I have placed what I feel is the most important information at the top of this page. If information previously available is no longer here, please check below on previous days.
Helpful suggestions and information
If you already are feeling anxious about everything that is happening, please understand that much of the following information may cause more so consume it carefully. I provide the helpful suggestions and information link above for those wondering what to do. I will try to add to it as I come across positive and seemingly legitimate information to help people fight the good fight.

Although the WHO ILSI link above is not directly related to CoVID-19 I placed it to be a legitimate comparison instead of estimates.
*looks like the link is working now, but here is a screenshot from 3-28-2020 just in case it goes down again.
I had just looked at it within the last few days and I believe that the peak numbers from late Jan were just under 50k per week globally. Currently (3-23) new CoVID-19 tests are around 30k per day.
Here are some other CDC numbers for New York state to compare to.
Please understand that the above overview is from mid February. I have reexamined the information and most of it is still applicable today and going forward. It contains legitimate scientific information describing what it is, how it spreads and gives insight as to how much it has spread just since mid February. Remember, this virus strain was unknown by most of the world even by the beginning of 2020. I believe many people still don’t understand how serious this is but hopefully the more people know, the more they will understand and the more people will make informed, caring decisions and be prepared for whatever happens next.

Exclusive: The Strongest Evidence Yet That America Is Botching Coronavirus Testing
3-23-2020
Today is just a hard slap of reality. I am still talking to people who seem to think that this is really no big deal. I also read so, so many comments after articles that suggest that there is still a disturbing amount of people, usually younger (but not necessarily) who are going out without any protection (masks, glasses, antiviral disinfectant) and ignoring the officials, professionals and news because, big shocker, they think they are lying and that this is so out of proportion given the numbers we know compared to previous recent out breaks, i.e. 2009 H1N1. Accusations fly from both sides and no one really knows what is going on. The confusion and division is going to kill so many more people. I have such a small following that I don’t even know if anyone visits this page regularly or at all. I have hope that my new business venture will help reach more people and they will find the information useful. Understand that there are currently about 4 times as many people testing positive for CoV-19 every week globally than were testing positive for ALL influenza strains at the peak of the season this winter, and that is with a lack of testing for various reasons in the U.S. and other countries.
*looks like the link is working now, but here is a screenshot from 3-27-2020 just in case it goes down again.

If you are someone who is still doubting the severity of this threat, I encourage you to read these following 3 articles start to finish, twice. If you already know this is bad, you may not want to read them because they are deeply disturbing.

It has been an interesting 11 days since my last post. I have been to multiple Minnesota healthcare facilities and I have spoken with multiple coworkers, some of whom are already seeing COVID-19 suspected and confirmed cases. Some of the stories are disturbing: not enough personal protective equipment and a doctor throwing away a COVID-19 test because she was “sure that the patient didn’t have it”. I personally and professionally believe that if true that doctor should be reprimanded. Multiple healthcare systems and facilities have gone to a no visitor policy with very limited exceptions. I am currently working with my employer to start an intravenous infusion clinic focused on immunity and preventative health wellness. I am hoping to have this business running within 2 weeks.

