US coronavirus infections just surpassed 1,000 as global death rate reaches 6% which is 60 times higher than the seasonal flu

Now that coronavirus testing is finally starting to get under way in the USA, coronavirus infection numbers are skyrocketing. Two weeks ago, I predicted that last week we would see, “tens of cases” of the coronavirus, followed by “dozens of cases” in the subsequent week. Over the next 2-3 weeks, I predicted we would see “hundreds of cases,” followed by thousands of cases in subsequent weeks.
It appears I was far too optimistic yet again.
The number of confirmed coronavirus infections in the USA has just surpassed 1,000 today, March 10th. And it will likely more than double over the next week. I’m convinced we already have more than 10,000 infections in the USA, and that testing is just starting to slowly catch up.
I realize that some skeptics out there are saying PCR virus testing is fake science. They claim that since PCR multiplies RNA fragments, it isn’t real. That’s like saying that since microscopes amplify light, bacteria don’t exist. One of the problems we have across the independent media today is that too many prominent writers don’t know basic science. So they deny that PCR replication followed by gene sequencing or analysis scanning is real, legitimate science. This is a tremendous problem when we’re dealing with a global pandemic, since a whole lot of people don’t know what to think for themselves, and they rely on information from others who really have zero familiarity with laboratory science, genetic testing or basic concepts of epidemiology.
Even worse, most humans aren’t wired to process exponential phenomena. So they don’t grasp the reality of things that are about happen, even after those things have already been set into motion. You hear this right now with people who claim, “It’s no worse than the flu.” Anyone saying that is openly admitting they are scientifically and mathematically illiterate. There’s no other way to describe it.
Right now, quite a large number of indy media followers are being misled by individuals who don’t know how PCR technology works, and that’s causing people to come to the false conclusion that this coronavirus pandemic is, in their minds, one grand global hoax of some kind that somehow managed to get Iran, Italy, South Korea and China signed up to fool the world for some unknown reason. It’s absurd.
This whole situation is worsened by the wholly discredited left-wing media now reporting on the coronavirus spread across the USA. Given that the media has lied about everything imaginable since Trump got elected, the pro-Trump public has learned to immediately reject anything reported by the mainstream media. Even if the media occasionally collides with a real event and manages to state something that isn’t false or stupid (Brian Williams, anyone?).
So when the New York Times publishes this map showing over 1,000 infections across America, many people immediately believe the map is a hoax, the virus is a hoax and that this whole epidemic is, “no worse than the flu.” They don’t even see the map. They just see the left-wing media trying to destroy Trump:
Many Trump supporters literally believe that Governors of left-leaning states are declaring emergencies just to try to hurt Trump. Here’s an actual comment from a reader of a story on The Epoch Times:
“All Democrat states on the east coast declare State of Emergency because the Governors are typical anti-Trump.”
So now, any action that a governor takes to try to rally local resources to fight the virus is reframed by Trump supporters as some sort of plot to embarrass Trump. Yeah, the tribalism has really gotten that stupid. I’ve even heard from people that Sanders and Biden are cancelling political events solely as a way to try to hurt Trump. That’s some really strong brainwashing right there, folks, when every event in the world is now filtered through the, “they’re trying to hurt Trump” view of the world.
Meanwhile, cases are exploding across America, even as Trump supporters claim none of this is happening
