Covid19 Panic causes tunnel vision. Don’t be that guy .

Coronavirus in China started on December 31 with 27 suspect cases .

On January 18th it peaked with a 95.2% increase in new cases .

On the 21st new cases were at a 51.2% increase

From the 22nd to the to the 27th it plateaued at around a 50% increase in new cases daily.

Then it started to drop to the low double digits.

On February 22nd china reported new cases were at 0.8%

A little over 6 weeks and the transmission rate had dramatically dropped in China.

China

The first cases reported in South Korea were on February 18th . They peaked on March 1 and have been dropping every since. With over 200,000 people tested. Which Should’ve made the rate climb.



South Korea

First case in Italy were around Feb 21st . The Infection spread fast just like China. If it behaves the same way we should see it tapering off in a week or two.



Italy

“ Pandemics” from a “highly contagious” surface and airborne virus. Shouldn’t peak in 4 to 6 weeks.

Italy is the litmus test for my decision.

Just for good measure. Here’s Italy’s fatality rate.



Here’s South Korea’s fatality rate.



In the meantime.

I’m going to enrich myself and help the economy. I’m going to buy some stock Charmin and Scott . 🧻


Everything you wanted to know about Covid19 but were afraid to ask

Am i the only one routing for a zombie apocalypse?

Your excellent post sheds additional light on why some people in the media are pushing the panic button so hard right now.

They know their schemed hoax will be exposed in a couple of weeks, when Americans realize that we have passed the peak of the coronavirus threat in this country.

Their window to ruin the economy and severely damage President Trump, will have closed.

So how do you explain what's happening in Europe then?

Just curious.

a reply to: jamespond

Give me some numbers I’ll take a shot at it .

a reply to: carewemust

And when it happens the Democrats will try to take the glory for stirring up the panic . While continuing to blame Trump for the diseases onset .

www.bbc.co.uk...

The number of cases of coronavirus reported every day in Europe has surpassed China at its peak.

Your OP skips over a huge factor in why the cases dropped. It stopped spreading as freely. Extreme, shocking , authoritarian measures were taken to quarantine the area most heavily impacted.

Otherwise, your graphs and charts would look much different.

It looks like Italy will be the litmus test for the rest of Europe . I’ve seen articles like you had .

I was asking for dates of infection and percentage rise per country .

My point was it seems to have a peek and then level off .

This is from your article .

Italy has recorded its highest daily toll yet.
There were 250 deaths recorded over the past 24 hours, taking the total to 1,266, with 17,660 infections overall.

I’ve given my thoughts and a link in the OP .

How so ?

There is no point trying to get through to these people. Rational thought is long gone.

I wouldn't be surprised if anyone with a cold is dragged out and burned alive, in the coming weeks.

It's hysteria like I've never seen, and I've lived through a ton of these.

That's been underway since the advent of the iPhone.

I didn’t think for a second this would be a popular thread.

Doomers gotta doom.

It could be that a lot of people have a lot of natural innate immunity to this particular virus. The ones who could catch it got sick upon exposure, but I bet at least fifty percent of people won't need to worry about catching it.

What with all the Navy ufo videos and innuendo, and sudden implementation of a 'Space Force" by the President, and all of the Antarctica speculation, and not to mention the almost constant Space X launches, maybe there's something they're not telling us about he virus.

I have suspected this as well. There's a lot of people popping off at the jaws that 100% spread to all humans is inevitable. A foolish foregone conclusion, in my opinion.

LOL! Predictable. Politicians can do nothing, so they attempt to get out front and pretend that the draconian totalitarian measures they have taken are the reason the virus is dropping in numbers. There in it precisely to claim credit.

Reminds me of roosters crowing in the morning to let us all know THEY are the ones who made the sun rise.

I've said the same in the past about some people having a natural resistance or immunity, but apparently since this is a "novel" virus that means no one has a resistance or immunity. Pretty bold statement in my opinion.

At some point all past viruses were "novel."

You be the first to turn into the zombie because corporations will have the cure. Virus isn't black magic, its worst.

There are a couple of reasons as to why China has got this under control. It's mainly to do with the fact that they have surveillance techniques available to them that privacy laws in the west protect us against.

For example, the police have been monitoring apps like wechat to identify cases and then isolating those people.

The stats in Europe show that this disease, despite tailing off in Asia, is growing overall. This week Angela Merkel admited that 70% of the German population will contract the virus. The UK government said up to 80%.

I've been monitoring the stats using this site from the beginning:

www.worldometers.info...

It has the individual country breakdowns that you're perhaps looking for.

The severity of the virus isn't what people should be worrying about, most people that get this disease are going to be fine health wise. It's the further impact that it will have on society that will be the problem, businesses going under, job losses, recessions etc. etc
