Welp, that didn't take long. Corona is within my county.

That was on the OP map at some point in the past 3 days or so I think. Noticed it when I was looking at Florida.

Two cases were reported in the metro area a couple days ago but tonight they're reporting that one of those two is a student who attends a private school in my town. The school is closed for now.

Relax, America!

The president sees through another hoax ...

Trump calls WHO's global death rate from coronavirus 'a false number'

‘This is just my hunch’, president says on Fox News and then plucked his own surmising of a death rate out of the air

(Our Prime Minister talks in connected sentences, but believe me the overall result is not much better ...)

Donald Trump declared live on television on Wednesday night that he did not believe the World Health Organization’s assessment of the global death rate from coronavirus of 3.4%.

“I think the 3.4% is really a false number,” he told Sean Hannity, one of his favorite conservative Fox News hosts, in a phone interview broadcast live.

“Now, this is just my hunch,” Trump began, before continuing that “based on a lot of conversations with a lot of people that do this, because a lot of people will have this, and it’s very mild – they’ll get better very rapidly, they don’t even see a doctor, they don’t even call a doctor.”

He went on: “You never hear about those people, so you can’t put them down in the category of the overall population, in terms of this corona flu, and/or virus. So you just can’t do that.”

He then plucked his own surmising of a likely death rate out of the air.

“You know, all of a sudden it seems like 3 or 4%, which is a very high number, as opposed to a fraction of 1%,” he said, perhaps referring to the typical death rate for influenza, which is below one percent.

“But again, they don’t know about the easy cases because the easy cases don’t go to the hospital. They don’t report to doctors or the hospital in many cases. So I think that that number is very high. I think the number, personally, I would say the number is way under 1%,” Trump said.

As the number of coronavirus cases begins to swell in the United States, conservative media outlets have been dedicating hours of airtime to slamming Democrats and mainstream media outlets such as the New York Times and CNN for being critical of Donald Trump and his response to the coronavirus.

For days, Trump’s allies in rightwing media have defended the president and his response to coronavirus, supporting the administration’s narrative that Democrats are using the coronavirus to further their own political agenda by purposefully exaggerating the severity of coronavirus just to blame Trump for it.

Peter Hegseth, a co-host of Fox & Friends Weekends, admonished Democrats’ criticism, saying: “They’re rooting for the coronavirus to spread. They’re rooting for it to grow. They’re rooting for the problem to get worse.”

“They’re probably jumping for joy,” Fox & Friends co-host Ainsley Earhardt said about the Democrats’ reaction to stock markets dropping.

Trump also appeared to reject his own administration’s advice for people feeling unwell to stay at home. He said: “If we have thousands or hundreds of thousands of people that get better, just by, you know, sitting around and even going to work, some of them go to work, but they get better, and then when you do have a death, like you’ve had in the state of Washington, like you had one in California, I believe you had one in New York.”

There have been no deaths from coronavirus in New York.

On Thursday morning, the president hit back via Twitter on his comments relating to going to work.

I NEVER said people that are feeling sick should go to work. This is just more Fake News and disinformation put out by the Democrats, in particular MSDNC. Comcast covers the CoronaVirus situation horribly, only looking to do harm to the incredible & successful effort being made!

Shortly afterwards on Thursday morning, New York city mayor Bill De Blasio announced there were two more confirmed cases of coronavirus, brining the number of sufferers in the state to 13.

They’re rooting for the coronavirus to spread. They’re rooting for it to grow. They’re rooting for the problem to get worse.

That is just such BS. I'm rooting for a good economy, good health, and for this thing to go away. I don't know ONE Democrat that wants this virus to keep spreading. I don't know ONE Democrat that wants to see people get sick and die.

My Lord these people are just... They're insane and stupid. That's the Conservative movement these days. “F”.

I just have to wonder... if the GOP's brand of conservatism is so damned great, why do they have to lie about everything 24/7?

Strange.

Trump's reality is what he wants the virus to be. He is terrified of the hit on the economy, so the idea of people staying home en masse is an anathema to him. So he wants the virus to play nice, and allow people to go to work with the same infection and mortality rate of a typical flu.

So far we have not heard back from COVID-19 on the President's proposal. A spokesvirus said that because COVID-19 contains only RNA, political negotiations with DNA-based life forms traditionally have been difficult.

The media has seriously misrepresented the 3.4% It is not the WHO’s estimate of the mortality rate of COVID-19. It is the percentage of confirmed cases that have died to date. Most countries are currently testing and finding the sickest cases. Take a look at the countries like South Korea that have conducted widespread testing. I checked, and if you use the same equation to calculate the death rate for South Korea, you get .4%. The more you test, the lower rate you get when you calculate deaths/confirmed cases.

The WHO director mentioned that figure as part of his argument that the world should not abandon containment as a strategy. He was contrasting COVID-19 with seasonal flu, for which we don’t use containment as a strategy. He pointed out that the numbers indicate a higher mortality rate than seasonal flu, but less efficient community transmission than seasonal flu. So, he argues, containment can still save lots of lives.

Trump, of course, screwed up the message by labeling the number “fake.” It’s a real number that measures a real thing. It’s just not the actual mortality rate or even a reasonable estimation at this point.
