July 2020 update: we now know that 1) COVID probably arrived in the US many weeks earlier than originally reported; 2) the COVID infection rate may have proved 80 times higher and doubled nearly twice as fast as originally reported; 3) COVID “asymptomatic carriers” (healthy people) seem to rarely transmit the virus to others; and now 4) the US COVID mortality rate appears to be hovering at a very low .26 percent; with the 5) global COVID infection mortality rate for individuals under the age of 45 down near 0. 6) Reality check: Here’s a helpful “why we should not be concerned about increasing COVID-19 cases appearing in hospitals” POV from Texas, written by a medical professional who manages 13 emergency health clinics in the former Lone Star Republic. And US journalist Ben Swann explains why a “spike” in coronavirus cases is actually GOOD news when compared with the falling corona mortality rate.
