What part of death do you not get? Most of those are people with a sniffle or cough. They’re death rate is a fraction of a percent. No different than the regular flu.

It’s been here. You probably already have it. Did you watch the video?

Hoax is the wrong word. It’s a real infection but not the Black Plague like it’s being portrayed.

Thinking this won’t make the virus go away. And it certainly won’t protect you.

I’m agreeing. I’m telling you that it is likely already in your body.

Recovered is a fake and an absolutely useless number.
People get tested, positive, symptoms aren’t severe, they go home and rest and get better. How in the living frick do you think they are keeping track of all those recoveries? They aren’t.
The recoveries are people that are Hospitalized (again most with multiple conditions) and are fortunate enough to make it out without developing VAP or HAP (Hospital/Ventilator acquired Pneumonia) and things spiraling out of control

Highly unlikely. If so, we’d have seen multiple nursing homes with clusters of infections in the end of last year, cruises with outbreaks and hospitals renting vents.

So it is considered normal for Italian to have to cart off their dead like that.
Probably pretty normal...
Around 1600 Italians died every day BEFORE the coronavirus AKA COVID-19 arrived in Italy
And there has been a gentile rise in Italy's death rate for a decade. C-19 doesn't seem to have skewed the numbers that much.
And the obvious question is, "how many deaths are being chalked up to the virus with questionable medical proof?"

Hey pal, if it’s a hoax how about you go volunteer down at a nola or nyc hospital without a mask and then report back next week.
I work in a hospital and I don’t wear a mask. Delivered some meds where two positive patients were with out a mask

There's no certainty of either of those outcomes.
The President seems to think both will be short-term.

Don’t depend on recovered/finished cases. If someone gets sent home to recover there is no update.
And that, is about as “to the point” as anything I’ve ever read regarding this outbreak. After being given instructions and meds by a doctor and sent home to recover, I have never been contacted by the doctor again to ask how I am doing. Therefore they don’t really know if you recovered or not, unless you contact them again to say you did not recover. This puts a lot into perspective. This data will almost always be missing from the whole picture.

Obviously not a hoax and I get your point.

Hoax probably isn't the right word, but given the second part of the quote I'd say he's inferring the overall severity of the situation is a hoax.
That is not what he said.

The need for quarantining our population that is not at risk of serious issue is a hoax. That’s what I mean. I’ll correct the title to make it more clear.

Just curious what is your source for this? It is my understanding people with even confirmed mild cases of this are being asked to self quarantine, with in home follow ups. Do you have personal or documented evidence that they are just sent home without any further correspondence?

If hospitals get overwhelmed with ICU patients then who tf is going to have time to call that guy with mild symptoms from last week?
