thegatewaypundit--2020-03-16--WAYNE ALLYN ROOT: I’m Betting on America. Are You?

WAYNE ALLYN ROOT : I ’ m Betting on America .
Are You ?
I ’ m the ultimate positive thinker .
I ’ m also very cynical .
You can be both .
My favorite saying is , “ Expect the best , prepare for the worst.
” So , I ’ m going to give you both sides of the Coronavirus story .
Let ’ s start with the bad .
This is the worst mess of our lifetimes .
The economy is hanging by a thread .
Stocks are savaged .
Small business is wrecked .
Millions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ jobs .
My beloved Vegas is ( for the moment ) down for the count .
And I haven ’ t even gotten to the health crisis yet .
All of this happened because of a virus that has barely even arrived .
Here ’ s the problem .
I have many great friends and guests on my national TV and radio shows who are medical experts .
Half believe this is the “ pandemic to end all pandemics.
” They quote CDC models that report as many as 1.7 million Americans could @ @ @ @ @ @ @ scared out of their minds .
American business is shutting down .
But the other half of my medical friends and expert guests say this is a great exaggeration and overreaction .
They predict less Americans will die than the flu season of 2017-2018 that killed about 80,000 .
They don ’ t believe we needed to close down American business and lock ourselves in our homes .
The problem is we won ’ t know who ’ s right until it ’ s over .
So , I have preached on my @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to attack this with everything he ’ s got .
Not just the looming healthcare crisis .
But also , the financial crisis .
When all is said and done , we will need a 21stcentury version of “ The Marshall Plan ” to save America ’ s economy .
We ’ ll need to rescue small business , their employees , those sick with Coronavirus , tourism , airlines , Vegas and all the rest , with a trillion-dollar rescue plan .
No choice .
Now I want to brighten your day @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you ’ re hearing only worst-case scenarios .
First , if you ’ re a Trump supporter , the left thinks Trump is finished .
Not so fast .
The latest Rasmussen poll has him at 49 % .
That ’ s up several points , smack dab in the middle of the stock crash and Coronovirus crisis .
And in Iowa , Trump is beating both Biden and Sanders by double digits .
So , I ’ m betting Trump will be just fine .
Now to Coronavirus .
First , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up to 1.7 million Americans .
Are you aware this same government agency projected Ebola could infect over 1 million in Africa ?
It wound up affecting under 30,000 .
Why are we letting government bureaucrats scare us to death ?
Could they be badly wrong ?
Second , no one seems able to explain something to me .
Italy is a country of 60 million with a terrible 3rdworld healthcare system .
They have 1,000 dead .
The pandemic is raging .
Let ’ s say in the end 3,000 die .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ of 330 million with the finest healthcare system in the world , and the finest doctors .
Why would America ’ s results be worse than Italy ?
And even if the results are similar , multiply 3,000 dead by five ( because our population is five times bigger ) .
That ’ s 15,000 dead in the USA from Coronavirus .
That ’ s far lower than the 80,000 Americans who just died from the flu a year ago .
Why is America going to have 1.7 million dead ?
Can anyone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ far , no one can .
Lastly , some are reporting death rates much higher than the flu .
Is it possible millions already have Coronavirus , but it ’ s mild and they ‘ ve chosen not to tell anyone they have it ?
So , the death rate only applies to those so deathly ill they went to the hospital ?
Perhaps the death rate is vastly overcounted .
I ’ m betting on America .
I ’ m hoping for the best and prepared for the worst .

