COVID-19 turning out to be huge hoax perpetrated by media

via Washington Times.

When the postmortem is done on the media’s coverage of COVID-19 (and it will be), it will be clear that the virus was no Black Plague — it’s not even the flu on a bad year.

SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19, has killed 56,749 Americans as of Tuesday.

That’s not good. But it’s not as bad as the 2017-2018 flu season, when 80,000 -plus perished. And it’s a long cry from what all the experts were warning about just a few weeks ago: First, they predicted 1.7 million Americans dead; then they redid the models (this time apparently entering a few more “facts”) and said 100,000-240,000 dead.

Now, a major model relied on by the White House Coronavirus Task Force predicts about 70,000 dead by the end of August.

And for that we shut down the U.S. economy?!

Here. 

I simply ask you to do two things.

1.  Read the article.

2.  Think.

Apologies but I have one more thing to ask you.  Consider this.  The Spanish Flu killed (according to Wikipedia) between 17 and 50 million people worldwide.

At the end of this pandemic it appears (and yeah we might just be at the halfway point) less than half a million worldwide.

But yet we've wrecked the global economy?

Are we following science?  Not just medical but economic science?  I contend that as things now stand more people will die from our "preventative measures" than from the virus itself.

Will future generations think that we acted prudently or emotionally?
