That plus this from May 21.  What's next?  CDC and WHO say CORRECTION: "It's just the flu, bro."

It will eventually be milder than seasonal flu.

But you don't want to sleep on this virus, it's not out for the count yet. It will catch it's second wind around October. Plenty of old people for it to still take out.

But what about the MIT study?

Second, an infected person constantly sheds virus particles on almost every surface he touches, such as glasses, keys and phones. That would include the vertical metallic poles shared by standing passengers. A crowded subway train is thus an ideal incubator for coronavirus transmission (Qian et al. 2020).

More proof that most studies are absolute shit.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHA!

The corona virus. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHA.

And some of you actually fell for it. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHA.

they have been adding Covid to almost every single cause of death certificate, Influenza normally kills between 250k upwards of 650k worldwide, its odd its only 82k so far this year

You say this with such certainty. How could you possibly know that "they" (whoever they are) are listing COVID-19 as the cause of death on almost every death certificate. Surely, you exaggerate.

Is it not possible that folks who might otherwise have gotten the flu ended up sick with COVID-19 since both are viruses? One difference is there is usually a mutated strain of the flu for which vaccines aren't as effective.  Flu season is October through March. According to the CDC, in the U.S. there were between 39,000,000 – 56,000,000 flu illnesses during this year's season and 24,000 – 62,000 flu deaths. COVID-19 hit the U.S. in January. Since then there have been 2,020,000 cases and 117,586 deaths. If these figures are accurate COVID-19 is far, far more deadly than the flu.

There aren't good statistics for flu cases and deaths worldwide. The World Health Organization estimates that worldwide, annual influenza epidemics result in about 3-5 million cases of severe illness and about 250,000 to 500,000 deaths. I could not find information on this year's number of influenza deaths worldwide. Where did you read that it was 82,000? That figure seems a bit odd since there were as many as 62,000 flu deaths in the U.S. alone which leaves only 20,000 deaths for the rest of the world.

How many getbiggers did we lose?

How many getbiggers did we lose?

quite a few actually

I mean- this virus was extremely deadly towards African Americans.....plus factor in that they were obese you nearly double your chance of dying

[johnnynoname]

Oh you said getbiggers


....i thought you said big nig.....

No, Im not making it up, its been admitted already, a death can be listed as Covid as long as they have shown symptoms, no test required, look at the graph posted above

I have already posted the governments guidance on establishing cause of death, most cause of death autopsy reports list several symptoms that cause death, its not that hard to add covid as well bearng in mind we are in the middle of a pandemic

You missed my post.

The WHO is not saying now that "eventually" asymptomatic spread of coronavirus "will be" very rare.  They are saying now that it is rare, always has been, and that they were originally wrong about that.

The CDC is not saying now that "eventually" the virus "will not be" spread easily from contaminated surfaces or animals.   They are saying now that it is not spread easily from contaminated surfaces or animals, never was, and that they were wrong about that.

Same goes for "don't wear a face mask" to "you must wear a face mask" to "face masks aren't necessary."

The points regarding the WHO and CDC means very little  to me as I stopped paying attention to them very early on.

It was very obvious from the start they were either full of BS or completely clueless (The former more likely than the latter). Remember they once claimed that there was no human to human transmission.

Masks can work if everyone wears them, but not everyone can or will wear them, so it's pointless and can even be detrimental if you're a healthy person. I stated a month back I wasn't wearing one.

Where are you working bro? Having to wear a mask will suck. I will be refusing/avoiding it where possible even if that means I have to walk 2 hours to get to work instead of taking the train.

The asymptomatic reporting has always been wrong so means nothing. The way the media reported things has most people confused between asymptomatic and presymptomatic spread.

The WHO have actually always said asymptomatic spread is unlikely. It's the media that misled people on this one. They were labelling people spreading virus as asymptomatic during the few days before they went on to develop symptoms. They should have been calling them presymptomaic.

The bigger question is given the WHO have always said asymptomatic spread is likely rare, why is it suddenly making the news now and in this way.

WHO: Asymptomatic spread of coronavirus appears to be ‘very rare’
The New York Post ^ | June 8, 2020 | Bob Fredericks
Posted on 6/9/2020, 9:58:38 AM by Texas Fossil

People who have the coronavirus but don’t display symptoms aren’t driving the spread of the pandemic, World Health Organization officials said Monday.

“From the data we have, it still seems to be rare that an asymptomatic person actually transmits onward to a secondary individual,” Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, head of the WHO’s emerging diseases and zoonosis unit, said at a news briefing in Geneva, CNBC reported.

“It’s very rare.”

Health officials warned early on that asymptomatic carriers could be fueling the spread by stealth — but Van Kerkhove said that while asymptomatic spread can occur, it is not the main way the virus was being transmitted.

“We have a number of reports from countries who are doing very detailed contact tracing,” she said.

“They’re following asymptomatic cases. They’re following contacts. And they’re not finding secondary transmission onward. It’s very rare,” she said.

You wrote "almost every death certificate". Had you said many death certificates, that would be more believable....at least to me. Anyway, I assume by they you mean doctors and nurse practitioners since coroners are usually involved in deaths from natural causes. So, what reason do these folks, WHO or the CDC have to make the COVID-19 appear to be greater than it is?

Well, thats something we may never know, one things for sure it this pandemic was a lot more than a virus.

They are now claiming the chances of passing the virus on if you are asymptomatic are very low indeed, which begs the question why bother locking down people with no symptoms?

[Megalodon]

The Corona Virus doesn't spread at gatherings I support.

Let's suppose we've been trolled by the corona virus. For what reason then? Why the economies will shut down and everybody will loose alot of money?
The lockdown was not even so long to destroy small business. So why they'll make this virus up?

If by "they" you mean the WHO then they always made a point of asymptomatic spread being unlikely. It was certain parts of the media who have and are confusing the issue.

Also how do you know if you're an asymptomatic non spreader or presymptomatic spreader?

serious question - what do we call people who don't have it

There have been trillions of dollars printed as a result of this. That’s not an opinion. It’s fact. Do you not think some of that money is going to the medical establishment?

The virus is real. A lot of governments were willing to take a hit on the death toll though, but then some "experts" and media pressured them into shutting down telling them we'll bury you if you don't.

Governments gave in and shut down. Some politicians, lobbyists and mega wealthy saw this as their chance to consolidate power and profit . The same shit basically happened after the Spanish flu and 9/11 so they already had a playbook.

Also note that not everyone lost a lot of money. It was mostly the middle class.

the majority...?