I’m the ultimate positive thinker. I’m also very cynical. You can be both. My favorite saying is, “Expect the best, prepare for the worst.”
So, I’m going to give you both sides of the Coronavirus story.
Let’s start with the bad. This is the worst mess of our lifetimes. The economy is hanging by a thread. Stocks are savaged. Small business is wrecked. Millions of Americans are about to lose their jobs. My beloved Vegas is (for the moment) down for the count. And I haven’t even gotten to the health crisis yet.
All of this happened because of a virus that has barely even arrived. Here’s the problem. I have many great friends and guests on my national TV and radio shows who are medical experts. Half believe this is the “pandemic to end all pandemics.” They quote CDC models that report as many as 1.7 million Americans could die. So, people are rightfully scared out of their minds. American business is shutting down.
But the other half of my medical friends and expert guests say this is a great exaggeration and overreaction. They predict less Americans will die than the flu season of 2017-2018 that killed about 80,000. They don’t believe we needed to close down American business and lock ourselves in our homes.
The problem is we won’t know who’s right until it’s over.
So, I have preached on my TV and radio shows for President Trump to attack this with everything he’s got. Not just the looming healthcare crisis. But also, the financial crisis. When all is said and done, we will need a 21stcentury version of “The Marshall Plan” to save America’s economy. We’ll need to rescue small business, their employees, those sick with Coronavirus, tourism, airlines, Vegas and all the rest, with a trillion-dollar rescue plan. No choice.
Now I want to brighten your day just a bit. Because I believe you’re hearing only worst-case scenarios.
First, if you’re a Trump supporter, the left thinks Trump is finished. Not so fast. The latest Rasmussen poll has him at 49%. That’s up several points, smack dab in the middle of the stock crash and Coronovirus crisis. And in Iowa, Trump is beating both Biden and Sanders by double digits. So, I’m betting Trump will be just fine.
Now to Coronavirus. First, the CDC reports that this virus could kill up to 1.7 million Americans. Are you aware this same government agency projected Ebola could infect over 1 million in Africa? It wound up affecting under 30,000. Why are we letting government bureaucrats scare us to death? Could they be badly wrong?
Second, no one seems able to explain something to me. Italy is a country of 60 million with a terrible 3rdworld healthcare system. They have 1,000 dead. The pandemic is raging. Let’s say in the end 3,000 die. Now it hits America, a country of 330 million with the finest healthcare system in the world, and the finest doctors. Why would America’s results be worse than Italy?
And even if the results are similar, multiply 3,000 dead by five (because our population is five times bigger). That’s 15,000 dead in the USA from Coronavirus. That’s far lower than the 80,000 Americans who just died from the flu a year ago. Why is America going to have 1.7 million dead? Can anyone explain that projection to me? So far, no one can.
Lastly, some are reporting death rates much higher than the flu. Is it possible millions already have Coronavirus, but it’s mild and they‘ve chosen not to tell anyone they have it? So, the death rate only applies to those so deathly ill they went to the hospital? Perhaps the death rate is vastly overcounted.
I’m betting on America. I’m hoping for the best and prepared for the worst. You should be too.

The White House has cancelled the annual Easter Egg Roll event over concerns about the coronavirus pandemic.
The holiday event has taken place in the White House South Lawn for 140 years.
“The health and safety of all Americans must be the first priority, especially right now,” First Lady Melania Trump said in a statement on Monday.
The springtime favorite event of DC children was scheduled to take place on April 13.
“I deeply regret this cancellation, but we need to make difficult decisions in the short-term to ensure a healthy country for the long-term. During this time, I encourage everyone to listen to state and local officials, and follow CDC guidelines in order to help protect the health and well-being of everyone,” the first lady’s statement continued.
The egg roll tradition began on April 22, 1878 after President Rutherford B. Hayes agreed to open the White House grounds on Easter Monday to children who wanted to roll Easter eggs.
The festivities were completely stopped from 1942-1952, first due to World War II, then a food shortage, then the South Lawn becoming a construction zone from 1948-1952.

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: The Coronavirus Fatality Rate Reported by the Media Is COMPLETELY INACCURATE.  The Actual Rate Is LESS THAN THE FLU – MEDIA LYING AGAIN!

