Two quacks spreading false information?
I dont have cable, I do my own research.
The problem here on ATS is at has become an echo-chamber for alt-rigt conspiracies, no matter how stupid. The belief by many on here that this virus outbreak is a hoax is proof positive of this.
How is this possible?

if a patient dies of a heart attack but was also infected with Covid-19 then he / she died of Covid-19 , simple.
If a patient dies of a heart attack while playing basketball do we also say basketball was the cause of death? No the individuals pore health is the cause of death; basketball was simply the trigger of the heart attack that was waiting to happen.
Same is true for COVID-19 ... unless of course we are saying that COVID-19 is causing heart deterioration in a previouslly perfectly healthy heart.

If a significant portion of the population continues to believe this is a hoax, then we will not have it under control until herd immunity, if even possible happens and that will take years.

I am listening to the advice of doctors who are testing and treating the virus over some random youtube video or ATS poster claiming this is all a hoax.
COVID-19 was the leading cause of death in the US for the month of April, that tells me this virus is serious.

Just did a check to see if Trump was going to have a speech today. Curious if he was going to make any statements that the virus was intentionally created in Wuhan. I’m a little weary if these statements come, as they could escalate to WWIII.
Right off the bat, I noticed something on the site that wasn’t there the last time I checked. Here you go:
factba.se...
Notice the section at the top that gives the worlds infections as well as the United States.
Notice those numbers:
World: 3,593,627
US: 1,191,140
According to google the worlds population is 7.59 billion. Population of US is 328.2 million. This means that the US is about 4.3% of the worlds population. Yet SOMEHOW, we have a whopping 1/3 of the worlds total infections for this virus.
How is this possible?
I’ll tell you how. By fledging the numbers. Claiming every death is caused by Covid. Car crashes, suffocation, heart attacks, suicide, etc. You name it, they were all caused by Covid-19.
Lies beyond lies. What a bunch of BS.

Actually the models have been very accurate. We will likely see well over 100,000 deaths in the US, perhaps many more now that most of the country is going to open back up and we might see another wave of exponential growth.
As of right now there have been about 1.2 million cases with about 69,000 deaths in the US. That is about 6%....

The 1.2 million you are referencing are just those who have been tested. There have been multiple studies showing far more have the virus. Even Cuomo admitted something like 40% of New Yorkers have Covid already based on their studies.

Exactly. I’m begging for a test. I guarantee I’ve got the antibodies. Pretty sure I had it in late February.
If the world were to find out that at least 50%+ of us have been infected, with little to no symptoms — it would blow the lid off this panicdemic.
