I don’t think so, @Gardenstater. It’s a valid point, but since the U.S. has been testing so little, Italy would have conducted 100,000 tests when the U.S. had conducted 500, therefore U.S. numbers remain vastly underrepresented compared with reality, and Italy.
In the meantime, many in the U.S. would have died from supposed pneumonia, when they probably had COVID-19.
Not being able to show the graph on a per 100,000 capita basis doesn’t mean the conclusions about the speed of spread are inaccurate.
There is indeed a quote from an old NYT article at the beginning that merely explains how the Chinese have been attempting to break into the Italian fashion industry since 2010. It seems to have been inserted to lend credibility to all of the theory that follows alleging that the Chinese practically inject Italians with COVID-19 because of their plan to take over the world.
Other than that, it’s mostly fiction, stringing together a bunch of ideas that were gleaned off the internet, with no actual bona fide reporting of their own.
It explains exactly why some people insist on calling the Wuhan virus, which even Breitbart and Fox News do not do.
“Why Italy” is a false claim anyway. From the graph posted earlier, and from the figures reported by JHU, the U.S. is on exactly the same path. In fact, probably a worse path than Italy.
There is more than a quote there are hyperlinks to multiple articles the were written by the list I referenced above....again read the article then get back to us...again it was not written by UndercoverDC

The numbers not being correctly put on a per capita basis was only one of my points. The other one was that Italy only tested its most severely sick patients.

I have no confidence in any statistics. Correct me if I am wrong but I haven't seen any that are based on an unbiased scientific sampling. Until those infected that show "little or no symptoms" are included, I see no reason to consider the statistics.

I have been working the day shift, I have not yet seen a difficult respiratory case these past three shifts so that’s a good sign.
My one patient from last week, the test results came back negative for Covid but the intensivist attending thinks it’s a false negative. Good news is liver enzymes improving and now off life support, still in renal failure requiring dialysis.
The other case that my partner saw cams back positive, now I think we may have lost a doc to quarantine.
That’s my update for today from the front lines.
I have a runny nose but no shortness of breath or fever. Will see how this evolves but I don’t see how I could get it after all the precautions I’ve been taking including masking and double gloving for every patient.