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE : The Coronavirus Fatality Rate Reported by the Media Is COMPLETELY INACCURATE .
The Actual Rate Is LESS THAN THE FLU – MEDIA LYING AGAIN !
The current estimate for the fatality rates on the coronavirus just don ’ t add up .
The estimates based on current data are completely inaccurate .
Current data shows that this virus is much less deadly that even the common flu from the 2019-2020 season .
• Estimates have been made about the fatality rate of the coronavirus • Sometimes estimates are reasonable and sometimes they are off , way off @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is estimated at 3.4 % • The same rate for the flu is 10 % ( but the media tells you it ’ s .1 % ) • None Actual results for the coronavirus are lower than the flu • Current estimates between the flu and the coronavirus are not comparing ‘ apples to apples ’ • Those most at risk from the coronavirus are the elderly ( average age of death in 80 ) and the sick 1 .
Estimates have been made about the fatality rate of the coronavirus .
Often @ @ @ @ @ @ @ data is just not yet available .
These estimates usually involve obtaining information that is available and making estimates on what is not .
We can not tell the future but we can make educated guesses based on information available .
This is what has been done with the coronavirus because this type of virus has apparently never been seen before .
2 .
Sometimes estimates are reasonable and sometimes they are wrong , way off .
I personally know of estimates made by actuaries ( i.e .
statisticians ) who projected profits @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
In this case the government changed the regulations related to the business in the country which resulted in tens of millions in losses in USD .
I know of another case where actuaries predicted a deal to be profitable that eventually led to over $ 100 million in losses .
The point is that whenever estimates are made they are always wrong because no one can tell the future .
Sometimes estimates end up close and sometimes they are not and sometimes they are way off .
3 .
The current estimate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 3.4 % .
The estimates for the fatality rate for the coronavirus are shocking .
The CDC released one report in February stating the rate varies between 12 % and 1 % : A report by the World Health Organization ( WHO ) and China estimates the mortality rate to be around 3.8 % based on actual results : Other reports are that the WHO estimates the mortality rate to be around 3.4 % : As of today , the actual fatality rate for those who were confirmed to have had the coronavirus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ number of fatalities from the virus divided by the number of individuals who were confirmed with the virus .
4 .
The same rate for the flu is 10 % ( but the media tells you it ’ s .1 % ) .
As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier , according to CDC numbers , in the US in the 2019-2020 flu season , there were 222,000 confirmed cases of the flu from testing and an estimated 36 million flu cases in the United States .
There were 22,000 confirmed deaths from the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deaths and confirmed cases ( through testing ) of the flu in the US are based on actual data .
The number of individuals who contracted the flu is an estimate by experts .
There is no way to know who had the flu in the US because many cases are not severe and people do not have a test done to confirm they had the flu .
They believe their symptoms are minor and go on with their normal lives thinking they have a cold or something similar .
Because of this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ estimated 36 million people had the flu in this past flu season .
The rate of the number of individuals who died from the flu to the number of individuals who had the flu is therefore .1 % ( 22,000 / 36 million ) .
This is an estimate .
However , the rate of individuals who died from the flu to the number of individuals who were confirmed to have had the flu is around 10 % ( 22,000/ 222,000 ) .
This is based on actual data similar to the rate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Actual results for the coronavirus are lower than the flu .
Based on the above numbers , the actual fatality rates for those who were confirmed to have had the coronavirus are around 3.4 % .
The actual rates for those who were confirmed to have had the flu are around 10 % .
The actual data shows that the fatality rate for those who had the flu ( 10 % ) is 6 % higher than for those with the coronavirus ( 3.8 % ) .
6 .
Current estimates between the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ‘ apples to apples ’ .
The fatality rate that is commonly referred to in the media for the coronavirus is 3.4 % from the WHO .
This number is based on actual cases of those who are confirmed with the virus .
The flu fatality rate provided by the CDC includes an estimate of individuals who had the flu but were not confirmed while the fatality rate for the coronavirus does not include those who had the coronavirus but were not confirmed .
This is why the flu fatality rate is .1 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 3.4 % !
The two rates are like comparing apples to oranges .
By doing so the coronavirus fatality rate is way overstated when compared to the flu and the media has created a worldwide crisis and panic by reporting this !
The coronavirus is not more fatal than the flu based on current data .
It is much less fatal than the flu based on current data .
7 .
Those most at risk from the coronavirus are the elderly and sick ( similar to the flu ) .
Similar to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dying from the coronavirus are the elderly and the sick .
The average age for those who died from the coronavirus in Italy is 81 years old .
This is consistent around the world .
There have been no known fatalities for any children 10 and under .
The sick are also at a higher risk similar to the flu .
Current data shows that if you have no pre-existing conditions , your fatality rate if you contract the coronavirus is .9 % ( and what proportion of these cases are the elderly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is not as deadly as is being portrayed in the lying liberal media .
In fact it is not as deadly as the flu .
The elderly and the sick should be protected .
Everyone else has very little to worry about .
Again , don ’ t believe what the media is telling you .
They are lying again .