Please remember that all of the world’s leaders, all of our governments, everyone who is making decisions good or bad, they are all just people and it appears that they are dealing with something that very few of them could have ever imagined. When the realization sets in that no one has control over this microscopic entity everyone is capable of making good or bad decisions. The best we can do is try to take care of ourselves and those we potentially come in contact with, using love and not condemnation, even people who we feel have misguided us recently.
Everyone should understand this is a lose-lose situation. The economy is already affected and will likely be affected more. People will get sick and more will die. There is no preventing either of those outcomes. Regardless of how this virus started, where it started, how it spread, what was done to prevent it, etc. None of that really matters much at this moment. I believe that there are a lot of questions to be answered but regarding the present, people really should be making informed, mature, intelligent decisions.
Since Washington state is America’s current epicenter it would seem wise to follow what they are reporting and understand that it may happen in your state soon.
This article from the Asia Times regarding their apparent increased success comparatively is just more information to consider if interested.
3-10-2020
It seems to me that regardless of all of the information available an unfortunate percentage of the population still chooses to believe in one end of the spectrum or the other:
- The coronavirus is being sensationalized and it really is no big deal.
- The coronavirus will be the end of the world as we know it.
The problems with these ways of thinking are many. Both are possibly true to some degree but neither are completely true alone. It is obvious to me that the media and others are attempting to use this crisis as a way to manipulate politics so of course it is being sensationalized. Does that mean its no big deal and we should ignore it? I believe that is dangerous and irresponsible. Should we all panic and buy a bunch of TP? Also dangerous and irresponsible. Why not somewhere in between?
On Friday my wife came home and told me that she felt she had a fever. She proceeded to help with dinner anyway and big shock I had a fever by Saturday evening. After 3 days of sweating, chilling, headaches, body aches, coughing and more hot showers than I can count I seem to be recovering as is my wife. I have stayed at home the entire time while she ventured out after she was feeling a bit better. We don’t know what it is but neither of our kids seem to be affected yet. My wife got the flu vaccine and I did not. Take away from that what you will.
We all have to make our own choices. Some of those choices will affect only ourselves but many will affect others around us. If we are feeling sick or even just a bit “off”, the decision to go out in public and pass on a virus OF ANY TYPE could mean someone who is vulnerable actually dying.
My biggest concern is the potential stress to the healthcare system. I work in hospitals all around Minnesota and I have seen how quickly they can go from having plenty of space to having to divert to other hospitals because either the beds are full or they don’t have staff to care for the patients. Just having beds does not mean facilities have staff. This article describes a real possibility of what could happen in the coming months.
If we choose to tell everyone we know that the coronavirus is no where near as bad as influenza when NO ONE really knows how bad it truly is because NO ONE knows enough about it yet then you may be giving those people misinformation. There are reasons why entire countries like Italy are employing a quarantine for everyone and enforcing it with strict consequences for failing to comply. There is a reason why schools are cancelling on site classes in multiple states in the U.S.
https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2020/03/10/osu-cancels-classes-through-march-over-coronavirus/
These are just two examples. There are reports of schools closing and reopening after “deep cleaning”. There are also reports of large events being cancelled or banned due to concern over potential spreading.
The reason I am highlighting these facts is not to cause fear or panic but to show what life may be like over the next several months. Your children’s school may be cancelled. What will you do? Events are being cancelled, that costs a lot of money so they wouldn’t do it without just cause. Does it make sense then to go out in public any more than necessary? If this really isn’t even as bad as influenza, why haven’t these measures occurred every flu season? Please be aware that the comparisons between the coronavirus and influenza are manipulated. I keep seeing numbers being thrown out like 20k people die each year from influenza in the U.S. and 646k die globally. I’m not sure how accurate that is but it is irrelevant because they are all ESTIMATES. My coworker even sent me this:
I responded by saying: You realize that this is comparing actual cases to estimates? I’ve gotten no response yet.
