Thanks, Steven W.

The bottom line of the CDC study is: In the most probable scenario, 0.4% of symptomatic Chinavirus patients will die. (In other words, a 1 in 250 chance overall, if you contract the illness and have symptoms, but VERY skewed to those over 65)

That is about 4 times the rate of the flu, but totally undermines the justification of the Panic.

Incidentally, the CDC analysis does take into account asymptomatic "Carriers" of the Chinavirus bug, but does not project overall incidence of either symptomatic or asymptomatic infectees in the overall population--leaving this level of analysis to model builders.

And from just a few days ago, calls all the flu numbers into question, big time. Who knows what the real Covid numbers are, anyway. I sent the link of article on to a few people. Some will pay attention since it’s a DHHS site.

How do you convince people a vaccine is necessary [critical]?

“US data on influenza deaths are false and misleading. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) acknowledges a difference between flu death and flu associated death yet uses the terms interchangeably. Additionally, there are significant statistical incompatibilities between official estimates and national vital statistics data. Compounding these problems is a marketing of fear—a CDC communications strategy in which medical experts “predict dire outcomes” during flu seasons.”
