According to the general data, the coronavirus (Covid-19) has a surprisingly low impact on humans.
The estimated maximal number of H1N1 deaths were 570,000 from about 60 million.
Now corona has 25,274 to this day from 559,086 registered cases. This is roughly 4.5%, but only for the registered cases. Since many of the cases are unnoticed or untreated, the real number must be much lower, most likely around 1–0.1% or below.
While this is way above the H1N1 level, keep in mind that the regular flu kills roughly 5–600,000 people / year, each year.
It killed 80,000 American between 2017–2018.
Currently the USA has 1,317 deaths of corona, and it has an other flu at the same time, which has already been killed 10,000 people.
“The JAMA study said fatality rates also varied dramatically depending on the age of the individual. No deaths occurred in those 9 and younger, but cases in those aged 70 to 79 carried an 8% fatality rate, and those aged 80 years and older had a fatality rate of 14.8%. The fatality rate was 49% among critical cases, and elevated among those with pre-existing conditions to between 5.6% and 10.3%, depending on the condition.”
It is suspected that the coronavirus reached Italy between October and December last year. They registered unusually high cases with pneumonia and flu-like symptoms.
Sadly, the lack of accurate data doesn’t let us to calculate the impact with or without quarantine. It is possible that the unnoticed virus has caused the massive spread in Italy, among other factors, such as the relatively lower average personal hygiene, the older than the average population and the lower predisposition to obedience among Italian people.
The Italian death rate of flu is roughly 50% higher than in other developed nations. It is almost natural that Covid-19 has a bigger impact on them, correspondingly.
So why we are just stopped the whole economy for a virus which looks like a not bigger deal than what we got used to?
It is also believed that China has faked its coronavirus statistics, which is not a surprise, since commie regimes tend to fake everything.
They also say that China is spying on the people through the Huawei, but it is also believed that every phone spying on its users, and the government has access to almost any email address which is not a private server hiding on the deep-web, such as the secmail.pro for instance, which is only accessible by Tor-browser.
You can be tracked by your phone about 1 meter accuracy. This is not a conspiracy theory, the police using this feature every day in order to track criminals. Why do you think it is so important to give your details whenever you buy a sim card?
So the belief that the Huawei spying on the people, but other brands are not is completely ridiculous.
There is also a reason why most sites are rejecting the registration through Tor-browser: they can localize you through your IP address, what Tor makes almost impossible to do so.
The Google search engine logs everything you have searched ever on it. But it can’t track what are you doing on sites you click on. So they invented the Google-Chrome, which is now can spy on you even if you don’t use the search engine.
But that’s still amateur, since they still don’t know where you are, what do you say and what do you write. So if you wonder why many Android giveaways if you make a long-term contract with the provider, and why the services becoming more and more cheaper, this is the reason: your data worth more than anything.
They can use it for tracking possible election outcomes, to sell you stuff and to make the job of the police / FBI so much easier.
So claiming that the Chinese is spying on the world is ridiculous, as the world already spying on its own people.
Meanwhile the 1 million dollar question is how can the stock market rise when there are very little activity, but a massive uncertainty?

In our recent, post we discussed that gold is a very good indicator of the economical well-being of a nation. If the price of gold is high, this means the economy performs badly, and the people rather invest in gold, than real estate or other assets.
(Daily chart of gold)
As we can see, both performs roughly the same way, which according to our theory, is impossible. So one of them must be fake, right?
It takes a huge capability of imagination that an economy which has been shot down, is somehow rising its value, so we know that the DOW is either rising because of the bottom hunters, or because of the bailouts, which is nothing, but an artificial stimulus which could destroy the dollar completely.
Why is it so important? Because the other claim is that China faking the Covid-19 data.
While it seems that the reaction of the virus way to over-exaggerated, one of the possible conclusion we can draw is that the official infection / death statistics are completely fake, and we facing a much bigger problem than what they have been told us.
The other explanation is even worse: they deliberately destroy capitalism by destroying the currency, and they kick us back to the dark-age. Not only to communism, but downright feudalism.
Or maybe this is not communism, but fascist-socialism:
“(…) But it’s the alphabet soup of new programs that deserve special consideration, as they could have profound long-term consequences for the functioning of the Fed and the allocation of capital in financial markets. Specifically, these are:
CPFF (Commercial Paper Funding Facility) – buying commercial paper from the issuer. PMCCF (Primary Market Corporate Credit Facility) – buying corporate bonds from the issuer. TALF (Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility) – funding backstop for asset-backed securities. SMCCF (Secondary Market Corporate Credit Facility) – buying corporate bonds and bond ETFs in the secondary market. MSBLP (Main Street Business Lending Program) – Details are to come, but it will lend to eligible small and medium-size businesses, complementing efforts by the Small Business Association.
To put it bluntly, the Fed isn’t allowed to do any of this. The central bank is only allowed to purchase or lend against securities that have government guarantee. This includes Treasury securities, agency mortgage-backed securities and the debt issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. An argument can be made that can also include municipal securities, but nothing in the laundry list above.
So how can they do this? The Fed will finance a special purpose vehicle (SPV) for each acronym to conduct these operations. The Treasury, using the Exchange Stabilization Fund, will make an equity investment in each SPV and be in a “first loss” position. What does this mean? In essence, the Treasury, not the Fed, is buying all these securities and backstopping of loans; the Fed is acting as banker and providing financing. The Fed hired BlackRock Inc. to purchase these securities and handle the administration of the SPVs on behalf of the owner, the Treasury.
In other words, the federal government is nationalizing large swaths of the financial markets. The Fed is providing the money to do it. BlackRock will be doing the trades.
This scheme essentially merges the Fed and Treasury into one organization. So, meet your new Fed chairman, Donald J. Trump.”
The Fed's Cure Risks Being Worse Than the Disease
I guess every one of us knows that Trump is often accused of being fascist. Now looks like it is entirely true. He is just as fascist as every socialist and democrat: to their core.
Since the Republicans most likely going to accept the bailout plan, you can forget that they have anything to do with being capitalistic. I keep saying that all government are socialistic by their very own nature. So it is not as if you had a chance to vote for capitalism, but at least now you know officially that you can vote only for democrats / socialists.
Congratulation America and the rest of the world!