The current estimate for the fatality rates on the coronavirus just don’t add up. The estimates based on current data are completely inaccurate. Current data shows that this virus is much as deadly as the common flu from the 2019-2020 season.

Summary of points below:

1. Estimates have been made about the fatality rate of the coronavirus.
Often times estimates have to be made because data is just not yet available. These estimates usually involve obtaining information that is available and making estimates on what is not. We cannot tell the future but we can make educated guesses based on information available. This is what has been done with the coronavirus because this type of virus has apparently never been seen before.
2. Sometimes estimates are reasonable and sometimes they are wrong, way off.
Whenever estimates are made they are always wrong because no one can tell the future. Sometimes estimates end up close and sometimes they are not and sometimes they are way off.
3. The current estimate for the coronavirus fatality rate is about 3.4%.
The estimates for the fatality rate for the coronavirus are shocking. The CDC released one report in February stating the rate varies between 12% and 1%:
Our estimates of the risk for death in Wuhan reached values as high as 12% in the epicenter of the epidemic and ≈1% in other, more mildly affected areas.
A report by the World Health Organization (WHO) and China estimates the mortality rate to be around 3.8% based on actual results:
As of 20 February, 2114 of the 55,924 laboratory confirmed cases have died (crude fatality ratio [CFR2] 3.8%) (note: at least some of whom were identified using a case definition that included pulmonary disease). The overall CFR varies by location and intensity of transmission (i.e. 5.8% in Wuhan vs. 0.7% in other areas in China).
Other reports are that the WHO estimates the mortality rate to be around 3.4%:
The World Health Organization (WHO) has estimated the mortality rate from Covid-19 is about 3.4%. That is higher than seasonal flu and is cause for concern – but even if it is correct, more than 96% of people who become infected with the coronavirus will recover.
As of today, the actual fatality rate for those who were confirmed to have had the coronavirus is 3.84%. This is the number of fatalities from the virus divided by the number of individuals who were confirmed with the virus.
4. The same rate for the flu from actual testing is around 10% but the estimated mortality rate is 0.1%.
As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, according to CDC numbers, in the US in the 2019-2020 flu season, there were 222,000 confirmed cases of the flu from testing and an estimated 36 million flu cases in the United States. There were 22,000 confirmed deaths from the flu.
Note that the number of deaths and confirmed cases (through testing) of the flu in the US are based on actual data. The number of individuals who contracted the flu is an estimate by experts. There is no way to know who had the flu in the US because many cases are not severe and people do not have a test done to confirm they had the flu. They believe their symptoms are minor and go on with their normal lives thinking they have a cold or something similar. Because of this, the CDC must estimate and they estimated 36 million people had the flu in this past flu season.
The rate of the number of individuals who died from the flu to the number of individuals who had the flu is therefore .1% (22,000 / 36 million). This is an estimate.
However, the rate of individuals who died from the flu to the number of individuals who were confirmed to have had the flu is around 10% (22,000/ 222,000). This is based on actual data similar to the rate for the coronavirus above.
5. Actual results for the coronavirus are typical of the flu.
Based on the above numbers, the actual fatality rates for those who were confirmed to have had the coronavirus are around 3.4%.
The actual rates for those who were confirmed to have had the flu are around 10%.
The actual data shows that the fatality rate for those who had the flu (10%) is 6% higher than for those with the coronavirus (3.8%).
6. Current estimates between the flu and the coronavirus are not comparing ‘apples to apples’.
The fatality rate that is commonly referred to in the media for the coronavirus is 3.4% from the WHO. This number is based on actual cases of those who are confirmed with the virus.
The flu fatality rate provided by the CDC includes an estimate of individuals who had the flu but were not confirmed while the fatality rate for the coronavirus does not include those who had the coronavirus but were not confirmed. This is why the flu fatality rate is .1% and the coronavirus fatality rate is 3.4%!
The two rates are like comparing apples to oranges. By doing so the coronavirus fatality rate is way overstated when compared to the flu and the media has created a worldwide crisis and panic by reporting this!
The coronavirus is not more fatal than the flu based on current data. It is much less fatal than the flu based on current data.
7. Those most at risk from the coronavirus are the elderly and sick (similar to the flu).
Similar to the flu, those most at risk of dying from the coronavirus are the elderly and the sick. The average age for those who died from the coronavirus in Italy is 81 years old. This is consistent around the world. There have been no known fatalities for any children 10 and under.
The sick are also at a higher risk similar to the flu. Current data shows that if you have no pre-existing conditions, your fatality rate if you contract the coronavirus is .9% (and what proportion of these cases are the elderly).
In summary, the coronavirus is not as deadly as is being portrayed by the experts and in the lying liberal media. In fact it is similar to the flu except that it is not as deadly for children. The elderly and the sick should be protected. Everyone else has very little to worry about. Again, don’t believe what the media is telling you. They are lying again.
Update– We added information on children and updated to better explain annual flu deaths.

