The real pandemic regarding The Coronavirus is the panic being induced by Democrats. This is a fairly benign virus with a low mortality rate, but if you believe The Democrat’s rhetoric, you would think its The Black Plague all over again. Both Schumer and Pelosi made statements intending to cause a panic among the general public stating that President Trump wasn’t allocating enough tax payer money to combat the disease.
According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) in the United States the top leading cause of death in 2019 in the USA are as follows:
- Heart disease: 647,457
- Cancer: 599,108
- Accidents (unintentional injuries): 169,936
- Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 160,201
- Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 146,383
- Alzheimer’s disease: 121,404
- Diabetes: 83,564
- Influenza and pneumonia: 55,672
- Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and nephrosis: 50,633
- Intentional self-harm (suicide): 47,173
- Gun Deaths 15,292
To date, one person has died from the coronavirus in the United States. So we really need to keep things in prospective.
Worldwide there are 85,000 cases, but the U.S. has only 60 cases. These 60 cases, I believe, are a result of those who have either been brought here for treatment, or travelled here before the travel restriction from China.
Does anyone besides myself, notice that the countries with the worst outbreaks are the ones with socialized medicine?
