No they are doing what Italy did and amping all deaths into the "died from Chinese Virus" category whether it was a heart attack or COPD or whatever that killed them.
Let's say you have the virus..you're asymptomatic and yet you get hit by a bus crossing the street. Should your death be lumped into the "death by coronavirus" stats for that day/month/year?
That is what's happening in NY right now.
No it's not. You seriously need to quit buying into the media/Progressive panic hype being spread these days.
How are you and a few others going to feel about your hand wringing "sky is falling" mindset when this tops out at less deaths in the U.S. than H1N1 or the amount of deaths we experience in just a normal flu season?
Will you come back and admit you bought into the hype?
I don't think the sky is falling, and I haven't even listened to the media hype.
I know that's an easy accusation to make when you feel the need to accuse rather than discuss, but it's not the truth. But I do understand why you feel the need to make it.
I have only discussed here, the reality...... the medical reality....... of what is happening. I am listening to enough people I know in the field of medicine (and I know a lot, personally), who happen to be political conservatives and trustworthy people to know that we are dealing with a different animal here, and that social distancing is required to slow down the spread and allow the hospitals to prepare for what's to come.
FYI, one of my sources is a politically conservative, US Navy doctor (just came back from 3 years stationed in Okinawa). He is a personal friend, who is an Orthopedic Surgeon, now manning a medical triage tent to determine if patients may have COVID-19
His words?? This is serious. PLEASE STAY HOME.
He's not an alarmist. He's not leftist media. He's not a Trump hater. He's not an emotional type.
But he IS medically educated beyond what he reads on the Internet...... which I'm guessing isn't the case with you.
So I will continue to believe, without any form of panic, the experts in the medical field, and not be swayed by people who don't really know what they're talking about.
Sorry about rejecting your insults,
@txradioguy . But of all the many people I know personally without any leftist agenda, I will trust the experts and not you.
btw, if this turns out to be not as bad as the worst cases scenarios (which, of course, it will), it will be because so many Americans actually took the advice of the experts, stayed home and slowed the spread, saving them from a very nasty death.
