COVID-19 News Out of Asia
China, amidst strong world condemnation for falsifying the number of deaths in Wuhan, recently released new numbers. The amount dead almost doubled, but considering this is the epicenter of the pandemic, less than 4,000 deaths in a city of 11,000,000, it’s still hardly credible.
Either they are still lying (very possible), or its just more evidence of extreme over reaction on everyone’s (ok, not Sweden’s) part.
Let's pretend for the moment the numbers a real, in Wuhan, 4.6% of the population caught the virus. Of those. 7.7% died. But that means the death rate to the overall population is currently .035%.
Meanwhile, South Korea reports that about 2% of those who had COVID-19 test positive a second time within a month of initial recovery. They say these people are not nearly as contagious as an initial case and the only some show even mild symptoms.
While doctors are choking teenagers for not properly social distancing, the world actually seems to be handling this pretty well from a health standpoint.
Now, if we can get the Stasi-loving totalitarians under control (looking at you informants and cops acting without regard to the Constitution), we’ll have a chance at rebuilding an economy we apparently never should have destroyed.
