I’ve watched more than a few videos of them and tracked a few dozen besides, FReepers excepted.

The main theme at first, I don’t have to worry, it won’t happen here, America just can’t handle this and should be more like China (several versions of this line). Then, second, why isn’t the US airlifting us, how dare they: make us wait, charge us for rescue, make us quarantine, make us find our own transportation home from the intake airport, don’t they know how important we are?
The younger ones being the most obnoxious. And the most apt to not have heeded warnings a month ago to get stateside before travel started shutting down. One idiot came here the day before we shut flights to his country of choice. Pulled a quarantine, then, strongly expressing glory for his country of choice and promoting America as incompetent racists and dangerous, turned around and flew back to his country of choice for yet another quarantine. To get out to another lockdown at their apt. In a city running out of food and with hatred encouraged in the locals on the street for anything American. Those caliber expats. Some of them with their own youtube channels devoted to ridiculing all things American.

That sounds almost like Gubernatorial negligence or incompetence. I have been hearing that for almost 2 months. Where are his advisors? Where is he when he should be in direct contact with his health care experts? If not 2 months ago, at the very least a month ago

I trust our ex-pat Freepers over all other sources. Wish we heard more from them on their local situations.

Coronavirus: Millionaire who tried to charge Philadelphia almost $1m to use empty hospital has property vandalized

...Joel Freedman, a California businessman who owns the currently closed Hahnemann Hospital in Philadelphia, told city officials they could rent the building from him for $1 million a month to house coronavirus patients.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that “Joel Kills” and “Free Hahnemann” were spray painted onto a building owned by Mr Freedman in Philadelphia.

….Mr Singer argued that charging the hospital the “hugely, deeply discounted rate” of $910,000 a month was Mr Freedman’s way of working “collectively for the best of the community.”

said, "It simply isn’t worth the time to correct the terminology"

You're admitting that confirmed cases over death isn't the same as infected over death. Yet state confirmed cases over death as though it's the "death rate"

Then you says "they (often times deliberately) conflate the definitions"

You're really into Saul Alinsky? Or do you have trouble in math regarding conversions? Such as acceleration kilometer/square second does not equal to metre/square second.

Airline passengers taking advantage of cheap flights to earn air miles in middle of coronavirus pandemic

Passengers have been doing ‘turnaround’ flights to earn air miles while prices are low

...“Many people have observed the essential travel rule, but there are careless people out there buying the cheap tickets. One person just wanted their kid to have their first flight,” they said.

“The airlines are offering $49 tickets in some places. Some people are just going on vacation.”

What is wrong with you?
Why can’t you be honest and understanding?

Georgia senator who contracted coronavirus leaves Florida beach house after local outcry

...Local residents, who are on orders to stay at home to help slow the virus’s spread, raised the alarm with the authorities when they saw out-of-town visitors arriving in a convoy of three cars.

...In an exchange with the Tallahassee Democrat, Mr Smith put it more sharply: “His driver’s licence is in Georgia. His voter’s registration is in Georgia, so just practice what you preach and don’t come here. It’s ridiculous. It’s so selfish of this person to do this.”

Shortly after Mr Smith assigned the police watch on the gated residence, Mr Thompson departed. As the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office told the paper: “As a result of surveillance on Senator Bruce Thompson’s residence on St. George Island, Senator Thompson called Sheriff A.J. Smith to advise he would return to Georgia.”

said, "But here goes - 2% CFR for CCP-19 best results"

This is required to know how many people have been infected which isn't available yet. Though there are estimates that are out which would make the death rate between 0.2% to 1.3% death rate of those infected in Italy (which is the worst case.)

So my question is HOW did you get the total number of infected people?

It is involved. Simply, these are the entry points to enhance reactive species (ROS) scavengers. These include glutathione peroxidase, cysteamine and hypotaurine. Taurine is more specific to skeletal muscle and hepatic processes.

We came up with a treatment for a rare degenerative disorder and stumbled upon a cycle that encompasses other neurodegenerative disease as well as sarcopenia and frailty. Controlling insulin resistance too is critical for improved outcomes. We see that now with the coronavirus.

If pantethine is the same thing as Pantothenic Acid, then that is a B vitamin very important for strengthening the adrenal glands. I have been taking 200 to 500 mg. of PA for many years. The purpose for taking this supplements to to strengthen the immune system to either not get sick or only mildly ill or not get so sick you die. My personal recommendation for this period if not yet sick is:

One gram of Vitamin C in the morning and in the evening
One quality multivitamin/multimineral in the morning, and in the evening if under stress
2000 to 5000 IU of Vitamin D
Several calcium/magnesium/zinc tablets a day
Other supplements that you have found helpful

If ill or trying to help someone ill, Google the writings of Dr. Cathcart regarding use of high and intravenous Vitamin C dosage to save lives.

said, "for anyone that uses their (China's CDC) numbers, or any official reports, good luck

ALL the statistics on this virus are going through Chinese Center for Disease Control. Including John Hopkins university which most of ours is from and WHO(CDC gets there info from WHO)

Thanks. You were quicker to the draw than I was. High IV doses were used with ARDs in the past with success yet nothing became of it.

“I don’t take the Huffington Post and Ariana Huffington seriously.”

Neither do I.

But the direct quotes tell the story.

Which essentially renders any statistical analysis useless if you use their data. Note the CDC numbers lag behind other sources by drastic margins.

It has been quite obvious from the start how the WHO has a bad case of panda breath.
