Because the infection rate is higher than reported, but people aren’t dying. Local medical are speculating that the virus has been here for months. (I know, speculation is a one way street here).

A for instance- the Commonwealth of KY is only testing people in “high risk” groups. Presently, as of 5:10 PM EST yesterday, only 8 confirmed cases of 65 tests ran state wide. With no plans of wide spread testing being available until mid April.

Even if you have the virus and go to a local hospital, you’re going to be treated for a viral infection, and released.



And if people are/were sick,or have died from covid-19 and were not tested for it,they don't enter onto the radar either.The lack of testing makes it hard to know what is really happening.

My daughter is up at Gunstock Ski Area in Gilford, NH right now to compete in the U12 Eastern Alpine Ski Racing Championships and the organizer’s just cancelled the entire race.

My son’s U16 Eastern Alpine Ski Ski Racing Championships scheduled for six days of racing at Burke Ski Area in VT next week has been cancelled.

I am bummed for all of the racer’s at each of these events, as they all worked so hard to make their State Championship Teams.

All domestic and international racing events that the U.S. Ski & Snowboard Association is either governing or participating in for the balance of this season have been cancelled.

Per the CDC... 630,000 people are expected to die of Cancer in 2019.

There will be 1.9 million new cases of cancer diagnosed.

Stats are for the United States.

Add in other ailments, car accidents, workplace deaths, accidental deaths, etc., this Chinese Bat Flu won't even register.

People need to chill the fuck out.

Went to the Dollar Store because I needed pasta. Dude in line had three carts of TP. Stuffed full and nearly falling out.

Almost everyone in line had multiple packs of TP.

I don’t get it.

Sometimes you just have to let the herd run itself out to exhaustion. Just try to stay out of the path of the stampede.

Was it an old dude? Maybe he was one of those jerks buying .22lr at WallyWorld during the last ammo panic and reselling it...

When you put unlimited as much as you want olive oil and crushed red pepper in your spagbetti sauce, it all makes sense.

Not sure if this has been posted.

YouTube Video: Joe Rogan Interview with Michael Osterholm, an internationally recognized expert in infectious disease epidemiology.

Michael Osterholm is an internationally recognized expert in infectious disease epidemiology. He is Regents Professor, McKnight Presidential Endowed Chair in Public Health, the director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP), Distinguished Teaching Professor in the Division of Environmental Health Sciences, School of Public Health, a professor in the Technological Leadership Institute, College of Science and Engineering, and an adjunct professor in the Medical School, all at the University of Minnesota. Look for his book "Deadliest Enemy: Our War Against Deadly Germs" for more info.

**** Note: The interviewee mentions his book, so perhaps his intentions are suspect

Please don't take this as my doubting you. I hope you are right. Can you produce a link to a CDC or DoH study/finding? I am absolutely not being told that at our facility. Quite the opposite.

It was posted a couple pages back. There is an infectious disease link referenced by Dr. Osterholm that seems to collect all of the relevant COVID-19 news.

Here it is:

I can't provide a link. This was told to us in a Webex presentation my employer gave.

I know it is very cynical thinking, but I wonder how much of this emergency declaration is to get in line for the Federal dollars that will invariably soon follow, rather than true concern.
