Default U.S. could become 'coronavirus epicentre'

WHO spokeswoman Margaret Harris said in Geneva there had been a €śvery
large acceleration€ť in coronavirus infections in the United States which
had the potential of becoming the new epicentre.

Over the past 24 hours, 85 percent of new cases were from Europe and the
United States, she told reporters. Of those, 40 percent were from the
United States.

Asked whether the United States could become the new epicentre, Harris
said: €śWe are now seeing a very large acceleration in cases in the U.S.
So it does have that potential. We cannot say that is the case yet but
it does have that potential.€ť

One of the doctors put it in simple terms on TV last night. Instead of
arguing about whether the virus is spreading exponentially or geometrically
or whatever, she put it this way.

Worldwide, it took 67 days to reach the first 100K cases.
Then it took just 11 days to reach the next 100K cases.
Then it took just 4 days to reach the next 100K cases.
Finally, she predicted that it would take just 2 days to reach the next
100K cases.

That's some pretty steep growth.

Oh crap. I just checked https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ and
we've topped 400K cases now. She was wrong, it took less than 2 days.

Your own lefties at CDC and WHO agree that 80% of people who get COVID experience mild flue symptoms and then recover without intervention.Â* The 80% group consists of healthy working people under age 63.

The 20% problem group is us old farts, age 64 and up and typically in poor health. This is the group that requires ventilators and hospital care.Â* But these folks are typically retired so they could stay safely at home out of harms way.

There! Problem solved.Â* No corporate bailouts required.
