Coronavirus leathality
I think Bill posted here that he had heard someone say that the coronavirus is 10 times more lethal than the flu. Bill said he had heard that but couldn't remember who said it. It was said today by Dr. Anthony Fauci, the head honcho of the federal team monitoring the virus during a hearing before the House Oversight and Reform Comittee. Dr. Fauci said, “I mean people always say, 'Well, the flu does this, the flu does that,'” “The flu has a mortality rate of 0.1 percent. This has a mortality rate of 10 times that. That’s the reason I want to emphasize we have to stay ahead of the game in preventing this,” he added. Certainly sounds ominous. -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com |

It was said today by Dr. Anthony Fauci, the head honcho of the federal team monitoring the virus during a hearing before the House Oversight and Reform Comittee.* Dr. Fauci said, “I mean people always say, 'Well, the flu does this, the flu does that,'” “The flu has a mortality rate of 0.1 percent. This has a mortality rate of 10 times that. That’s the reason I want to emphasize we have to stay ahead of the game in preventing this,” he added. Certainly sounds ominous. To wit: A Republican lawmaker’s attempt to downplay the threat posed by coronavirus blew up in his face when a top government expert on infectious diseases told him that the threat is very real. During a House Oversight Committee hearing on the virus, Rep. Michael Cloud (R-TX) tried to get Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, to say that the media was overhyping the dangers posed by the coronavirus. “I’d like to spend some time trying to clear the record… as we try to find the proper balance between creating a positive, proactive response to real threats, as opposed to instigating overreaction,” he said, and then asked him to compare how the coronavirus compared to other past infectious disease outbreaks such as SARS and H1N1. Fauci responded by saying that people should take the virus very seriously and that it should not be confused with the seasonal flu. “The seasonal flu has a mortality of 0.1 percent,” he said. “The stated mortality, overall, of this… is about three percent.” He then added some caveats about the mortality rate data but said the bottom line was coronavirus was at least “ten times more lethal than the seasonal flu.” “But less lethal than N1H1 (sic)?” Cloud asked. “The 2009 pandemic of H1N1 was even less lethal than the regular seasonal flu,” Fauci said. https://www.rawstory.com/?p=1600033#...UmRl4.facebook |

You don't have to be a Dr. or Rocket Scientist to figure it out. But, what can really be done about it? Testing only confirms if you are infected or not. The idea of isolating people via quarantine isn't working. All it takes is one person who doesn't even know they carry the virus to infect many, many more people. I suspect we are going to have to do the best we can to avoid getting it but the reality is ... it's going to have to "run it's course". Most healthy people won't get sick but some older folks may be affected or even die from it. As of this writing: The USA currently has 1,283 (up from 1,100 earlier today) people known to have it. 37 have died and 15 have fully recovered. Half of the deaths occurred in one nursing home. -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com |

Short SW Florida housing if you have any money in it. 29% of Lee County is over 65 and most own their home. I think there are going to be a lot of old houses on the market if this is as bad as they say it is. Or not ;-) |