This is exactly what I’m talking about though. Downplaying CoVID-19 or comparing it to estimated numbers is irresponsible at best because it makes people think its no big deal and they go along their lives as normal while at the same time potentially spreading a virus that kills susceptible victims or may just get some people really sick, possibly sicker than influenza. I was just sick for 3 days and it was no fun but I did not end up in the hospital. Regardless of whether CoVID-19 is less or more severe than Influenza it is in ADDITION to influenza and every other illness out there that affects many people so it should be taken seriously. I don’t usually put a lot of stock into mainstream media due to the bias on both sides but I believe Tucker does a very good job laying out our situation in the two following excerpts:
Tucker: We must remain calm but not complacent about the coronavirus
Tucker: Extortion from China is the real threat
So if you are someone who is at one end of the spectrum or the other please become as educated as possible about what is really going on and pass along valuable information that is not manipulated or political. We are all guilty of seeing what we want to see and arguing against alternative viewpoints when they don’t fit our view. Is that really best for ourselves and those around us? I know that I don’t know it all. I am trying to sort out the most legitimate information available and I come across a lot that isn’t. Sticking to one talking point or view means putting blinders on to everything else. One of my friends thinks that this is either nothing to worry about and the media just wants to take down Trump or we are all screwed so if I’m right I should just go live in a hole for the next year. Talk about no in between. I hope and pray that this will not be as bad as some are predicting but I believe the people who will fare best are those who prepare; physically, psychologically, emotionally and above all spiritually. It may be a rough ride and life could change dramatically for a while. Are you ready?
3-6-2020
The last couple of days seem to have been more of the same:
- More people stocking up and some panic.
- More cases and more questions.
- More political distractions and divisions.
This CBS interview is somewhat concerning though. Really listen to what this epidemiologist says and how serious he looks.
I do not get the impression that he is motivated by anything but the truth as he sees it. I would actually be more concerned if people weren’t getting ready for what could be a really bad year. I just hope they get more than TP and bottled water.
3-3-2020
I actually read about this several days ago but honestly forgot about it until I read it again and found an official link:
World Bank pandemic fund
What I get from this is that if a pandemic occurs then countries in need get the millions of dollars for assistance. If no pandemic occurs, investors get their money back with interest. If the WHO declares this a pandemic after July 15 of this year, questions need to be answered.
It also appears that the CDC site is going to be updating numbers more frequently but they are still currently not listing test numbers. They are also currently not keeping up with other numbers. Total U.S. deaths are off by one and total U.S. cases are off by a dozen or so. This is better than it has been but I mention it to inform that there are multiple sources that can be utilized. I have links to 3 at the top of the page. I think its good to be able to check them against each other even though those numbers are sure to be low compared to reality. It will be interesting to see how they react when testing actually starts to occur.
I can only hope that the CDC’s decision to stop posting the number of people tested on their site is due to the challenging nature of keeping it accurate, especially since it seems to be challenging for the CDC to even keep up with the news and the Johns Hopkins map on the numbers.
9:45 am CST
The CDC’s site: Updated March 2, 2020
COVID-19: U.S. at a Glance*
- Total cases: 43
- Total hospitalized: 17
- Total deaths: 2
- States reporting cases: 10
| Confirmed | Presumptive Positive** | Total Confirmed & Presumptive Positive | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Travel-related | 12 | 5 | 17 |
| Person-to-person spread | 4 | 22 | 26 |
| Total cases | 16 | 27 | 43 |
Johns Hopkins:
The numbers are small but I am sure communities would like to be aware of how significant the local outbreak becomes as soon as possible to be able to make wise and informed decisions. I am glad that my community seems to be taking it serious and attempting to keep ahead and transparent:
Minnesota ready to begin testing for coronavirus | kare11.com
The two top stories on that link are valuable I believe. The second story is about a couple who were on the Diamond Princess cruise ship and then quarantined for several weeks. The story offers some perspective and hope.
3-1-2020
It would appear that the CDC updated the number of tested on 2-29 but are still only listing 272 total tested in the States. South Korea has jumped to over 3500 cases and Italy has over 1100 confirmed. U.S. is at 71 but having only tested 272 compared to thousands tested in S.K. and Italy. Confusing unless you understand why. Please also remember that the test kits are “inconclusive” at times and many people aren’t showing symptoms for some time. At this point it is far more likely that over half the population is going to get this, the only question is what the true mortality rate is.
2-28-2020
I am finding it difficult to process all of the information regarding this virus. On one hand I do not think it is wise to panic, on the other hand the actions taken by some global communities are disturbing. In some cases those actions seem wise even though they may cause economic hardships. Other actions seem dismissive and irresponsible.
