    Flu deaths start in Oct. The first covid death in the US was on Feb 29, that's a five month head start. Covid ain't the flu

    CDC estimates between 39 million to 56 million infected
    estimates between 18 million to 26 million medical visits
    estimates between 410,000 to 740,000 hospitalizations
    And estimates between 24,00 to 62000 deaths.

    You're quoting the highest of an estimated range and adding 1,000 deaths.

    The CDC hasn't even finalized the numbers for 2018.

    More deaths, no benefit from malaria drug in VA virus study


    More deaths, no benefit from malaria drug in VA virus study

    A malaria drug widely touted by President Donald Trump for treating the new coronavirus showed no benefit in a large analysis of its use in U.S. veterans hospitals. There were more deaths among those given hydroxychloroquine versus standard care, researchers reported.

    The nationwide study was not a rigorous experiment. But with 368 patients, it’s the largest look so far of hydroxychloroquine with or without the antibiotic azithromycin for COVID-19, which has killed more than 171,000 people as of Tuesday.


    The study was posted on an online site for researchers and has been submitted to the New England Journal of Medicine, but has not been reviewed by other scientists. Grants from the National Institutes of Health and the University of Virginia paid for the work.
    Researchers analyzed medical records of 368 male veterans hospitalized with confirmed coronavirus infection at Veterans Health Administration medical centers who died or were discharged by April 11.

    About 28% who were given hydroxychloroquine plus usual care died, versus 11% of those getting routine care alone. About 22% of those getting the drug plus azithromycin died too, but the difference between that group and usual care was not considered large enough to rule out other factors that could have affected survival.

    Hydroxychloroquine made no difference in the need for a breathing machine, either.

    Researchers did not track side effects, but noted hints that hydroxychloroquine might have damaged other organs. The drug has long been known to have potentially serious side effects, including altering the heartbeat in a way that could lead to sudden death.

    As noted earlier in this thread, following President Trump's advise can be deadly to your health.

    Yep! When I saw CNBC, I knew it was going to be SKEWED!!! Hydroxychloroquine has been around for 70+ years!!! People in malaria prone countries take regular maintenance doses of it!!! Additionally I have heard that intravenous vitamin C works really well to counteract the oxidative stress!!!Latest on the Corona VirusLatest on the Corona Virus

    Tracking home isolation:

    Remember the extreme over the top world wide daconian removal of "cancer" causing asbestos building materials.
    The removal of asbestos from buildings was paramount,it allows satellite/drone infrared imagining to see human heat signatures inside buildings. Asbestos fibres absorb heat...

    How many people die from drunk driving compared to how many die from asbestos cancer... Yet there was a massive world wide campaign to remove "dangerouse life critical" asbestos.

    The website quoted is classic fake news website.

    Fake news site deliberately publish hoaxes and disinformation to drive web traffic inflamed by social media.[3][4][5] These sites are distinguished from news satire (which is humorous) as they mislead and sometimes profit from readers' gullibility.[4] While most fake news sites are portrayed to be spinoffs of other news sites, some of these websites are examples of website spoofing, structured to make visitors believe they are visiting trusted sources like ABC News or MSNBC.[6]The New York Times pointed out that within a strict definition, "fake news" on the Internet referred to a fictitious article which was fabricated with the deliberate motivation to defraud readers, generally with the goal of profiting through clickbait.[7] PolitiFact described fake news as fabricated content designed to fool readers and subsequently made viral through the Internet to crowds that increase its dissemination.[8]

    You are indeed gullible if you believe one word that this video pushes.
