Coronavirus Update For June 19, 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 6:56 AM on June 19, 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, 8,509, 373. Infection rate, 0.1%
• Worldwide deaths, 454,380 Mortality rate, 0.005%
• Confirmed infections in the United States, 2,191,200. Infection rate, 0.6%
• United States deaths, 118,435. 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.

 Peter Skurkiss posted the article, Dr. Amy Acton, architect of Ohio's shutdown, resigns, outlining this part of the coronavirus story, and "Operation Rescue call for her resignation after publishing an expose of her troubled past......"

He then goes on to question DeWine's choice of her for this job in the first place, and his continued support.  You're left to wonder what's wrong with DeWine, and more importantly, what's wrong with the Ohio Republican party and it's inability to find a Ronald Reagan in their midst?

Maybe it's time someone in that party should start looking for a Maggie Thatcher.
