You're not going to address any of the other points?
Probably not. I've posted quite a bit on this topic, and am growing weary of it. I've compared deaths per thousands in Wuhan to flu deaths in the US in recent years, to the Spanish flu at different periods, and to Cancer deaths in the US. I don't see anything, at least from a virus perspective, to be worried about. I am on record saying that my original projection of deaths from this virus will probably be between 100-200,000, and revised that down to less than the 2009 Swine Flu numbers of 19,000. That would be for the year, so if the official numbers exceed either of those estimates before Dec 31, 2020, feel free to come back and gloat.
Beyond that, everything else is spin. It's still a very small sample size from mostly a specific area (Wuhan) in the winter months, which are always the most serious and deadly for any disease. It's supposed to be a virus that was discovered only four months ago, I don't know why everyone thinks that any info being handed down from so called health authorities should be treated like gospel truth. Nor do I see anyone questioning if the diagnostic tests are giving a significant amount of false positives.
The data outside of China don't show it growing, either. 6,789 cases outside of China, only 106 deaths and 197 in critical condition. That's only 4.4%. In China, the number of Deaths plus those in critical condition hasn't been below 10%, even though 5,000 fewer are in critical condition today than were last week, and most of those didn't go to the death toll numbers.
Bottom line, I am not worried or concerned about this virus in the slightest. I don't think the virus itself causes all the things that have been attributed to it, same way the I don't think the H1N1 virus was primarily responsible for the 20-50 Million deaths from the Spanish Flu.
