Over the last 24 hours I have developed mild symptoms and tested positive for coronavirus.

I am now self-isolating, but I will continue to lead the government’s response via video-conference as we fight this virus.
Together we will beat this. #StayHomeSaveLives
OP the link you posted in large letters has the following headline “Swiss Propoganda Research”
How does one take An article with that headliner seriously or even think of the article as something worth sharing online or repeating it’s claims?
Also they claim and I quote “10% of the deceased are over 90 years old. 90% of the deceased are over 70 years old.”
Do you believe that ridiculous statement and how did you verify the truth of it from WHO or CDC?
It’s truly amazing that they claim no one over 60 has died and no one under 70 with underlying conditions such as diabetes, heart conditions, immunocompromised, or respiratory issues has died. Truly amazing, but highly unlikely.

The WHO was extremely late on telling the world about the seriousness of the virus. They didnt implement any actions till just about every country was infected.
Using the WHO or the CDC to verify the truth is like having the Democrats investigating into Epsteins death.
They said 90% of the dead people are over 70 years old what is true. The 10% is younger than 70 years but almost all of them had chronic illnesses already. The whole site full of sources and official statistics you just have to read everything. Maybe it's not fit of your doomsday fantasy, but still much believable than any WHO stats.
At the same time USA expect in the 2020 flu season more than 38 million flu patient, 400.000 will be hospitalized and around 23.000 will be dead the end of the 2020 flu season. There are already more than 150 children died from the flu. Happened against the tens of millions flu shot and flu medicines. And no one worried about it. Interesting.

Key Points
Nationally, the percent of specimens testing positive for influenza at clinical laboratories continued to decrease while ILI activity increased for the second week in a row after declining for three weeks. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, more people may be seeking care for respiratory illness than usual at this time.
Nationally, influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses are now the most commonly reported influenza viruses this season. Previously, influenza B/Victoria viruses predominated nationally.
Laboratory confirmed influenza-associated hospitalization rates for the U.S. population overall remain moderate compared to recent seasons, but rates for children 0-4 years and adults 18-49 years are now the highest CDC has on record for these age groups, surpassing rates reported during the 2009 H1N1 pandemic. Hospitalization rates for school-aged children (5-17 years) are higher than any recent regular season but remain lower than rates experienced by this age group during the pandemic.
Pneumonia and influenza mortality levels have been low, but 149 influenza-associated deaths in children have been reported so far this season. This number is higher than recorded at the same time in every season since reporting began in 2004-05, except for the 2009 pandemic.
CDC estimates that so far this season there have been at least 38 million flu illnesses, 390,000 hospitalizations and 23,000 deaths from flu.
Antiviral medications are an important adjunct to flu vaccine in the control of influenza. Almost all (>99%) of the influenza viruses tested this season are susceptible to the four FDA-approved influenza antiviral medications recommended for use in the U.S. this season.
Read the article again.
They say this from the article "The average age of the positively-tested deceased in Italy is currently about 81 years.
10% of the deceased are over 90 years old.
90% of the deceased are over 70 years old."
That unverified stat is extremely unlikely.
The fact that you compare it to the flu is ignorance at best and shows your lack of understanding of the virus.
It's meaning in the 90% the 10% included. It never said 90% is between 70 to 90 years old. They say 90% are older than 70 years, included the 10% who were older than 90 years old.
I'm not compared, I just wrote the fact. Flu is serious too at ANY ages with lots of dead people worldwide.
LOL you can't even read and understand what you are reading without your uneducated bias.
10% of the deceased are over 90 years old.................90% of the deceased are over 70 years old.
No where does it ever state any of those claimed numbers are included in the other. No where does it say younger it says over
Like I said those unverified stats are extremely unlikely.
No you don't understand. 90% is older than 70 included the 10% who is older than 90. It's simple math. The first number is true and the second number is true. The less 10% is younger than 70 many of them with chronic illnesses. In your reading 100% of the dead people are older than 70 what is not true, and the article never said that.
COVID-19 is not the flu. Listen to medical experts.
The world doesn't run out of ventilators during the flu season.
There's vaccines for the flu, but the majority of people don't get it. Flu vaccination coverage among adults was 37.1%, a decrease of 6.2 percentage points from the previous flu season. Vaccination coverage varied by age group and state, and coverage decreased in all age groups and in most states. In other words, many of the cases are preventable but people refuse to get vaccinated.
With the flu, you don't become contagious until you have symptoms. Not so with C-19.
There's currently no vaccine for C-19, meaning everyone is susceptible to caching it.
covid is up to 10 times deadlier, the symptoms of covid are different from the flu, flu has a vaccine, and the flu is seasonal. For all these reasons, we don't run out of ventilators when 19 million Americans get the flu each year. 180k still end up in hospital though... but they don't need ventilators since flu doesn't attack respiration in the same way.

Bill Gates warned us. We were complacent and now we pay the price.
For the most part, covid is impacting people that are already sick, unhealthy/compromised, or old. Obesity, old age, and pre-existing serious medical conditions probably account for 95% of covid deaths.
What could we have done?
Ban Chinese wet markets?
Dont eat bats?
Dont eat Pangolins?
How about China telling the world there was a virus going around they know nothing much about and close their borders back in December??
How about Canada closing its borders and air travel BEFORE it gets here and not infecting every province first???
Something doesnt add up......
The problem is that many people are carriers and do not display symptoms. You can have full-blown COVID-19 and feel perfectly fine. So because you feel fine, you don't take precautions, pass it down the line, and someone who is elderly or vulnerable ends up contracting it and getting seriously ill.
Not socially distancing right now is socially irresponsible.

The 21st Century will be marked by the "COVID Wars" - an revolving door of highly contagious viruses, one after another, attacking and killing humanity. We have the science to develop vaccines but what we lack is time/speed to keep up with the mutations. We require years of testing, trials, and results to fight a war happening every second right in front of us. The once invincible superpower of the USA will decline into Third World status as the economic and social stability that we took for granted is stripped away. This is one possible future.
And isolation is even better. It also addresses your point of being asymptomatic. If you have it with no symptoms, you would have had to have caught it prior to your isolation. Then if you are at home for two weeks, I think that you would no longer be a carrier.
Absolutely correct; my bad for not saying "isolation", which is what we all should be doing. Cheers for the update.
I also loved how the title said real stats. Just seeing that made me immediately suspicious.
Yeah. If you are staying home alone, there's a reasonably good chance that you won't be within 6 feet of anyone else.
