Don’t buy the media hype over the new China virus



A CNN reporter broadcasts from Wuhan, China, on the recent viral outbreak. There is nobody near who could possibly infect him ­— unless the cameraman has Guinness Book of Records coughs and sneezes. So why does he insist on wearing a blue surgical mask while talking? It’s called “drama,” which is badly needed, because there appears to be nothing very special about this outbreak of the 2019-nCoV or Wuhan ­virus.

 It should actually be called the DvV, or Déjà vu Virus, because we have been through these hysterias before. Over and over. Heterosexual AIDS, Ebola repeatedly, the H1N1 swine flu that was actually vastly milder than the regular flu and, especially, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in 2003. Once you start debunking mass hysteria over outbreaks, it gets easy, because the same patterns repeat themselves. 

 The best remedy for all epidemic hysteria is perspective. How is this new outbreak different and thus potentially more dangerous from other diseases we have dealt with in the past or are dealing with now? Wuhan is repeatedly labeled “deadly” — but so is every other ­virus most people know about. But especially deadly? 

Nearly 600 cases have been confirmed with at least 17 reported deaths. An infected American is reportedly doing well. It’s probably true that the death toll is understated, but it’s guaranteed the infection number is. Probably as with, say, flu, the vast majority of those infected have such slight symptoms, they don’t seek medical attention. For that reason, a comparison to the US flu death rate is also very difficult. As a share of hospitalizations, the regular flu death rate is 8.5 percent to 17 percent, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — considerably higher than for Wuhan. 

But counting all ­estimated illnesses, reported and estimated, it’s much lower. What we can say for sure is that Wuhan will be a lot worse in China, simply because health care there is vastly inferior. It appears that, like flu, Wuhan usually kills through ­often treatable secondary infections. Well, treatable in the West. You’d be surprised at how many potentially deadly diseases ­(malaria, TB) Americans get that wreak havoc in much of the world but kill essentially none of us.

Scorpio- Thanks for this!

More here on how the media covered the swine flu hoax of 2009:

https://blog.nomorefakenews.com/2020/01/28/facebook-twitter-google-hide-china-epidemic-misinformation/

...revisit another epidemic: 2009 Swine Flu—in order to correct the record. At that time, conspirators prevented accurate information from reaching the public. Instead, lunatic ideas about the epidemic were allowed to stand. A precedent was firmly established for future reporting about “outbreaks.”

The conspirators had somehow infiltrated a news organization at high levels, and they began floating lie after lie. This was a monstrously egregious situation. The public was unaware.

I have uncovered a solidly credible witness who observed this seedy operation. She was an employee of the news organization. In fact, she was a star investigative reporter for CBS News. Her words carry weight.

Her name is Sharyl Attkisson. I interviewed her. Facebook, Google, take notice, and swiftly elevate her words to the top of your news feeds and rankings.

Q: In 2009, you spearheaded coverage of the so-called Swine Flu pandemic. You discovered that, in the summer of 2009, the Centers for Disease Control, ignoring their federal mandate, [secretly] stopped counting Swine Flu cases in America. Yet they continued to stir up fear about the “pandemic,” without having any real measure of its impact. Wasn’t that another investigation of yours that was shut down? Wasn’t there more to find out?

A: The implications of the story were even worse than that. We discovered through our FOI efforts that before the CDC mysteriously stopped counting Swine Flu cases, they had learned that almost none of the cases they had counted as Swine Flu was, in fact, Swine Flu or any sort of flu at all! The interest in the story [written by Attkisson and published on the CBS News site] from one [CBS] executive was very enthusiastic. He said it was “the most original story” he’d seen on the whole Swine Flu epidemic. But others pushed to stop it and, in the end, no [CBS News television] broadcast wanted to touch it. We aired numerous stories pumping up the idea of an epidemic, but not the one that would shed original, new light on all the hype. It was fair, accurate, legally approved and a heck of a story. With the CDC keeping the true Swine Flu stats secret, it meant that many in the public took and gave their children an experimental vaccine that may not have been necessary.

ROFL @ that ridiculous article.

The only people freaking out about this virus is Rense, Darth Vader and their friend Lindsey. lol

Seriously though. I don't waste my time and energy trying to convince people that there is nothing there. They watch TV and freak out. Let them!

