The coronavirus COVID-19 has exploed in Italy. On Friday, there were 41,035 confirmed cases in the nayion of about 60 million, with more than 3,400 deaths.

The mainstream media in the United States has breathlessly reported that the death toll there means the virus is far more dangerous than has been reported.

But a new study made a stunning finding: 99% of coronavirus deaths in Italy were of patients with existing medical problems, which all doctors say makes people more prone to adverse effects from the virus.

“Research into 355 deaths found that only three of the victims, 0.8 per cent, had been clear of illnesses before they were infected,” The Daily Mail reported. “Nearly half of them – 48.5 per cent – already had three or even more health conditions before they were diagnosed with Covid-19. Another 25.6 per cent had two other ‘pathologies’, while 25.1 per cent had one.”

The research by Italy’s National Institute of Health is consistent with previous findings that people with existing illnesses are more likely to die from coronavirus.

According to the study, the most common of these problems in Italy include high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes.

Some 76.1 per cent of the patients who died of Covid-19 had previously had problems with high arterial blood pressure, the study found.

More than a third – 35.5 per cent – had diabetes, while 33.0 per cent had suffered from ischemic heart disease.

The study also found that the average age of those who died from the virus in Italy was 79.5, and slightly higher for women.

That is also consistent with previous findings from around the world that older people are more vulnerable to the disease. But it’s unclear why it ravaged Italy, which has the second-oldest population in the world, while leaving Japan, which is No. 1, relatively unscathed.

Mortality Rate of Coronavirus in US Slips to 1.25% in KNOWN CASES – Far Below Fraudulent Number by WHO — Looks Like HUGE MISCALCULATION!
Jim Hoft by Jim Hoft March 20, 2020

The mortality rate for the coronavirus in the US continues to fall as more and more Americans are able to be tested.
12 days ago the US coronavirus mortality rate was 4.06
Today the mortality rate is down to 1.25%!
4.06% March 8 (22 deaths of 541 cases)
3.69% March 9 (26 of 704)
3.01% March 10 (30 of 994)
2.95% March 11 (38 of 1,295)
2.52% March 12 (42 of 1,695)
2.27% March 13 (49 of 2,247)
1.93% March 14 (57 of 2,954)
1.84% March 15 (68 of 3,680)
1.6% March 17 (116 of 7,301)
1.4% March 19 (161 of 11,329)
1.25% March 20 (237 of 18,845)

Yossi Getetner posted a list earlier in the week.

Thanks to the fraudulent numbers by the WHO the global economies are in a complete meltdown.

Now, after several days of testing, the numbers are starting to look more and more like what you would expect from a harsh flu season.

PERSPECTIVE:
** The 1918 Spanish Flu Pandemic killed 675,000 out of US population of 103,268,000 or about — 1 in 200
** The 2020 Coronavirus has killed 218 (so far) out of a population of 333,546,000 or less than — 1 in a million

As we have reported several times now — the Director of the World Health Organization created an international panic when he miscalculated the coronavirus mortality rate at 3.4%.

The controversial Ethiopian politician and Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, claimed in a press conference in early March that the fatality rate for the coronavirus was many multiples that of the fatality rate of the common flu.
This egregiously false premise has led to the greatest economic panic in world history.
The Director General of the WHO spoke on March 3, 2020 and shared this related to the coronavirus:

While many people globally have built up immunity to seasonal flu strains, COVID-19 is a new virus to which no one has immunity. That means more people are susceptible to infection, and some will suffer severe disease.

Globally, about 3.4% of reported COVID-19 cases have died. By comparison, seasonal flu generally kills far fewer than 1% of those infected.

Here is the video of Dr. Ghebreyesus’s remarks.

This statement led to the greatest panic in world history as the global elite media shared and repeated that the coronavirus was many, many times more deadly than the common flu.

The problem is his statement is false.
It was not accurate!

STUNNING!… Via the CDC… As of Friday There Are 100 TIMES AS MANY Flu Deaths in US this Season than Coronavirus Deaths

And the numbers last week estimated there were 22,000 flu deaths this year.

As we have reported several times now — the Director of the World Health Organization created an international panic when he miscalculated the coronavirus mortality rate at 3.4%.

