Bloomberg Shows Trump Correct on Gist of Remarks Censored by Twitter — Steemit

According to a Bloomberg report, young children have a greater chance of dying of the common flu than they do of COVID-19. President Trump has been censored and banned by Twitter for essentially making the same point.

Trump was addressing a crisis which has transformed in four months from a request to the public to help "flatten the curve" for 14 days, to a daily vigil on "new cases." The initial fear professed by the government's chief disease-fighter, Dr. Anthony Fauci, was that the US would run out of ventilators for the neediest patients. The US is now a net exporter of the machines.

The overall survival rate for COVID is now estimated by the CDC to be very similar to flu, 99.8%. The commonly accepted overall survival rate for flu is 99.9%.

....

Bloomberg reported in May:

For children [under age 15] the risk of dying from Covid-19 appears to be much less than that of dying from influenza and pneumonia even in the most pessimistic of...scenarios.


The report included the following graphic, sourced from the US Center for Disease Control.

Although children are not "immune" from the coronavirus, as Trump incorrectly stated, they almost always quickly become immune, most often without showing symptoms.

But that isn't what he said.

He said "basically immune". That's a lie. A dangerous lie that could get many people killed.

Children are due to their immune systems. If the child's immune system is not compromised, they react far faster and do not over react (no cytokine storm) as it does in adults (which is the primary cause of death in older individuals which causes inflammation and fluid build up in the lungs ).

Lol, ok. Children are basically immune, you should inject disinfectants and stick a UV light up yer butt.

Got it now.