Do we only concern ourselves with what we “know”? If that is the case then what we know is only what we experience around us, right? If we can’t believe anything we see in the news, on the internet or coming from the governments then we might as well wait until someone we know has been tested for it and is positive, right? To me that seems about as wise as waiting to do anything until the flood waters are at your doorstep. By then it is likely too late. I am not looking to cause panic or spread doom and gloom, I really just want people to be aware. I read so many comments after articles that are one end of the spectrum to the other. In the middle is wise and informed decisions. How can we be informed with all of the misinformation? My personal decision is to be as informed as possible. This unfortunately takes quite a bit of time, sound logic and reasoning. I will try to summarize here:
Numbers are just numbers until they are put into perspective. It is becoming an irritation to me that people keep dismissing this new virus because “way more people get and die from influenza every year”. This information really needs to be understood because it is misleading. The numbers given by the CDC regarding influenza are ESTIMATES. The numbers given by the WHO are recorded cases and are far different. Please don’t dismiss this outbreak just because of “estimates”. I am not minimizing influenza but I would advise against minimizing this virus that is not completely understood yet. Sticking to numbers, it is also irritating that people keep throwing out low death rates. A 2% death rate may seem low but it is not accurate. According to official numbers as of 2-28-2020:
| Total Confirmed Cases | 83,715 |
| Suspected Cases | 2,358 |
| Serious/Critical Condition | 7,952 |
| Total Deaths | 2,859 |
| Total Recovered | 36,117 |
| Death Rate (Deaths / Recovered + Deaths) | 7.34% |
| Death Rate (Deaths / Confirmed Cases) | 3.42% |
So as you can see just based on these numbers the death rate is not 2%. I would like to point out that there are still more than 45,000 people who have been diagnosed and have not yet recovered. These numbers depict a much higher mortality rate than influenza.
Then people say “well China is dirty and their healthcare is poor so….”. Fine, lets compare some numbers of westernized countries:
South Korea: Total: 2,337 Deaths: 13 Recovered: 24. That is a 35% mortality rate with more than 2300 still likely hospitalized.
Italy: Total: 655 Deaths: 17 Recovered: 45 That is 27% mortality with 593 still likely hospitalized.
Japan: Total: 226 Deaths: 4 Recovered: 22 That is 15% mortality with 200 likely still hospitalized.
I only show these numbers to provide facts and not spin which is what it seems the officials like to do. There is plenty of evidence that China is not giving accurate reporting. I would be more likely to believe official numbers from S. Korea, Italy and Japan.
I don’t believe for a minute that we are getting all of the facts so I choose to look at the overall trends and continue to try to find answers that seem legitimate.
I would like an explanation for these questions:
- If there are now (2-28-20) over 2300 cases known in South Korea, why are flights still coming and going so regularly? Only a couple of airlines so far have limited their flights: Link
- If this is “no worse than the flu or cold” and “seasonal influenza kills way more people every year” then why have multiple countries closed schools and businesses and cancelled events?: Link Link Link
- Currently there are only 60 confirmed cases in the U.S. but there have been less than 500 people tested?
Update: 3-3-2020 CDC site is no longer listing number of people tested.
Official CDC site with U.S. cases and # tested
The above link seems to have contradicting information to the Johns Hopkins map. The CDC link is provided to show the amount of people that have been tested in the U.S. as of 2-26-2020. It would seem to me that given how many people have returned from countries with significant infections reported in the last 4 weeks that there would be many more tests administered. The CDC page is also only updated Monday, Wed, and Friday and seems to be behind official news reports.
This is what I believe:
- Try to stay healthy and clean. A good immune system is the best defense only second to hand washing and staying away from sick people. Eat well, take good vitamins and get enough sleep.
- Prepare for the possibility of similar events happening in the U.S. that are occurring in other countries like school closures, events cancelled, travel restricted and, worst case scenario, encouraged or forced self quarantines with hospital overpopulation.
- Continue to watch and read as much as possible and make informed and wise choices to protect your family and friends without fear and panic.
- Given that A. there is a limited amount of tests being administered and B. these tests are not necessarily accurate and C. officials are known to be deceptive, we have to be very careful about what we believe and tell people about what is actually happening.
- I list this last but I believe it is the most important: Pray for understanding, wisdom, patience and love. Connect with your Creator as much as possible.
I hope that helps, that is really my only goal with this documentation.