As The Gateway Pundit reported Monday, the coronavirus mortality rate reported by the media as stated by Dr. Ghebreyesus is completely inaccurate.

He overstated the coronavirus mortality rate. You can read more on that here.

Here’s a summary of the analysis updated with today’s latest numbers proving the Director General’s statement was very misleading and materially false:

The flu numbers have jumped up significantly this week!

According to the weekly CDC flu report — flu deaths are up by 1,000 over last week.
And according to the global coronavirus trackers US coronavirus deaths are up by 218 this week.

As of today — Friday March 20, 2020, there are 100 times more flu deaths this season than coronavirus deaths!
** 230 coronavirus deaths
** 23,000 flu deaths
The American public is being misled by our elites.

Are you guys getting a clue yet as to what is really happening?

HOOOOOOOOOOAX!

[Amanda]

The guy who they say died of the virus in NJ, was 69 and in very bad health. He had hypertension, atrial fibrillation, diabetes, emphysema, and a GI condition that caused him to bleed internally, but they want me to believe the virus took him out--sorry not buying it.

@EE--did you the vids I posted on the intel thread? the guy was reading from their covid response team documents and it seemed like they were saying this is going to go on for 18 months until a vaccine comes available. And I even saw a msn story saying US plans for pandemic for 18 months (???)

My personal take is that some elderly are simply dying b/c they are older or have other health problems, and they are claiming that it was the virus.

Sorry, I'm really, not trying to argue with people here, so we'll just have to agree to disagree. I just don't believe anything from the MSM or the US govt--they have lied about everything over the course of my lifetime. There is literally NOTHING that they have told the truth about, so why should I believe them now.

[Down1]

Quite clearly they want Nationalist types to believe it is a hoax and not change their behavior so they get infected and maybe taken down for good.

Not a hoax.

[EE_]

Do you guys remember when I said, if the deep state criminals ever get close to being taken down, they would do anything to keep from being caught, even nuking a city.
The deep state literally reaches around the world, it's massive. It looks like to me a nuking a city was not enough for them...they have nuked the whole damn world!
Being tried for treason is not an option.

I find it very fascinating that you ONLY cite a SINGLE SOURCE for your 'evidence', i.e. gatewaypundit.com (gee, maybe they have an agenda since they're apparently extremely biased and unable to view the situation OBJECTIVELY therefore highly suspect). Whereas those of us who don't think it's a hoax post various and sundry sources that there's an actual extremely dangerous bio-engineered bio-weapon killing people and swamping the health care systems of many countries. AS IF Iran would play along with a hoax. lol

[Cebu_4_2]

AS IF Iran would play along with a hoax. lol

As if it would be allowed to come mainstream?

I didn't think you would like the the gateway pundit, it's a conservative news site that sources articles from different places. You should try the Huffington Post, NPR or CNN, it might be more to your liking. Lots of good articles there that drive hysteria and panic.

[midnight rambler]

Generally I like the gatewaypundit.com however in this instance they've kicked back and started smoking crack. I gather you smoke crack as well...?

This demonstrates your character and your complete inability to assess others despite an abundance of information and come to accurate, logical conclusions, as in mentally challenged.

[BrewTech]

Well, at least the globalists can't accuse GSUS as being an "echo chamber".

We got some SERIOUSLY divergent viewpoints going on!

We rock as a TRUE discussion forum! (as small as we are)

One could add "having a flu shot" to the list of illnesses that make the virus more dangerous:

NCBI: Influenza vaccination and respiratory virus interference among Department of Defense personnel during the 2017-2018 influenza season. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31607599)

Wolff GG1.

Abstract
PURPOSE:
Receiving influenza vaccination may increase the risk of other respiratory viruses, a phenomenon known as virus interference...

CONCLUSIONS:
Receipt of influenza vaccination was not associated with virus interference among our population. Examining virus interference by specific respiratory viruses showed mixed results. Vaccine derived virus interference was significantly associated with coronavirus and human metapneumovirus; however, significant protection with vaccination was associated not only with most influenza viruses, but also parainfluenza, RSV, and non-influenza virus coinfections.