Amanda said...

ZioHedge has also been pushing the story, and the comments are full of hysteria

If it is bad, THAT is the best way to spread it....moving people around various countries.

All of a sudden, the Elite/govs. are worried about the rest of us. They're panicking the "herd" to run in a certain direction, run a gauntlet. Waving blankets and yelling, to prevent the "goy" from thinking. I think it's, also, to cover up news of what's REALLY going on, in other countries. To distract us, "Look there!..not here."

Scorpio said...

@Nona - good points. Also, how many of these 'pandemics' have we already been through in the last 15 years or so...
None of them amounted to diddly-squat.

Amanda said...

@Nona

Following up on your point about how it's also "to cover up news of what's really going on...to distract us, look here, not there," I've been wondering if has to do with distracting us from what's going on with the Fed and that Repo market (I'm not from a financial background, but I've been listening to a number of people talking about a crisis in the Repo market, and how the Fed has been printing a ton from keeping things from collapsing, and how the Fed is now boxed in and can't stop printing, otherwise it will collapse and we get "Mad Max")

And I've recently started listening to Greg Mannarino,and his take on this (at least on how it's being used), is that they can/will use this as a cover story if things start collapsing, so nobody looks at what the banks have been doing. Zerohedge has been having tons of stories on the virus (really pushing it hard, just like rense), but on one of them that was pushing how the virus could destroy the economy, one of the commenters said this:

"yeah, right...nothing to do with massive over-leveraging, stock buybacks, fed liquidity injections and a collapsing real economy they never report on."

KnownUnknown said...

Here's my thoughts on the Fed Amanda, take it as you will:

In our economy all that matters is the ever growing amounts of liquid instruments and as long as someone, anyone, buys those instruments (so the derivatives like repos) they can continue to be priced on the books and all the made up quant maths will hold up.

The Fed is bending over backwards for Trump who will absolutely keep pumping money into assets and f#cking over the middle class. No crash this year and markets will keep going up!

That's why it blows my mind that Stadtmiller still thinks Trump will take on the Fed next term. It will never ever happen - they'll print even more in his second term. We'll finally get inflation which will actually be good to pay down debts

Amanda said...

@knownunknown-
Yes, that seems to be what Greg Mannarino has been saying--says stocks will keep going up b/c of the Fed printing. He also says same thing on Middle class--will be completely destroyed (heading for neofeudalism). Says Trump is basically in on it with the central bank b/c he keeps calling for lower to negative rates.

Interesting that Stadtmiller thinks Trump will take on the Fed (I haven't listened to Stadtmiller in years). Dave @x22 report (total Q shill, trump shill) has been pushing that BS for forever (Trump will take on the Fed). Mannarino calls BS on that--says Trump is the best friend the bankers ever had--Trump is on their team, a puppet for the bankers, destroying the middle class,and NOT for the people (despite what the talking heads on Fox say).

KnownUnkown "That's why it blows my mind that Stadtmiller still thinks Trump will take on the Fed next term. It will never ever happen - they'll print even more in his second term. "

Yes, pure patriotard fantasy.

Nona said...



To reply: Yes, they'll print more greenbacks,but there's no actual metal backing.
It's always been false money.

They/Fed Reserve/"Chosen" want us to think that it's OUR debt. But it's NOT. We didn't sign in for it.

Still and all, when it all falls thru, and even now, there's towns in the U.S. and Eur. that already have a valid currency. It's legal, if it's in the area, and adult citizens accept it. It works, because this currency is based on WORK HOURS, on the citizen's donating their work.

Citizens can also use Trade and Services.

In this, people can use/contribute what they know, their skills, be they humble, and tutor others and receive teachings of all skills you can imagine. Be it cleaning, cooking, dishwashing, laundrying, sewing, child care, singing, plumbing,
repair work, roofing, acting, carpentry, builders, First Aid, tailoring, weaving,
teaching music notes, metalwork, papermaking, farmwork, animal husbrandry, brickmaking (that's fairly easy), tooling, Hygiene midwifery, Guard details, and so many other skills.

All of these can be traded and taught to others.

Thank God, tehre are still skilled tradesmen and artisans, alive!