I have just returned from Arizona where I was blessed to be able to take my daughter and friend up to the Grand Canyon after their soccer tournament. It was so breathtaking and awe inspiring that any fears I had are now gone. I am still concerned for many people in the world. It was less than a generation ago that horrible things happened when people turned their backs to what they probably knew was happening. Are we doing it again? I think we have for some time but now the enemy isn’t even hiding it well anymore and the atrocities are becoming more significant.
There are still conflicting stories coming out of China but even our own government doesn’t believe the official reports.
If this next article is true, the world is standing by and watching an enormous country quickly depopulate their own people.

Yale has sponsored a study recently pre printed here:
https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.02.06.20020974v1
The report begins below, please use link to see entire article.
Abstract
Background: Since December 2019, acute respiratory disease (ARD) due to 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) emerged in Wuhan city and rapidly spread throughout China. We sought to delineate the clinical characteristics of these cases. Methods: We extracted the data on 1,099 patients with laboratory-confirmed 2019-nCoV ARD from 552 hospitals in 31 provinces/provincial municipalities through January 29th, 2020.
The above is in no way complete and not my words. If the above link does not work you can also download the PDF here:
The most concerning part of this report in my opinion is this excerpt:
The median incubation period was 3.0 days (range, 0 to 24.0 days).
If this virus indeed has an incubation period of up to 24 days, even if a small percentage of the population are carriers for this long it could mean that this will spread for quite a while. Please understand that this is not likely going away any time soon.
Below is a link to an article which talks about the drop in Chinese manufacturing with several graphed indicators but it also has several disturbing videos showing what citizens are experiencing.
2-12-2020
In summary of the last few days alternative media is providing perspective on several key issues.
I feel that awareness of the global economy and how it will be affected by this outbreak is most important only because most people in the U.S. will likely feel the effects of it in their pocketbook.
The global economy will also likely be affected by people changing their travel decisions if able. I was listening to 98.5 KTIS yesterday and they were taking calls from people who have plans for cruise vacations and what they are deciding based on all of the ships that are now quarantined.
I find it very interesting that USA Today reports that this ship was denied entry to 3 ports where Bloomberg reports 5. Gotta love MSM.
Even the link is different from the headline.
Its so sad that they are now referring to the ship as a pariah because it has been rejected so many times.

