Joe Biden is going to bring on Bernie Williams as a campaign adviser in an attempt to counter this and confusedly think that's the Bernie all of the millennials love.

I've read that people who 'survived' the original virus have now started seeing their symptoms return. Of course I can't find any of the friggin' articles just 5-6 hours later but the headlines caught my eye.

That was reported pretty widely in China, including some people who got better, were released, then died suddenly. They're unsure if they got reinfected or if that's just one of the possible patterns the disease can follow.

Some good news (at least educated speculation by Dr. Fauci):

https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMe2002387

"If one assumes that the number of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic cases is several times as high as the number of reported cases, the case fatality rate may be considerably less than 1%. This suggests that the overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza (which has a case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%) or a pandemic influenza (similar to those in 1957 and 1968) rather than a disease similar to SARS or MERS, which have had case fatality rates of 9 to 10% and 36%, respectively."


Almost everyone in the medical community seems to be in agreement that significantly more people have/had this than just the confirmed cases. And while a lot of people viewed this as bad because it meant the spread was much larger, I always viewed it as a positive, as it meant the fatality rate was much lower.

“Looking at what we’re seeing now, we’re looking at 100,000 to 200,000” deaths, “but I don’t want to be held to that,” Fauci said on CNN.

if the 1% number is accurate, it would be about 300k-400k. keep in mind that these estimates are based on people doing the right thing, which in america LOL

That would translate to about 30-40 K for us. The Spanish Flu by comparison got 55 K in Canada, so we would not be far off that mark (although the population in 1918 was just over 8 M versus almost 38 M today). Still better than the 600 K the government was throwing around a couple of weeks ago.

If it is "only" 100k deaths, Trump and his cronies will absolutely spin it as a positive and 45 to 50% of registered voters will be dumb enough to buy it.

And some galaxy brained conservatives absolutely believe that NY, Washington State, and other blue state hospitals are hiding supplies to make the numbers to go up to make Trump look bad.

I guess they're still better than the people who think this is all because of 5G.

I also saw somebody share Brody's boss' conspiracy that Trump is gonna shut off all of our technology in two days for a week and a half to arrest the big players in the Deep State.
