As of 3-13-2020 there are approximately 1,408,526,449 billion people in China with 3,189 deaths, wow low percentage. There are approximately 5.5 billion people in the world and approximately 5,814 deaths in the world. According to the CDC, as reported at www.abc13.com Atlanta on this date 22,000 deaths this flu season with 36 million illnesses and over 370,000 hospitalizations. Rates of flu for children 0-4 and adults 18-49 are the highest on record surpassing the 2009 H1N1 pandemic.

These are staggering numbers, we're told how scared they are for the elderly, what about all these younger on as reported by the CDC. Seem as though there's something else going on. I'm not into conspiracies but the numbers don't lie, think there's a world wide agenda? Makes you wonder.

Good news for sure.

Everyone is all up in arms about this because it’s new. And the fact you don’t show symptoms from anywhere from 5-14 days is concerning. What’s so bad about this one is the contagion nature of it. Immediately transmitted as soon as you get it.

So while most of us are going to be ok *knock on wood* we don’t want our most vulnerable people to get it and overload our hospitals.

I’m glad this is hopefully turning a corner. We will make our daily life when it comes back all the more sweeter.
Probably have a incline here. But like China,early April should slow down

Because it isn't so. There was one day where they had over 200 deaths, March 11th, and it was reported. To date, there are less than 18,000 cases in Italy and sadly 1,266 deaths; worldwide 5,617 deaths. In comparison, as of today the CDC reports that 22,000 people have died this flu season in the US alone. So far, this disease doesn't appear to be that deadly. It could end up being worse but most who have died are elderly with underlying health issues, the young are hardly impacted. The media as usual, because it is how they make money, has sensationalized this. We should all take precautions but the panic button that has been hit is something else as are the rumors running amok.

If 22,000 died, how many had it?

So does the round mound of rebound have it or nah? Little worried that we haven’t heard it came back negative yet.

This is what makes it so hard for me to grasp all of this.

you guys do realize China shut down completely right? Their numbers were starting to spike hard and they went and lock everything down.

Same thing with Iran, South Korea, Italy, Spain, and germany with partial. All these countries are basically shutting down completely. Which was the only way to slow down the spread.

I don't think people will like the numbers you would have seen if China didn't lock it down, or Italy, or Spain, etc.

I'll miss the tv commercials with Charles, Samuel and Spike that play during March Madness. So funny, and becoming a part of Madness.

Still not enough tests available. Not sure why thousands are able to be tested overseas but not here. It's bizarre. Starting to wonder if it's purposeful to keep numbers down so as not to create more panic or make results look rosier.
Sure. A real fake news.

Wanted to bump this in case anyone had seen an update. I hadn’t seen anything and hope he’s doing alright.

Also hope everyone on here is doing okay. Even you posters who annoy me from time to time.

Was Charles even tested? Or just feeling bad and stayed home?
Saw where Tom Hanks and the Mrs. are out of the hospital.

Not trying to be a dick but there is between 7.5 and 8 billion people on earth not 5.5. So that makes your argument even stronger.

I'm convinced that he's having major issues. He said six days ago that he was anxiously awaiting his test results and now nothing from him.

21,000 TESTED. The actual number of infected is probably 10 times higher.
They don't have kits to check you here in southeastern ky.. I know hazard and pburg don't.. Havn't heard from Pikeville.. They're just saying they're ready for it.. So may be only place here that has the tests.. Hazard n pburg you're ****** if you have family in either place.. Zero visitors allowed where they have no tests..

Here’s my conspiracy theory....China manufactured this virus in one of their labs. But somehow it escaped. And this virus is one of a two part concoction that will be a deadly war time instant killer. The second part of the equation is still in containment but fears of it getting out and interacting with Covid 19 uncontrolled is what is making this a worldwide panic by the governments top levels.

I heard part 2 is actually being injected to one person in Maysville KY and they want to see how quickly it’s kills 1/3 of the earths population.

Still not a peep from Sir Charles. I guess there's always the possibility that he's keeping a low profile after all the news about well-known people getting preferential treatment, but this has a bad feel to it.

Strangely quiet. But Chuck isn't on social media so if he's isolated we wouldn't hear from him unless he's interviewed or Shaq/Kenny/etc tweet something

Yep, negative.

If you're a celeb/personality.. and you tell people you might have it.. how about inform us a bit better of how it's going? If a celeb wants his privacy, that's fine. But don't come out with it and then leave everyone in the dark. That's how paranoia and panic starts
