in the usa it will probably cost about 3,000 for a test and will be charged to patient if no insurance

Don't worry, we can now start catching up to to rest of the world:

The numbers are easily available for those with the intellectual curiosity to look for them which clearly leaves you out. All you want to do is throw shade.

All you're doing is spinning stats to advance a narrative to downplay risk.

So are you. S Korea just declared a two week school holiday over this hoax, as y'all like to call it now.

It’s going to take a lot longer to make a COVID-19 vaccine than a treatment.

I'm not calling it a hoax. I expect it to become a routine infection just like the regular flu that moves from the southern hemisphere to northern hemisphere during the conventional flu season. Could be a rough two or three years until we develop a general herd immunity. There really is a lot of information out there if you had the curiosity to look for it.

No one said it was a hoax.

Rare Satutday briefing at 1:30.

Trump should have pledged his full support to public health experts and gotten the out of the way. Instead he chooses to make the pandemic and public announcements about the pandemic, all about him.

Mulvaney did at CPAC. Trump did at his rally.

Lawyerly parsing coming in 3, 2, 1...

hes fastly becoming an embarrasment

[Winehole23]

Trump needs to be less worried what the pandemic will do to him and more concerned about the danger it presents to the rest of us.

Same goes for kneejerk minimizers like CC and DarrinS.

USA coronavirus death rate instantly became 1.5%

Trump Claims Coronavirus Is

‘A New Hoax’

By Democrats

Trump accused Democrats of “politicizing” the disease by criticizing his shoddy handling of the outbreak.

“One of my people came up to me and said,

‘Mr. President,

they tried to beat you on Russia, Russia, Russia.

That didn’t work out too well. They couldn’t do it.

They tried the impeachment hoax,'” he told the crowd, saying that “it’s all turning.”

Then Trump declared: “And this is their new hoax.”

He added that he and his administration “did something that’s been pretty amazing” in response to the 15 cases of the virus in the U.S.

“We have 15 people in this massive country, and because of the fact that we went early, we went early, we could’ve had a lot more than that,”

Dems' impeachment/Russia hoax = Dems' covid-19 hoax

For the 42% (ST are members), that's God's Own Biblical Truth.

Who is minimizing it? There probably isn't any containing it, but in three to four years it will pretty much run its course. Yes people will die and that sucks but this isn't the armageddon bug.

You say I lack curiosity, but you haven't posted a single source for any of your figures and leapings to conclusions. You seem to think we already know enough about COVID-19 to come to conclusions about where this is headed. You also seem blithely dismissive of knock on effects from quarantine/control efforts.

Face it, CC. The information that's already out there doesn't teach us a damn thing about what we don't know.

first american death just happened

The death was reported in Washington state. Yesterday Washington reported a case without known exposure and it was in a high school student.

It doesn't have to be the armageddon bug for people to die because DJT deprioritized pandemic preparedness and is treating the outbreak as a PR problem.

The plural of anecdote isn't data. If the prevalence of serious symptoms is as bad as anticipated, hospitals could be taxed beyond capacity. The lack of containment protocols has already caused health care workers to self-quarantine, can't imagine that just stops happening as the pandemic becomes endemic.

what do you say about USA 1.5% death rate my niga?

[hater]

Surprised you guys aren't celebrating the coronavirus. It pretty much just kills baby boomers and older. Smoking is another high risk factor. The china numbers may not be transferable to the US since 50% of the Chinese still smoke.

a 19 year old american was our first death

thoughts?
