There's no way to confirm that this is even happening.
LOL, sure there is!! Go thru the family members, I dont think they are withholding the names to anyone.

Look at raw numbers. Compare to population numbers. The percentage infected is very small.
What is "small"? Basics are that experts say about 10X the counted number are likely infected.

That's 1 million.

It will be 2 million or so in two weeks and I am being conservative.

Is that small? That would make our rate of infection 100X as big as China when adjusted for population.

Seems you would prefer to focus on spurious Internet news sources rather than simply turn on the 7:00 PM News - any channel.



A perfect example of looking for sources that support a strongly held position.

It's literally just a new strain of the common cold.

Italy's death rate figures are bogus. They're lumping old people dying of natural causes into the covid-19 heap. The pathologists have not had time to confirm who has died of what, they're just lumping all people dying into the covid 19 category.

Italy has a ton of old people too, kind of like Japan.
Old people dying off is nothing to be concerned about, unless you're an elderly person.

As bad as the numbers in the US are now and will shortly become, I anticipate numbers in Brazil will soon be far higher.

210 million people of whom over 50 million live in poverty
25 million are packed into top 4 cities
Unlike Africa, median age is surprisingly high at 32 years

Likely cases will not be able to be counted and officials will have to use the number of grave sites.

Seriously? A co-worker I sat across from for 4 years has been sick for weeks and died from it this morning. Early 40s, no pre-existing conditions. My husband is sick from it right now.

I already said I will need the two guaranteed checks and potential others, especially with summer camp for my district being up in the air due to things being as up in the air as they are right now. I cannot get a fourth job at the moment (my second job for now is in its off-season until July and my third job I cannot do due to my first until the next break) because my first job is inconsistent on which days I am needed. It is once a week for sure, but I can be called in more and "expected to be at home 'working.'"

Famous and well known people are now dying. It doesn't take much intelligence to understand that if people who are well known have died in the last two days, there are people dying....

Are these posters really saying that the 1,000 deaths are fake? Watch the numbers tic up and quite soon many of us will know people who have it. Then we will know people who die from it. Even in our small towns in W. Mass. there are starting to be a lot of cases...the Mayor has it!

No matter what the number is, some of these sociopaths will claim it is small.

WHO had already stated they had evidence that warm weather had no effect on killing it.

WHO even has a myth buster page:
https://www.who.int/emergencies/dise...c/myth-busters
COVID-19 virus can be transmitted in areas with hot and humid climates

From the evidence so far, the COVID-19 virus can be transmitted in ALL AREAS, including areas with hot and humid weather.
