As of Tuesday evening 3-17:
** There have been 6,194 confirmed cases of coronavirus in the US
** There have been 102 deaths due to coronavirus in the US
From our report on Monday —
The current estimate for the fatality rates for the coronavirus just don’t add up. The estimates based on current data are completely inaccurate. Current data shows that this virus is much less deadly that even the common flu from the 2019-2020 season.
And as The Gateway Pundit reported earlier today the controversial Ethiopian politician and Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, claimed in a press conference in early March that the fatality rate for the coronavirus was many multiples that of the fatality rate of the common flu.
This egregiously false premise has led to the greatest panic in world history.
WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus announced on March 3rd: About 3.4% of reported COVID-19 cases have died. By comparison, seasonal flu generally kills far fewer than 1% of those infected.
This inaccurate statement by the WHO director started the global panic.
The global panic will likely lead to a global depression.
The US stock market is down 8,000 points in the last month!
The Visual Capitalist put the current coronavirus pandemic into perspective.
According to the number of global deaths the coronavirus is one of the smallest pandemics in modern history.

Realist - Everybody in America is soft, and hates conflict. The cure for this, both in politics and social life, is the same -- hardihood. Give them raw truth.