The last item I wanted to draw attention to is the “conspiracy theory” that this virus is actually a bioweapon. The mainstream media and “many experts” say that this is just a result of exotic foods and poor sanitation. What if it isn’t? I don’t know but there are a lot more questions than answers. I provide this link for those of you willing to go down that rabbit hole:
Zero Hedge is full of ads and distracting links but to provide a focus:

Yet even with this above information available, I guess many people still don’t see any risk.
I was watching “Pandemic” on Netflix yesterday. Epidemiologists and doctors from many walks talk about their concerns with the possibility and probability of an eventual runaway pandemic. I sincerely hope and pray that this isn’t one. I encourage everyone to watch even the first two episodes of that series or watch the documentary on the 1918 Spanish flu to gain a bit of perspective as to why everyone should know as much as they can about this.

Hundreds of hospital workers in Hong Kong strike: Coronavirus fears wipe $400 BILLION off the value of China’s stocks: Almost 20,000 infected in China Prof believes more like 100,000
Good morning. I have just come across some conflicting information. First I would like to report that the map shows that there are now over 17,000 OFFICIAL cases reported world wide with 362 deaths and 536 people who have recovered which begs the question, are there still more than 16,000 people who still have it? That thought is disturbing given that it seems there are nearly 1000 new cases officially reported every day or more. (no idea how many cases actually because there is still a significant limitation to testing and reporting) China has officially opened its new hospital built in less than a week. I can’t imagine it would pass US codes…
What I really want to get to is the discrepancy between the information I have found on the 2019-2020 global influenza data. I provided information two days ago which was covered by Fox news later that day, the exact same information box. Scroll down to 2-1-2020 to see it along with the link to the CDC page.
This morning I did a bit more research and came across this:
If the graph link doesn’t work then this link below will bring you to the WHO page where you can select your own parameters.
That graph depicts global reporting of ILIs (Influenza like illnesses). If you look at this graph closely it would appear that ALL OFFICIAL influenza reports from the World Health Organization (WHO) did not exceed 50,000 last year and peaked at just over 20,000 this year. It is already declining. I also noticed that there are at least 1000 or so ILIs reported officially every week but it took 14 weeks for the virus to hit peak reporting this year. Unless the graph is cumulative in which case it is still far less than what is on the CDC site.
CoV 2019 is quickly moving toward those official numbers and it only took 5 weeks or so to get there.
In realizing this I thought, well how can this be…I just read that the CDC put out numbers for this season:
19 million illnesses
180,000 hospitalizations
10,000 deaths
Wait, what? Then I re read what the CDC said:
CDC estimates that so far this season there have been at least 19 million flu illnesses, 180,000 hospitalizations and 10,000 deaths from flu. (bold italics mine)
This significantly contradicts the WHO’s official numbers. With this mentality we could estimate far greater numbers based on all information coming out of China and the surrounding countries. Also keep in mind that the official reports do not match the precautions that are being taken when these suspected cases are found and transported. If influenza is so much worse than this coronavirus, why don’t we treat influenza patients and suspected cases like this:
Seriously people, wake up. You are not being told the whole truth via MSM. Be aware, be prepared.
2-1-2020
Before moving on to the CoV 2019 coverage I want to provide perspective which a friend helped me with:
CDC estimates that so far this season there have been at least 19 million flu illnesses, 180,000 hospitalizations and 10,000 deaths from flu.
https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/index.htm
Obviously this is global and reportedly 1300 have died from any influenza like illness (ILI) in the U.S. although I have not seen that officially anywhere yet. I don’t doubt that the different strains of influenza causes many deaths every year or complications leading to deaths.
I can appreciate having something to compare to because we do have to keep perspective as this has been the argument with other “outbreaks”. It does not mean that we should dismiss the information coming out just because the numbers are low for CoV at this time but we should not panic or be afraid. Being aware and prepared is a much better place to be.
Official confirmed cases have jumped by over 1000 in one day to 11,374. Total deaths: 259.
Within the last 48 hours President Trump has taken the first steps to attempt to limit the spread of CoV 2019. This happened AFTER he went on record as having spoken optimistically about the US’s ability to stop this from spreading here like it is in China.
I wanted to document this because if this does start to spread it is likely Trump will be blamed for much of it.
Remember, this outbreak only began just over a month ago and that these are “official” numbers. There are plenty of reports that these numbers are far below what is actually happening. I lay out evidence farther down this page on previous days.
Please be aware of the attempts of the media to still keep people calm. I find it interesting that for previous outbreaks the coverage seemed much greater. Many times these reports and scares were followed by vaccination recommendations. Zika is one that comes to mind but I know from my own experience that the annual influenza vaccine is pushed more now than ever.
To understand the mainstream media one has to look at who is in charge. I will not get into that because it takes much too long to provide all the evidence. My point is that the official media and reports are eclipsed by the impeachment news. Short clips of certain “officials” saying that its pretty bad in China but our CDC will be on top of this seems to be what MSM is passing for now. I wonder how long that will last.
I cannot verify this but what I have read is that a vaccine for this CoV 2019 is likely 3 months to a year away. I have heard that scientists are having a difficult time actually sequencing this virus. I can tell you that I will not be taking any rushed vaccine based on my own experiences and it will likely be a point of contention within my own family.
My own experiences and those of my family has has been telling to me. I have not taken the flu vaccine for years and when the rest of my family gets sick, it usually takes longer for me to get sick and I am usually sick for less time. This last fall my son also did not get the flu vax but my wife and daughter did. All 3 of them stayed with my in laws for 4 days where multiple family members were sick. I also went but for only a day. Within 4 days of returning, my daughter and wife showed their first symptoms. They were both sick for nearly a month before their symptoms mostly resolved. My son showed first symptoms about a week after exposure but his symptoms completely resolved in less than a week. I did not get sick for more than a week after exposure and my symptoms resolved sooner than my wife.
This account is just to provide perspective and reminder to those who have recently had similar illnesses within their households. I have also heard from coworkers that there have been both respiratory and gastrointestinal symptom illnesses this winter here in Minnesota. It does not seem that many people I have talked to have gone very long without being ill to some degree.
A friend of mine gives me an important perspective when he talks about the MSM. He tends to watch prime time coverage and decide how important it is based on what they say. Given that this coverage is controlled and limited along with the fact that many people are watching other shows or doing other things in life during this time, I’m wondering what it will take before more people start paying attention to what is going on.
This is a very well done documentary about the 1918 Spanish influenza outbreak that killed between 50 and 100 MILLION people back then…. just for perspective.

