker and weaker, we know Whom to thank (NOT the rioters)!!!!

[DallasBiff]

I'm not a doctor, and I don't play one FR. All I know is the chinese virus entered this country back in January and I worked at one of the busiest international airports in America, DFW.

It's now June, and now fine and furloughed, I miss my old job.

Covid. The nadademic. Never was, won’t ever be. Just a nasty cold. The only cold I ever heard of that when combined with two or more gun shot wounds will prove fatal.

[faithhopecharity]

there was a medical research study about a couple months ago reporting that The Virus has about a 71 day epidemiological life cycle, that it weakens and goes away in any community in about that many days

this report that The Virus is weakened and no longer a ‘clinical event’ of serious consequence works out just about right on that predicted schedule

this cycle is very similar to that of the regular seasonal flus this Virus is related to

[ChildOfThe60s]

Or doctors saying “guess we got it wrong

Yeah, that isn't going to happen. This is a political disease and the "lock everything down" doctors are not going to admit that is the case by backing down the slightest bit.
