Corona bologna. That's really good. Especially if it is bologna made out of franken-CV-meat.


Corona Bologna: The Truth Begins to Leak Out in Italy...



The government of Italy, as everyone knows, has locked down the whole country of 60 million people. So how many Italians have died from COV? Even by the standards of the useless and misleading diagnostic tests?

Ready?

As far as the Italian Higher Institute of Health knows, at this point:

Maybe two.

Maybe.

Try to wrap your mind around that.

Good luck.

Seems the president of the Italian Higher Institute has some smarts. He understands that people who already have other serious health conditions, which have nothing to do with COV, can and do die from those other conditions, regardless of the fact that they've tested positive (on useless tests) for COV. He gets it. I predict a great future for him. If he keeps shooting his mouth off, he might find himself working as a weed puller in a forest. Or he might suddenly be diagnosed with the virus and find himself in isolation.


... or suicided.


Cool

The deaths by Corona are actually less than the ones caused by regular flu in the previous years.
So Elon Musk is right. You can just check the flu death stats for the past years and compare them with this year.

That's nonsense. Mortality rate seems higher than flu, and the R0 value that represents how contagious it is also seems higher. The main factor however is that there is no pre-existing immunity. This is why it is sweeping through whole populations; there is no brake from the people who are immune because they have had it before - no-one has had this before. And you can't compare death stats of covid-19 with prior year flu because the covid-19 pandemic is in progress right now, numbers will climb massively from current levels.


No, it's not a hoax. It's a respiratory illness that is now a pandemic. About 200k people have it (that is out of those that have been tested, I truly think this number is much higher) and people are dying of it.

The vast majority of people are losing money from this. The stock market is crumbling, bitcoin is crumbling, unsure on real estate, crude oil is crumbling in price (good for consumers, bad for investors) b/c of a trade war, there is a shortage of certain necessities around the world.

Even if a few people could make money here, this is horrible situation that no one is happy to be in right now.

Exactly. Economies are in major trouble. I suspect there will be huge waves of nationalisation of whole industries before this thing is done.

I don't know if I would go as far as nationalization of industries, though I do think certain government (unsure on if the US will go this far) on telling their industries that they desperately need them to make certain goods. This would kinda be like a war time economy, where the government is telling industry that they need certain goods made. In a war time it is more forecful, but who knows what will happen when we're in a time of chaos and panic and people need certain things.

We'll see what happens in the coming days. Going to get much worse before it gets better.

I don't think people will be buying things on e commerce sites on the situations like these and even some countries already having restrictions on overseas purchases until further notices so this is not for the profits of e commerce sites.

But it could be a profit for someone, but who is going to be?

But what's the reason for the hoax?
I think it is to harm the local businesses by forcing them to close, so that the big e-commerce sites can profit because the local shops are their competition.

To confirm this theory, just wait for the 1st quarter 2020 revenue reports by Alibaba, Amazon, eBay etc. and compare them with the 1st quarter 2019.
If you see a big increase in the 2020 , you have the evidence