China’s National Health Commission said on Thursday the total number of confirmed deaths from the coronavirus in the country has risen by 38 to 170 as of the end of day Wednesday, as the number of infected patients rose by more than 1,700.
The commission said in a statement there are now 7,711 confirmed cases, with an additional 12,167 suspected cases. Of the new deaths, 37 were in the epicenter of the outbreak in Hubei province and one was in the southwestern province of Sichuan. Source:

I have to be honest….following the CoV 2019 is not pleasant. It instills a fear that I am not used to. I have been examining this fear and come to the conclusion that its not so much fear for myself, no I don’t want to get sick but I don’t fear death for two reasons.
- I believe there is a better place waiting for us after death
- I am not entirely convinced that this virus will really kill that many people.
The fear that I feel is for others. I am fully aware of how fragile our health care system is. I am aware of our homeless population, especially in large cities. I am aware of the fact that there is a large percentage of people in the U.S who are unhealthy and will likely get very sick from a fast spreading virus like this which in turn will likely overwhelm the U.S. healthcare system much like it is in China. Every day it seems that information is coming forward that indicates progression of the spread, yet there seems to be an effort to minimize the concern by people in the know. Maybe I’m being totally paranoid and I’m getting “fear mongering misinformation” but it seems unlikely when its coming from multiple sources and some are official. Given that China’s “official” reports of confirmed cases and deaths are obviously low due to the facts that:
1. They have a 2 day waiting period to be seen by a doctor, hence why they are building 2 new “hospitals”, likely single level and made from shipping containers so as to be functional very quickly. The reports of the estimated time frame has been 10 days to 4 weeks. The two day wait is likely for testing.
The container hospitals are likely more of a controlled quarantine and hopefully effective intervenous treatment rooms. I’m not sure how they can treat thousands of new patients without running out of supplies but we shall see.
2. If there is a 2 day waiting period, it is likely that many people are just returning home without testing or treatment. These people will either recover or they won’t. Either way they are not being counted.
3. China is now threatening its citizens to stop sending out any unofficial information regarding the situation.
Anyone who is aware of China’s social credit system knows that they can enforce the threat in many ways. This will not stop all unofficial reporting but if it turns into a trickle, it can be labeled “conspiracy theory or misinformation” and most will ignore it until it becomes official.
The WHO is meeting behind closed doors to determine if this is to be labeled a “global emergency”

Russia announced that it will close its far eastern border with China to prevent the spread. This is completely impossible but they probably just mean that the border checkpoints will turn back any travelers.

Each of these steps alarms me and should alarm many others. Due to the “Boy who cried wolf” syndrome that most are feeling from the repeated outbreak scares we have had over the last decade or more that turned into nothing burgers, people are tuned out or they are completely tuned in to the nonstop impeachment coverage. I show in videos below how much it is covered by the MSM and how little they talk about the CoV 2019. Please pay attention.

Below is a link to an article that talks about multiple subjects regarding Wuhan and also has a video of how empty the highways are in mid day. Just above the video there is a world map of the current 4500 OFFICIAL cases (no idea how many people have not been tested who now have it). Over 106 deaths, again “officially” so who knows how many are not listed because they deem the cause of death as pneumonia or infection. Never mind the uncounted numbers of people who have been turned away from hospitals who have just gone home and died.

Below is the cable MSM coverage of “news” from about 6 am to 7 am in the first 3 videos followed by a video of multiple alternative media sources. I felt inspired to report on what most people are seeing verses what alternative media is reporting on the coronavirus outbreak in China.
Finally some coronavirus coverage on MSM
Here is some current Alt media coverage of the coronavirus outbreak.
