A Coronavirus Chart The Mainstream Media Doesn't Want You To See

“By any standard, no matter how you look at it, the U.S. is losing its war against the coronavirus,” claims Axios in a story published on Saturday.

It’s a bold claim, and according to Axios health care editor Sam Baker, the recent rise in cases is proof positive that America is losing the battle. “Seven times over the last two weeks, the U.S. has set a new record for the most cases in a single day,” he notes. “Cases are increasing in 33 states, and several of those states are seeing such staggering increases that they may soon overwhelm their hospitals.”

To illustrate his point, he included a graph with the article that points out that if all COVID-19 patients (confirmed cases) lived in one city, it would be the third-largest city in the United States.

Wow, are you impressed? Well, you shouldn’t be. If Axios is basing its assessment on the war with the coronavirus on confirmed cases, then I wonder how Axios would respond to this chart:

According to the CDC, nearly 61 million Americans were infected during the H1N1 pandemic. That’s more than twice as big as the largest city in the world, Shanghai. So, currently, COVID-19 patients may amount to the third-largest city in the United States, but H1N1 patients amount to the largest city in the world more than twice over.

But, you know, we’re losing the war against the coronavirus.

Ron Klain, who was Biden’s chief of staff at the time of the H1N1 pandemic and is currently advising his campaign, says it was mere luck that H1N1 wasn’t more deadly. “It is purely a fortuity that this isn’t one of the great mass casualty events in American history,” Klain said of H1N1 in 2019. “It had nothing to do with us doing anything right. It just had to do with luck.

If anyone thinks that this can’t happen again, they don’t have to go back to 1918, they just have to go back to 2009, 2010, and imagine a virus with a different lethality, and you can just do the math on that.”

Does Axios consider the United States to have lost the war on H1N1?

Axios. Cower and hide.

IOW. Pussies.

A CNN lead story yesterday used the most convoluted bunch of stats to scare.

“The number of coronavirus cases has now exceeded the population of Washington, West Virgina, and Rholde Island. C O M B I N E D ! “

I think these were the 3 or 4 states. Equally irrelevant, whichever.

[Vendome]

Guy keeps referring to cases, when, in fact, they are in fections.

A case is something active being medically managed and a patient would have a case

[Vendome]

The number of cases hasn’t exceeded anything since he is using the wrong word

The number of infections has.

The number of cases has not

[antidemoncrat]

This is all about the deep state coup trying to sweep the Democrats into power by showing Pres. Trump is weak and cannot control this Republic.

RE: “The number of coronavirus cases has now exceeded the population of Washington, West Virgina, and Rholde Island. C O M B I N E D ! “

Well, 80% of Covid-19 cases are ASYMPTOMATIC.

See here:

https://time.com/5842669/coronavirus-asymptomatic-transmission/

And here:

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/stanford-doctor-coronavirus-infection-fatality-rate-for-people-under-45-almost-0

Stanford doctor: Coronavirus fatality rate for people under 45 ‘almost 0%’

Stanford Doctor, John Ioannidis estimates the following:

A very crude estimate might suggest that about 150-300 million or more people have already been infected around the world, far more than the 10 million documented cases.”

The death rate in a given country depends a lot on the age structure, who are the people infected, and how they are managed, For people younger than 45, the infection fatality rate is almost 0%.

For 45 to 70, it is probably about 0.05%-0.3%.

For those above 70, it escalates substantially.”

Given the above observation, the strategy is obvious... it makes little sense to lockdown the young and healthy.

Those who need protection are:

1. The sickly and those with serious pre-existing conditions like heart conditions, cancer, diabetes, etc.

2. The fragile elderly, especially those in nursing homes.

So, CNN’s focus on the number of cases is looking at the disease from a panic perspective, not grounded in what the scientific data tells us.

I had H1N1. Hit like a brick and within hours went from perfectly fine to trouble breathing. I was a young healthy mom. By day 3 I had pneumonia in one lung and day 4 in both, high fever, went to the doc on day 4 and my lungs looked like I had lung cancer everywhere. IV antibiotics saved my life.

Thereafter I learned about the preventive effect of therapeutic vitamin d3 and Ive never been that sick since. I worked out and went paleo then low carb. I never want to get a bad case of anything ever again.

This is precisely the type of information that we must feed local influencers.

And it never hurts to let the MSM know that we know. And we know they’re hiding the info.

A COVID-19 chart I’d like to see is the daily trend in recoveries.

On Wordometers, the total recoveries in the US just increased from about 1,490,000 yesterday to 1,505,000 today. That’s 15,000 a day, which dwarfs the daily deaths totals.

[Truthoverpower]

We got a hold of this thing on April 16 - that’s when Fauci and Berks stop the headline in the news conferences and talk about opening started

Only because now testing is so widespread that the number of “cases” is increasing

The only true measure is hospitalizations and deaths

5000 to 10,000 people die every day of some thing
