Norway just concluded the Covid19 lockdown was unnecessary. Thanks China for not sharing the much need data.
German study said the flu in 2018 and 2018 was more deadly than Covid19. Wake up people.
I say again, the corona virus is a nothing burger.

By all means ffqt, do get back to work. Opps! I forgot, you’re on furlough! Sorry, DS still says “No soup for you”!
It appears there are web bot trolls posting corona virus scare mongering replies on websites such as these. Let's get back to work.
Wake up sheep, this was a man-made virus weapon accidentally released by a United States backed company operating a research lab in Wuhan. Now big pharma, which already owns a vaccine, will magically create one in less than a year and we will be mandated to vaccinate in order to return to work. Who knows what the vaccine contains. Something to make us more docile? We can only hope.
AG Barr has tweeted that governments have overstepped their constitutional authority and now have the right to end the lockdown. Let's end this insane lockdown.

Noble - get back to work.
Yeah right, Sweden. Their mortality rate is ten times the rest of Scandinavia.
Hey Einstein you realize the number of deaths from COVID are also under reported right? People also croaking of heart attacks and strokes so no one has a clue about long term health issues.
Much disinformation in some of these posts. "the coronavirus is a nothing burger": it's k–led >47,000 Americans in 3 months. That's not nothing. "Its fatality rate is less than the flu" – not according to the CDC and other medical (as opposed to political or self-appointed media) "experts". Similarly, several recent studies (including one by the University of Virginia and University of South Carolina) have shown that hydrochloroquine and chloroquine have no apparent therapeutic or prophylactic value, despite all the hype and the anecdotal stories that have been bandied about. The FDA cleared them for emergency use in hospitals and clinics only since dosing is critical. At a time when science is more needed than ever, it's being replaced by politics.
There are numerous studies that shows the positive effects of hydroxychloroquine. On March 28, 2020, the FDA issued an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) that allows providers to request a supply of hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine for hospitalized patients with COVID-19. The study that you refer to was for patients in the Veterans Administration hospital with Covid19, all of whom were over 65. Not exactly the demographic that is still in the workforce. Your article is misleading or "fake news" when considering putting healthy Americans back to work.
Look at sweden
Your conclusions are utter BS.
Yeah, there are a lot more Covid cases out there than the official positive test count. That’s been understood since the beginning, given the high incidence of asymptomatic cases and the slow ramp up in testing. The experts have been saying for months there are probably 20 to 50 times more unreported cases for every positive test. That’s consistent with the numbers being quoted in the study. However, that is also the case with the flu. Most people with the flu never get tested either, so rationalizing a lower death rate for Covid-19 by adjusting the base number upward without doing the same for the flu is just bad math.
It also misses the most important point: hospitals all over the globe are being swamped with Covid patients. Hospitalized Covid cases are more severe than the flu and require longer supportive care. If governments hadn’t implemented severe control measures the disease would spread that much faster, hospitals would be overwhelmed and the survival rate would crash.
The medical experts all say this virus is 10-20 times deadlier than the flu. In the US it’s only been 2 months and the death total is already approaching the annualized flu fatality numbers. That’s with severe control measures in place. Do you really believe the next 10 months will be any better without an intervention plan in place?
Look, I get it. This crisis is trashing the economy, the oil industry and this company. We all want things to go back to the way they were. I want things to go back the way they were. Unfortunately, that isn’t realistic.
Governors can order businesses back open all they want, but that’s not going to do much to help. A significant percentage of the population will continue to avoid public places until they believe it is safe. The economy will continue to drag because of it and that’s just reality. Sorry, no V shaped recovery.
The point here is if you really want things to get back to normal the public’s concerns will have to be addressed. If you’re one of those people who believe in... cough... “Breakthrough Thinking", then here’s one for you: Get after your political representatives to stop faking it and come up with a real plan. One that includes adequate testing and mitigation efforts and a realistic time frame. Until they do we are all scr#wed.
Yes, it is a lot more widespread with the same death numbers. This means COVID19 has a death rate lower than the common flu. It will become more obvious in time that everyone has overreacted.
This is the official title of the article referenced: "Stanford antibody study suggests COVID-19 more widespread than official confirmed cases." Here is the link: https://www.ktvu.com/news/stanford-antibody-study-suggests-covid-19-more-widespread-than-official-confirmed-cases.
