Summary: 

“I’ve been through MERS, SARS, Ebola, the first Gulf war and the second, and I don’t recall anything like this. There’s unnecessary, exaggerated panic. We have to calm people down…. [E]everybody is whipping everybody else up into panic — the leaders, via the media, and the wider public — who then in turn start to stress out the leaders. We’ve entered some kind of vicious cycle.”  - Dr. Jihad Bishara, Israeli virologist 

  • Where is the actual hard evidence that COVID 19 is anything more than a flu-like illness which causes minor symptoms in 96% of those infected with a death rate  no higher than that of the common flu in cases requiring critical care in a hospital, generally involving elderly people with comorbidities?
  • Meanwhile, as the media-DNC complex ramps up mass hysteria for blatantly political ends,  22,000-50,000 people will die from the common flu in this country alone during the 2019-2020 flu season, with 36,000,000-51,000,000 infections and 370,000-670,000 hospitalizations.
  • So, let’s take a look at Italy—the epidemiological and demographic facts rather than the reckless fear-mongering in which, sad to say, not only Fox but even certain Catholic commentators are engaging. As of today, 2,503 Italians have died from COVID-19. The average age of the victims is “81, with the majority suffering from underlying health problems.” 
  • I repeat: the average age of the victims is 81, meaning that many of them must have been in their 90s, and most had comorbidities.  Bloomberg reports that “More than 99% of Italy’s coronavirus fatalities were people who suffered from previous medical conditions, according to a study by the country’s national health authority.” Thus, in Italy there is no epidemiological evidence whatsoever of a significant risk of death among the healthy population of non-elderly people.  All the available evidence shows a death rate and a mortality cohort no different from that of influenza.    
  • Even common sense tells you that Ohio simply cannot have 100,000 cases at the present moment.  Why?  Because to date Ohio has only confirmed 37 actual cases of the Chinese coronavirus, and is testing 361 more.