Jennifer Rubin of the Washington Post used to be a conservative but in the age of Trump, she went crazy.
She recently appeared on MSNBC and claimed that more Republicans will die of Coronavirus than Democrats because of Trump and right wing media. It’s amazing that this is the way she thinks about the situation.
Here’s a partial transcript via Real Clear Politics:
JENNIFER RUBIN, WASHINGTON POST: There is a particular cruelty/irony that it is their core viewers, the Republican older viewers, who are the most at risk. And when you think about it, which party immediately canceled all of their rallies? Which party immediately started having their political figures really portray and use their lies as an example? It was the Democrats. So, I hate to put it this way, but there will be less Democrat deaths because there will be less mass gatherings, there will be less opportunities for people to congregate and share this horrible disease. So it is really a very short-sighted strategy. But, I think now the name of the game is how do they get back on Planet Earth. And part of the way that I think that they are doing it is down the memory hole. He jumped right on this right away because of all this planning that we’re doing so well, which is head-spinning for the rest of us who watched him for weeks say this was a hoax. But this is how they do it at Fox News. Suddenly, he’s been the most pro-active president… The toughest on it.

Pelosi is still working out the “major differences” with Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin.
Last week it was reported that Pelosi tried to sneak in federal funding for abortion into the Coronavirus response bill.
Now it’s being reported that the House met twice on Monday morning and gaveled in and gaveled out and have NOT approved the changes to the bill.
This is a huge problem because the House cannot send the bill to the Senate until they approve of the technical changes.
Rep. Louie Gohmert (R–TX) insists on reading the changes (rightfully so) to the bill because as Pelosi has shown, she will sneak in funding for Democrat-backed causes.
Politico reported:
Pelosi and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin were still working on the details Monday. House sources said Monday that “major differences” remained between the White House and House Democrats over what was adopted and needed to be changed. This is slowing down the time table for House completion of the bill and sending it onto the Senate. Pelosi and administration officials still remain hopeful they can achieve a workable compromise, but were tight lipped about the state of play on Monday. The House passed its emergency package early Saturday morning but needs to make some technical corrections. Adding to the uncertainty on timing, Rep.

Main Street investors have increased their buying of stocks during the current market downdraft.
Where is all the selling pressure coming from?
Wall Street short sellers are attacking the market to make a killing, tank the economy, and get Trump out of office.
Trump must reinstate the uptick rule to stop this now!
Recent data shows that main street investors have increased their buying of stocks during the current dramatic downturn. And yet the market is tanking—the Dow closed down 12.94% today.
On Friday, British, Italian, and Spanish securities authorities banned short selling.
The move was to to protect Main Street investors from short sellers who are taking advantage of the Coronavirus panic to attack the market.
Short sellers do not own the stock they sell. They merely borrow it, sell it, and hope to buy it back at a lower price to make money.
In a short seller attack in times of market uncertainty, the short sellers borrow large quantities of stock and sell it, hoping to drive the price relentlessly down.
As the market goes lower and lower, Main Street investors who are relying on stocks for their retirement, throw in the towel and sell, taking losses while the short sellers make large profits.
It’s time for the USA to protect Main Street investors from Wall Street short sale raiders. Ban short selling entirely or implement the Uptick Rule to protect Main Street investors.
