Their worries are that it's 3-5 times more contagious than the seasonal flu. They leave out the part that it's 2/3 less lethal than the seasonal flu. They're relying on a computer model to predict it's spread which turned out to be over estimated.
85% of the infected people who either didn't become ill or just got mildly ill similar to a common cold (There are 4 harmless corona viruses that causes the common cold) enabled COVID-19 to easily and quickly spreads as those infected think they only have a cold. No one knew a thing about the new COVID-19 virus, until at risk people started dying in great numbers prompting the expediency to study & record data. 14.95% seriously to critically ill are recovering from COVID-19. Without drugs or vaccine to combat it. It might be on the road of being as fatal as the 1918 Influenza or Spanish Flu (500 million infection 50 million death toll out of 1.8 Billion world population) which is very unlikely. COVID-19 can attempt to kill 50 million people only because there are 8 billion people in the world today, 4 1/2 times more than a 100 years ago. 1918 Influenza didn't care whether you're young, old, sick, or healthy while COVID-19 mostly victimizes the old & the sickly.
American Virologists such as Virus Hunter CJ Peters are saying that the COVID-19 virus is natural. It is revealed that the Obama Administration funded the virology lab in Wuhan to research corona virus in bats. An Obama affiliate or CIA holdover probably bribed an underpaid personnel in the lab to release it. Peter Strokz did text to Liza Page that they have an insurance policy. Bill Maher, SJWs, & (D)wTDS were dreaming of this scenario before the second Impeachment inquiry began over a year ago. Obama holdovers most likely thought this was a good plan since all (D) cares about is power & sheeples are just tools to manipulate in the pursuit of power.
The 3nd & 6th sentence of the above paragraph is just a theory, a probable theory seeing what great lengths the Obama FBI, CIA, & NDI will conspire with FUSION GPS & FISA court to attempt an espionage coupe to get the POTUS impeached.
China's outmost concern about its image is somehow backfiring on them by the onslaught of conspiracy theorist suspicious & critical of the Communist Government's handling of suppressing panic onto the Chinese public. Dr. Fauci has confirmed the COVID-19 is a natural virus that no country in the world can conceivably prevent, but can only brace from regardless of where the outbreak started from. China took extraordinary measure when it was apparent how contagious & unnoticeable the virus was with people not having symptoms, but it was too late as initially they focused on quarantining people having symptoms which allowed the virus to spread out of Wuhan to the world through foreign tourist, diplomats & business travelers showing no signs of infection.
There was an Africanized swine flu happening at the same time that started a couple of months earlier. China was under siege by two outbreaks, trying to control the outbreak on their own & keeping it to themselves than risk embarrassment by receiving help from an adversary making them look bad to people suspicious of Communist China's Gov. China did a good job containing SARS, but COVID-19 is 3-5 times more contagious than the seasonal flu & 2/3 less lethal. COVID-19 may be impossible to contain in a world connected by travel & transport where every day life requires social interactions in close proximity where COVID-19 air droplets can easily spread & infect in which the whole world was not prepared for.
Unlike Ebola, 99% lethal in mortality, is transmitted by eating rare to medium well Gorilla or any African primate/monkey bush meat or primate/monkey saliva, blood, urine from a bite attack or spat, sprinkled or sprayed onto an open wound, eye, mouth, anus or birth canal similar with HIV transmission. It took 3 1/2 decades of study & data to put a 1%-5% dent recovery from a 100% mortality rate without a vaccine, yet to be developed & procured knowledge in preparation to prevention & containment long before Obama came into picture. In terms of contagiousness COVID-19 is far more contagious than Ebola as transmission is through air droplets inhaled or touched from a surface having contaminated hand touching orifices on the face.
(D)wTDS thinks the CDC was perfect under Obama to elevate Obama & vilify his successor, when it's the same CDC & personnel running it for 3-4 decades. There are certain situation that no amount of preparation can prepare for. Anthony Fauci wasn't prepared for what was coming, though he is an expert & has served since the early 80s, he & most of the scientist on disease control just didn't know what they were dealing with. CDC had no choice but to copy how China & the rest of Asia handles this new COVID-19 Virus that is relatively unknown along with the data China release upon who are the most vulnerable, what pre-existing condition & blood type will likely gets seriously ill & dies... Without known vivid details about how seriously contagious the disease is, he & many other (lib) experts concluded that the Wuhan Flu is less of a threat than the seasonal flu. So, Anthony Fauci in Jan. 21st assured the public on NEWSMAX that the Wuhan Virus is not a threat to America. In Feb. 17th, he again said on air that the danger from the Wuhan Virus was miniscule. As the 15 days guidelines was near its end in late March, Fauci contemplated in quarantine up to a year. In early April, computer projection model was found over estimated.
The government under Trump began working on a vaccine BEFORE the first case in the US. Obama 6 days AFTER.
Trump had a test ready to go three days after the first case. Obama 13 days.
Trump declared coronavirus a public health emergency 9 days later. Obama 15 days.
Trump declared a national emergency 53 days later. Obama 204 days later
Trump was warning everyone about the coronavirus 15 days after the first case. No warning from Obama at that point.
The country hit 1m cases of H1N1 71 days after the first case. On the 78th day there were 367,000 cases of corona in the US .
The first vaccines started getting tested 56 days later under Trump. It was 98 days for Obama.
Obama also used up all of the N95 masks & ventilators from the previous administration and didn't replace them.
Obama would have allowed every major city in each state to become an epicenter & spreader through every entertainment arena & every mode of transportation because travel bans are 'racist'.
Once in a hundred years there's a pandemic that mankind can't prevent or control anytime. Micro plastic, Trans Fat, Hard Narcotics, Tobacco, THC Vaping, Weed, Sugars, & MSG (Ajinomoto) are somehow weakening our immunity from Single Cell Bacterial Viruses that mutate all the time allowing evolution to occur for billions of years & led to multi-cell organisms such as humans to dominate the word. Viral outbreak seems to pop up where large flocks, herds, & communities are densely packed. Every living thing (Animal, Plant, Fungi) on the planet has some sort of disease for billions of years. As mankind converts 85% of the planet's forest cover for human use: cultivation, roads, & development: entertainment, settlement, warehouse, airports... diseases have nowhere to go but where humans are to survive.
At some point the US & the world would need to cope & live with COVID-19 along other diseases that are more lethal than COVID-19, it is not a Doomsday bug. With an incubation period of 2 weeks, 6 weeks quarantine/shut down is more than enough. 85% infected with COVID-19 (0.05% Mortality) don't get ill or need hospitalization. COVID-19, though 3-5 times more contagious, is 2/3 less lethal than seasonal flu while the world is still dealing with HIV, EBOLA (99% mortality), & Syphilis without a vaccine. Shutting down the Economy for more than a few of months will put 280 million people, if not more than a year will put 320 Million people in the US into poverty where the government will have to nationalize the industries, private property, & public individualism. More deaths will occur from poverty in starvation, suicide, domestic violence, & capital crimes.
Shutting down the economy to the essentials only is a communist model economy. Sweden revered as a socialist success opted not to shutdown their economy while matching California's death toll per Capita proving that it doesn't matter whether you shut down the economy or not. Doctor Dan Erickson of Kern county was analyzing & exposing the natural & pre-existing conditions deaths that isn't respiratory being classified as COVID-19 death under pressure to inflate COVID-19 Mortality Rate. It is very likely that Influenza (seasonal flu) deaths are being counted as COVID-19 fatality as well. The Fatalities of COVID-19 makes one wonder the degree of mitigation measure is possibly being overblown.
