    Nor is it now, here in MN, unless hospitalized. When antibody test becomes available, then you can find out. Otherwise there is no proof to date that Covid 19 was present in the USA in December, 2019. Just speculation and conspiracy.

    there is now the blood test. Which is actually fast. Secondly, based on rate of infection of this virus, we no way had it going back farther than they've already speculated. Look how quickly we've got hospitals filling up already.
     
    Upinsmoke and PE_T Thank this.

    I couldn't get through it. It was all static when I tried to watch it. I guess you have to be wearing a tin foil hat to see what it shows.

    Perhaps people might want to look on youtube at the actual videos being uploaded by the doctors in those hospitals. That actually say it is much worse than what the government and media are saying.

    Really, if we take the anticipated number of infected by the time we are done, which is 80% of us. Then model that off the "range" of mortality rate. Which is as low as .25% to as high as 3% right now. Based on the CDC. That would mean by the time it is over, we could lose between 16-192 Million people to the virus. Where influenza only claims at most 650K a year. Now, granted, if the rate of infection is lower. The numbers would be lower. But even if half as much. That is minimum of 8 Million.

    My wife is a nurse. The reason medical centers are empty is because they've stopped all non-essential procedures and stopped allowing visitors to slow the spread. Stop with this HOAX NONSENSE, please.

    Also, the reason zinc works against illness (they think, per some reading I've done) is that it stops the virus from reproducing inside your body. So you'll get as sick as you are by the time you dose zinc, and stay about that sick for the remainder of the illness. I've tried it several times as illnesses have come on, and I believe I concur with this assessment.

    Now, whether it does anything for coronavirus, I of course have no idea.
