Numerators and Denominators in the Coronavirus Saga - American Thinker
Numerators and Denominators in the Coronavirus Saga - American Thinker
"To ascertain how fatal a virus is, we need an accurate picture of how many people have it (the denominator) and how many have died as a result (the numerator), we have neither, but the data is improving and with it some substantial shifts away from the original model, which predicted far more deaths as a result of the Wuhan virus than we are seeing.
(Rather like the Zika scare where the claim that virus resulted in natal microcephaly was proven upon examination to be anecdotal and not scientific -- but only after the WHO declared it a pandemic and we spent $1 billion to deal with it.)
Early models also could not accurately predict how quickly the virus would spread and what tools could be brought in to limit mortality.
As the data comes in, we have reason to be more optimistic that the death rate will be lower, the extreme efforts to control its spread should soon be relaxed, and that efficacious treatments are already underway.
(Unfortunately, I can be far less sanguine about the end of Democratic rapaciousness in the face of national emergencies or media disingenuousness.)

Coronavirus Update (Live): 799,710 Cases and 38,720 Deaths from COVID-19 Virus Outbreak - Worldometer
Coronavirus Update (Live): 799,710 Cases and 38,720 Deaths from COVID-19 Virus Outbreak - Worldometer--Jim Riley
No, the USA does not lead the world in "deaths/population".
We are 21st in the world. (lower # is better)
- The USA has the 3rd LARGEST population in the world.
- The USA has honest, efficient reportage of COVID-19 victims. Unlike China(1), India (2), Indonesia (4) and Russia (9).
Of course we report higher numbers than smaller countries.
And we're only that high because we have the most accurate numbers of any nation.
- We need facts, NOT media half-truths. (that are really lies)
- We need facts, not democrat, political talking points.
- We need facts, not unsubstantiated fear mongering.
So here is an excellent site for up-to-date COVID-19 reported stats.
Most importantly, it's sortable. (explained below)
- Update this daily to see just how badly our media is lying to you:
"Total cases" merely reflects the honesty of our process and the fact we are testing more than any other country.
"Total deaths" is far more important, and harder to cover-up.
"Sortable" means you can click the top of each column and re-sort for that data-set. IE: "New cases", Total recovered", Total deaths", etc.
Notice that most advanced (democratic, capitalist) nations have higher numbers (not good) than communist/dictatorship nations. That's because criminal countries lie. Simple.
New photos from Wuhan reignite doubts that communist China is being honest about coronavirus - TheBlaze
A new development in China is refueling theories that China's communist government is not being honest with the world about the coronavirus.
This week, families in Wuhan — the Chinese city of about 11 million people where the COVID-19 pandemic originated — were allowed to begin picking up the cremated remains of loved ones who succumbed to COVID-19.

Hillary Clinton's attempt to politicize coronavirus to mock President Trump ends terribly - TheBlaze
Hillary Clinton triggered an avalanche of backlash on Friday after she politicized the coronavirus outbreak to mock President Donald Trump.
She lied!-----Whitmer won't name vendors she said were told to divert medical supplies from Michigan
Whitmer won't name vendors she said were told to divert medical supplies from Michigan
"The Democratic governor's suggestion Friday that the Trump administration was actively blocking the flow of medical supplies to Michigan hospitals drew criticism from Republicans after the governor's office did not put forward any supporting evidence of her claim.
"I think people are trying to make this into a different story than what it is," Whitmer said Sunday on CNN.

"I think people are trying to make this into a different story than what it is," Whitmer said Sunday on CNN.
Late Saturday night, GOP state Reps. Annette Glenn of Midland and Mary Whiteford of South Haven sent Whitmer a letter asking that her office disclose "names of individual vendors with whom you or members of your staff have spoken, names of their companies, gubernatorial or agency phone logs, e-mails, etc. — so that we can immediately join you in taking quick action to remove any and all roadblocks."
"What you allege, governor, cannot be allowed to stand or continue," Glenn and Whiteford wrote..."

Here Are The Pro-Life Protections In The $2 Trillion Coronavirus Emergency Relief Package | The Daily Caller
Here Are The Pro-Life Protections In The $2 Trillion Coronavirus Emergency Relief Package | The Daily Caller:
Senate Republicans won several pro-life protections in the CARES Act that ensured federal funding will not be used to pay for abortions. These protections include disqualifying Planned Parenthood from receiving aid, ensuring that health care spending in the bill is covered by Hyde Amendment protections, and extending the Sexual Risk Avoidance Education Program — a program that teaches abstinence until marriage.
“Republicans won critical pro-life protections in this relief package, despite a last-minute attempt by Democrats to make Planned Parenthood eligible for disaster-relief funding,” Sen. Tom Cotton told the Daily Caller News Foundation on Friday.

THEY WANT A STAMPEDE: Distortion and fear...
THEY WANT A STAMPEDE:
- The US is nowhere near having the highest number of cases per capita.
Look at the cases per million numbers here, and you’ll see that the US has one of the world’s lowest rates (at the moment, anyway), not the highest at all. (currently 21st in the world)
That will change and go up, of course, as testing continues.
But it’s the more important statistic than sheer number of cases, although neither tells us very much right now.
- Then there’s deaths per million.

"WATCH: On Joy Reid's MSNBC show, she warned that President Trump might be planning to "expand his power under the guise of national security" to achieve the goal he has always had.
Joy Reid fretted, "Of course, it's hardly news that Trump has always had designs on reigning as a monarch with unlimited power, rather than serving as a mere president in a democracy. But with the country facing an unprecedented public health crisis, what lengths might he, backed by an Attorney General whose writings and actions point to a fundamental belief in an all-powerful presidency-at least when the would-be king is a Republican-what lengths might Trump go to, to expand his power under the guise of national security?"...

Joe Biden Said To Believe Women Who Say They’re Sexual Assault Victims. Now He’s Denying A Woman’s Sexual Assault Accusation | The Daily Caller
Former Vice President Joe Biden’s campaign on Friday denied the sexual assault allegations coming from a former Senate staffer, but in 2018 he said that any woman’s public claims of sexual assault should be believed to be true.
As Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh continued to be accused of sexual misconduct throughout his confirmation hearings, Biden sat down for an interview with The Washington Post to discuss the allegations, saying that all women who say they are sexual assault victims should be believed.
