This virus caused the first deaths in the country here in the eastern part of King County in Washington where my wife and I live. We are very familiar with the Life Care Center in Kirkland which for weeks was for weeks the source of most of the fatalities in the country. We have both been paid and volunteered to do work there. So we know how devistating this can be from first hand knowledge.
That said, there are probable reasons why the death rate per million people in New York are over 10 times greater than we have had in Washington state. This was despite us having cases weeks before it first was found in New York. The reason is likely viral load on innitial contact. When people are living in a densely populated area sharing elevators, buses, subways, and other small enclosed spaces with sick people, it us much more likely that their first contact will give them a larger dose of virus.
In Washington State people use mass transit far less frequently, they tend to live in houses and not high rise apartments and they are just less friendly and sociable to begin with. A couple years ago I was waiting near a freezer door that had my wife’s favorite “Healthy Choice” frozen entrees. A young couple was spending a lot of time trying to decide which to get. So I spoke up in a friendly way. They were absolutely horrified that someone they didn’t know would dare talk to them.
People in Washington tend to be socially distant by nature. So their first contact with this virus is more likely to be a minimal dose that gives their bodies a chance to develop resistance before they even develop symptoms.
“Who even watches that guy???”
I have a libby friend who watches this scurvy Brit and thinks he is a genius. (Make that former friend)
All the “Woke” college kids think this dude is spot-on.
Misinformation?? Funny I saw No References, No Citations, just mindless accusations. Either way I have never heard of this clown.
Tonight’s guest, esteemed virologist, epidemiologist, and MD, John Oliver.
Smug sob is the prototype for the design of all my left-wing friends.
Oliver is himself a perfect example of fake news.
To begin, I am in the very much endangered age group: 92 years old, taking high blood pressure medicine and with AFib.
So for those in my age group, it is truly a very serious matter if we get infected.
However, for the general population it is no more a risk than ordinary flu and Oliver is typical liberal hysterical crapping cry baby.
In my state it was announced this morning that 6,764 people have been diagnosed with wu-flu.
A scary number in the headlines with no further explanation other than the number who have died and the number hospitalized.
The population of this state is estimated to be 10,000,000.
So the percentage of citizens infected is .0007.
192 have died...so that is .0000192 of the population killed by wu-flu.
Yes, it is very serious if one is over 75 and has a serious underlying physical problem....but as for the rest of the population.....I rest my case.
Who? Sorry, never heard of him

Yes, when things are confusing, difficult to understand, tough to comprehend, and true knowledge is needed...
Turn to a comedian...
Rush outdoes these idiots in thought, logic, and dead each and every day.
Which, of course, is why they hate him. Inferiors really really hate it when a competitor proves that they really ARE inferior.
Modern media - when one believes that they have a duty to demonstrate why they cannot do anything useful.
