Coronavirus Update For June 18, 2020

By Rich Kozlovich

I've posted much to show this "pandemic" is mostly media driven hysteria, and in spite of all the evidence to the contrary, society has gone insane with this stuff. Therefore, I've decided to post the mortality rates regularly.

The COVID-19 Dashboard by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) at Johns Hopkins University (JHU) keeps a running total of deaths and proven infections.  As of 11:38 AM on June 18, 2020 here are the coronavirus rates of infection and the rates of mortality based on a worldwide population of 7,800,000,000 and an American population of 330,000,000 using this internet calculator.

Here are the results:

• Worldwide infections, 8,384, 083. Infection rate, 0.1%
• Worldwide deaths, 449,695 Mortality rate, 0.005%
• Confirmed infections in the United States, 2,164,497. Infection rate, 0.6%
• United States deaths, 117,783. Mortality rate, 0.03% (Editor's note. That number may have been inflated by fraudulent reporting by as much as 25%. Cooking the books here, and misrepresentation here.  RK

Please note the substantial difference between the infection and mortality rates of coronavirus and past virus attacks.

• In 1968 the Hong Kong flu killed over 1,000,000 people worldwide. Worldwide population in 1968 was 3,534,000,000. The mortality rate was 0.3%! America lost 100,000 that year, and morality rate was 0.05%.
• In 1957/58 the Asian flu, which originated in Guizhou, China killed up to 2,000,000 people in a worldwide population of 2,900,000,000 had a mortality rate 0.068%. America lost 116,000 people. The mortality rate was 0.07%. 

No one sought to shut down the nation then when the infection and mortality rates were much higher. Why are we now?

As for Ohio.  Ohio and the CDC keep playing games with the numbers.  There are two numbers representing how many coronavirus infections that have been in Ohio, and how many died.  I will cover both, based on a population of 11,700,000.

Confirmed cases 39,973.  Percentage of infections. 0.3%  "Probable cases" 43,122.  Percentage of "probable" infections. 0.3%.  Confirmed deaths, 2,401.  Mortality rate, 0.02%.  Expanded number, 2,633.  Mortality rate.  0.02%

Now we're finding out that these claims about asymptomatic coronavirus people, aren't really very infectious after all.  So, if that's true, and it seems it is, why were we told they were in the past, justifying all this social distancing, as long of course you were violently protesting, then it was okay to be inches apart.   The answer is historical.  It's the same of speculatory scare mongering tactics these people have always used, and it's based on leftist philosophy, not science.

As for Ohio and DeWine's continued and blatantly illegal restrictions on Ohio's citizens and businesses: Impeach DeWine and I've been advocating the dismissal of Dr. Amy Acton.  Well, that's been fixed except for she's still being paid her $185,000 salary, in a state with a budget problem.

Dr. Amy Acton, architect of Ohio's shutdown, resigns By Peter Skurkiss

The above-the-fold headline in all the Ohio's newspapers on June 13 was that the state's public health director, Dr. Amy Acton, has resigned. The sad-faced Dr. Actonsaid the routine of the past couple of months, which involved getting up at 4:00 A.M. to read and catch up while going to bed late, "wasn't a sustainable thing." Also cited from Democrats was the unrelenting criticism from many of Ohio's Republican legislators, who said the Acton-prompted shutdown was excessive.

Tom Zawistowski,(tomz@wethepeopleconvention.org)head of the Portage County Tea Party, put out a revealing news release reflecting on Dr. Acton's resignation. It said in part:

This came a week after Operation Rescue called for her resignation after publishing an expose of her troubled past......

One might conclude that exposure of Acton's past might have some bearing on her resignation.  Prior to her appointment as director of Ohio's Health Department, Acton was a pro-abortion activist and Obama-supporter.  Why she was appointed by the supposed pro-life governor, Republican Mike DeWine, has never been explained.  And DeWine hasn't learned a thing.  He is reported to have begged Acton not to quit.  When Acton remained resolute, he immediately appointed her as his public health adviser, no doubt with full pay...........The ultimate responsibility for Acton's behavior belongs to Mike DeWine. He appointed her and then followed Acton's advice like a lamb being led by a shepherd. .............. To Read More
