EXCELLENT POST, sir.

You ARE spot on!!!! The population growth problem UNDERLIES all US and world problems. It causes Global Warming. It causes starvation in the Muslim middle east and Northern Africa, whose people migrate northward and have caused problems for a stable Germany and other northern European countries. It promotes PLAGUES like our current CV plague! The US faces the problems of illegal alien migration caused by overpopulation. - A.I. and Robotics could cause future permanent unemployment of 30%. Society is going to be in turmoil for the foreseeable future.

I will remember this Florida prediction and get back about that in 2 or 3 weeks.

I was thinking that myself. I am sssooo glad that someone had the goob-smackers to write it.

There are none so blind as those who WILL NOT SEE.

You forgot to mention one thing, we knew it was coming and already had a vaccine ready when it got to the US shores.

True about, " not calling CV a hoax". Kudos. True about nursing homes being a area that spreads CV and needs special attention. Children are more "spreaders" than they are victims of CV. That much is true of ALL statements made today. Keep up the sterling work.

Roger that, Townee.

First, we could have taken this seriously as early as late January, certainly early February when our intelligence community was doing so. Actually WHO had sent out the first, that i know of, reports to all members through the world as early as January 10.

Why down play it ?

You must understand the differences between 1957 and this year. In 1957, despite the many philosophical differences throughout the world, medicine was never made anything other than a threat to human beings. It had not much impact on P motives or aspirations. Scientists throughout the world talked to each other and shared information with no interference.

Today, and throughout this pandemic, we have failed on every level. Heads of state(s) deciding to interfere with real scientific data, research and suggestions for whatever reason.

This Corona virus has been full of overtones from the beginnings.

I offer a suggestion to try to THINKGLOBALHEALTH for information, and lots of pics addressing the who, what, where and when of this and other pandemics. I am not supplying the link since it "may" inadvertently take you to a page not allowed on here although that is NOT the nature of the site

I admitt to being old and feeble! Too old to read graphs (like comparing US cases and deaths to European countries). I can BARELY see the graphs with my 20-1000 vision. So I just listen to old audio tapes by Dr. Spock on Star Trek.

So many posters here with their own agenda. And a lot of misinformation. Herd immunity is not real?? It's a long standing medical science fact that diseases tend to die out when herd immunity is reached. Hundreds of "medical professionals" want the country shut down again?? Well about 125 people with a connection to medicine did ask that. Dr. Fauci, in response said that would be a mistake.

The facts have no agenda, they are just the facts. The OP is a good researcher and has presented well thought out posts. Stop with the criticism already. If you don't agree, post research to back up your point, not opinion.

The OP has NEVER said the virus is fake, a ruse, nor said anything about not wearing masks. To the contrary, he has been very consistent in his views about this virus, that it is deadly and we should take common sense precautions like wearing masks and social distancing. What the OP HAS said and posted are data points regarding the true state of this virus.

I had the Asian Flu in 1957 and was hospitalized for 5 days because I couldn't shake my 104 degree fever. Sickest I've ever been in my life.

I take this disease seriously and wear a mask when in stores or crowds (which I avoid), carry sanitizer wherever I go, and wash my hands when I come back from a store. But I will not let this virus prevent me from living life.

March is when the earliest cases were recognized in U.S. Before that was confusion world wide as to what exactly was happening. It was in February when people sickened and began to die in droves in Italy.

I think that not only public health but valid expert doctors and researchers in hospitals in the U.S. should be part of a team of experts that guide us. People do not have to work for the government to be expert on vaccines and communicable diseases. At the time of the Ebola outbreak, The U.S. went without a surgeon general for the better part of two years. It was Vanderbilt's physicians that guided us in the Ebola outbreak. Some members of the staff died in a hospital in Texas before that happened. It is unrealistic to blame people now when no one could have known how bad this would be.

Oh my, the sky is falling!
Everyone has an opinion. One person on here is decent enough to give us REAL stats so that the rest of us do not need to speculate, and his motive is questioned.
In my opinion, he is merely providing information so that it will put many minds at ease as to exactly how much one needs to worry. In my opinion, you do what you feel you need to do to protect you and yours, and quit worrying what everyone else is doing. Just because one person has an opinion, does not mean that your opinion needs to demand that others conform to your standards. Best way to avoid the virus (in my opinion) is to stay home and accept no visitors. If you wander around in public, it is ONLY your fault if you become infected, not anyone else's that you feel is not protecting you enough.
I enjoy the OP's sharing of his information. I look forward to it. If you do not agree with it, then provide your own counter information.
Personally, I want three facts which will make it very easy to modify my current lifestyle.
I want to know how many COVID 19 hospitalizations in the Sumter Co. portion of the Villages.
I want to know how many related deaths that were CAUSED by COVID 19 in the Villages portion of the Villages.
I want to know how many of the hospitalizations have survived and have been released.

The number of positive tests for infection means nothing unless you test everyone in an area on the same day. EVERYONE. Testing a hundred one day and a thousand on another day and saying that there were more testing positive on the second day is not even scientific.

I believe that this virus has been around a lot longer than just since March. I believe it has been around at least since sometime last year and no one has realized it until this year. Since most folks that die from it have some other health issues, I believe that many have died from it and it was deemed death by the chronic condition. This is my opinion, and I will predict that when this is all over and more investigation is done, we will find out that the reason it is so widespread in such a short period of time, is that it was already here. Just my speculation, of course.

It is also my opinion that mass hysteria helps no one. I am not suggesting that anyone ignore the world situation, but running amok and crying that the sky is falling is not going to make you any healthier or prevent the outcome one bit. However, you may end up with stress related illness.

I totally agree with you!!

This one is far worse and the 1957 swine flu was terrible
