The Osterholm guy in your video is a serious scientist on these issues. Here's another link of him that CNN posted just today:

 

https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/10/opinions/osterholm-coronavirus-interview-bergen/index.html

 

He doesn't go into these details in the CNN article. But in the above video starting at about 1 minute, 40 seconds, he estimates the likely death and hospitalizations toll of the CV in the U.S. during the coming 3-7 months:

 

--10 to 15 times worse than the seasonal influenza outbreaks

--48 million hospitalizations

--96 million infected

--more than 480,000 deaths

 

In the CNN piece, he gives the nod to N95 respirator masks over simple surgical (drugstore) masks:

 

 

He also rejects the argument that the arrival of summer in the U.S. will kill off the virus:

 

 

These are forecasts not facts. Lefties hate facts and love doomsday forecasts. Thats how co2 scam runs.

Here's a fact. 6.6% of confirmed cases of Covid 19 in Italy have died already. It is unknown if that mortality rate will rise or fall.

My attention has been drawn to this article by one of Trump's angry tweets. ????

IS TRUMP DOWNPLAYING THE CORONAVIRUS TO PROTECT HIS PROPERTIES FROM AN ECONOMIC HIT?

The Corona con job will be over in 3 or 4 months.

Con job?? Roads, heart disease and murder don't stop people from travelling; roads, heart disease and murder don't stop people from shopping or buying daily necessities to live on; roads, heart disease and murder don't stop people from attending sporting events and other activities, etc.  In 3 to 4 months let us know how you're doing during this so called con job..

As this crisis develops and the bodies mount up , and countries lockdown and come to  stop - a blind rage and fury , and a howl of anguish will catch fire and people demand to ask what did our leaders do to protect us, to help us in these , our darkest hours. Those that fail will face a wrath and fury unparalleled in peace time. The liars are on now on precious borrowed time until events engulf their monstrous untruths and sweep them forever from power. ????????

[UbonThani]

4 months prediction

Corona deaths 40,000.

 

Less than 10% of swine flu.

They're going to ask why on Earth didn't we do something about China's CCP before this mess? It's not like we didn't have warnings.

I think it's best to ignore the ostriches.  They're 100% unable to accept new information once they've been inoculated by their dear leader or favorite conspiracy theorist.  The correct information is readily available to them so let them do with it as they will.  The ignore list is very effective.

How about an actual prediction. If 60% of the population gets Corona Virus even if it has a mortality rate of just 1% you are talking about 46.2 million dead and 2 million dead in the U.S.

There is reason that people are making a big deal of this. It spreads easily. Many people who may have it would only think they have the common flu. Trump isn't doing anything to help that. He taunted Biden for cancelling rallies yesterday over this... Then today he cancelled his.

You mean a President that will continue to allow those revanchist murderous thugs that run China to continue their aggression without pushback?

 

Do you hate Trump that much that you will side with a dictatorship thats running concentration camps and harvesting organs?

 

This  disease "crisis" is the fault of China and despite their sycophants hollering otherwise, the world wont forget it.

I didn't say the Dems caused the collapse. I said that they are wanting the markets to collapse and hyping the covid threat.  Bill Mayer or whatever his name is said that what is needed to get rid of Trump is a recession.

Doesn’t excuse US foreign policies resulting in deaths. Reckless Trump’s Middle East policies caused civilian casualties in Iraq and Syria to soar. Is it not that the Aids epidemic from west origin that spread worldwide. Diseases have no borders and trying to lay blame to stress a point is irresponsible and thoughtless.

We arent talking about the US are we, even if its worth my time to respond to your childish trolling about Trump, which is ungrounded in reality.

 

 We are talking about China, who bred and spread this particular disease. The Wuhan Virus. The world knows, even if the apologists and sycophants and haters don't.

Trump late Wednesday canceled campaign events in Colorado, Nevada and Wisconsin as coronavirus infections spread across the country. The president had previously opted against halting his campaign tour as he tried to assure the nation that the outbreak wasn’t a catastrophic emergency.

Throw a punch but can’t take one. I don’t need to troll Trump. He is slipping and sliding each day from reality and so are his supporters. Each day humble pies have to be eaten for his false narratives and lies and made to walk back by facts and truths. Maybe you should too.

Not surprised with the comment of the CNN reader like you.

March 9, to Trump followers… ""So last year 37,000 Americans died from the common Flu. It averages between 27,000 and 70,000 per year. Nothing is shut down, life & the economy go on. At this moment there are 546 confirmed cases of CoronaVirus, with 22 deaths. Think about that!,""

Coronavirus forecasts are grim: ‘It’s going to get worse’

What happens in the weeks to come is likely to depend on how aggressively the United States acts to contain or slow the novel coronavirus, even at the cost of enormous social and economic disruptions. But what happens also will depend on the virus itself, a new pathogen that is still revealing its true nature.

...

A forecast produced last month by Professor James Lawler of the University of Nebraska Medical Center on behalf of the American Hospital Association, for example, put the potential death toll at hundreds of thousands if efforts to mitigate the epidemic fail.

...

 

 

 

 

Quote

 

In his Capitol Hill testimony, Fauci said that a plausible covid-19 fatality rate could be 1 percent. That, he said, is 10 times as lethal as seasonal influenza. He was clear: This is more dangerous than the flu.

 

“We must be much more serious as a country about what we might expect,” Fauci said.

I'm a skeptic always think corononsense is literally nonsense. But same could be said for:

Instead some trumpus bois find no problem bombarding China over it. So, instant karma
