- It is called a self-fulfilling prophecy. It is insane."
You've said this often throughout the thread, even against the backdrop of the ever rising figures,
But your position requires you to address the worldwide reaction and the causes for it - whether sociological, psychological, mass hypnosis etc, because to simply state it is fear mongering is to miss the elephant in the room, which is governmental response.
Football matches across the world were called off today, except Russia, Australia and Turkey. This is unprecedented in modern times.
What is your take on the causes of the response?
I only ask because I don't know the answer myself.
My numbers are not made up but based on assumption of potential continued infection rates. Obviously if the infection rates lessen the final numbers will be less!!

Declared cases! The real numbers could be staggering and we are about to find out how staggering.
I hope so, because the more actual infected - that were previously going undetected because they were either completely asymptomatic or whose symptoms were so minor they weren't inclined to see anyone about it - the lower the real/actual CFR will be...
If the numbers outside China are expected to continue to grow exponentially to a peak in approximately 10 weeks time (according to UK Chief MO)
What makes you think his guesses are correct? That is all he is doing, you know. It is far too early to be able to make solid prediction models. That said, as testing ramps up...
If the number of cases doubles every week for 10 weeks then number of cases worldwide will be something like this in 10 weeks and I would guess conservative at that!
80k x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 81m +
Assume 5-10% death rate = 4 to 8m dead
Or, you could use the far more likely CFR, which is based on the current/real/actual numbers we have today of 0.5-1% (as stated by Dr. Fauci), as opposed to your fear-mongered numbers - so:
Ass-u-me-ing your declared cases estimate of 81m
that would be
0.5-1% CFR = 405,000 to 810,000 dead.
Still not good, as it is admittedly 10+ times worse than the flu, but also, far less than your made-up numbers suggest, and simply doesn't justify destroying the worlds economy, especially when you understand - actually comprehend - that it is here, and nothing will stop it. The best thing to do would be to take a week or two of everything shut down to prep - lock down any and all of those at highest risk, especially in places like group homes/care facilities where they are heavily concentrated (by lock down, I mean, develop a system where the care givers are living in/with the residents for the duration of t he lock-down, to prevent chances of them bringing it in from outside) - then open the spigot and just let nature run its course.
Incidentally, I spoke with my two parents about this, as well as 3 other older people I know who are in the highest risk category, and they all said the exact same thing... without hesitation, they all said they would happily let this thing take them, rather than their children and grandchildren.
I don't want my parents to die, but they are going to die some day. It is called the great circle of life.

I am not sure if you are intelligent, naive or just plain stupid.
Whichever it is, you are entitled to your view/perspective but I for one do not agree with your position.
Based on what has occurred to date and the sequence of events since this virus (tool) became known to the world whilst it was ravaging in China, along with information that has been related during these 5 threads it is rather difficult to discard the fact that this virus is in no way natural but in fact appears to have the makeup of a very well designed best results wish list depopulation tool. A clever cocktail of components derived from other known viruses, be they Sars/Mers/HIV/Syph etc.
My opinion! I would be very happy to be wrong!!!!
We all have theories (this is a CT site after all) - mine is it is a last gasp effort to squash the huge grassroots Nationalist / anti-Globalist movement that started with Trump - with the hope of damaging his chances of re-election this fall due to the hit the economy is taking right now.

I'm guessing most of the people making these decisions, including Media heads were in attendance or had representatives at the 2019 bilderberg conference?? Guessing this was their agreed upon sequence of events to remove POTUS Trump and try to salvage their old world order (since 1973).
It will fail. The virus has not lived up to the hype, the danger is gravely overstated and most of America knows it and ignores it other than finally being just a tad bit more sanitary conscious.
The other countries who's citizens are already used to having few rights thanks to monarchs and overreaching socialist governments will also eventually come to their senses and realize what a goose chase they been on.
This is another experiment on social conditioning just like y2k. It's easy to scare all the worlds citizens into compliance when all the worlds media has been consolidated into a single group of owners who all work together for nefarious purposes.

My goodness...
We have 355 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in California.
That's 0.003 of our population. Seriously.
Just stop. This is mass hysteria on a macro basis.
Dude....
10 days ago in the U.S. there were a little over 100 cases today there are 3,800 cases. Imagine what it is going to look like 2 months from now. You are in for a very rude awakening buddy.

Wondering how many of you plan to get in line for the coming SARS-CoV 2 vaccine, whenever it is ready?
This is probably what would happen if a depop exercise was planned. And knowledge of such would be restricted.

There are several things going on here. Because, as much as the virus is making its way around, there is also the economic aspect.
Why have more than 1,300 CEOs left their post in the past year?
That's a good question isn't it? More recently, the head of Disney, Google, all the biggies. And hey, talking of end times virus advocates, even good old Billy G has just left Microsofts board...
Bill Gates is stepping down from Microsoft board
I mean, you have to wonder why anyone would patent a corona virus
Sars-cov patent
There are signposts all along this road.

And don't forget, they still aren't testing in any real volume. Supposed to start later this week.

Reality check:
6,000 have died of COVID-19 in the last few months.
22,000 - 55,000 have died of the flu in the last few months.
80,000 died of the flu in 2017.

I must apologize, I posted this in a hurry and got the numbers a bit skewed... I will now correct my mistake, using current numbers to date (in keeping with the Updates' nature of this thread)...
To date (as near as I can tell):
6,527 people have died worldwide from COVID-19 since the numbers started accumulating (couldn't find a start date on the Worldometers site).
The WHO estimates that between 290,000 and 650,000 people die each year worldwide from seasonal influenza (couldn't find anything solid for this year/season).
69 people have died in the USA of COVID-19.
22,000 - 55,000 people have died in the USA from the flu so far since Oct 1 thru March 7th.
6,527 vs 450,000. 69 vs 35,000.
And flu is a high risk to young children, COVID-19 is not.
Let those numbers sink in for a second, then tell me again how serious this is. Please.

I think the exact opposite - people will be screaming to bring everything back inside national borders, this is/will be a major wake up for society as the general public might actually realise that profit isn't everything and it is much wiser to produce your own meds, food.... rather than rely on countries 100/1000's of miles away.
