So... it's hard to believe that only the US has been hit this hard by this Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), @~850k cases (to date). At least websites like "worldometer" are tracking what is made publicly available regarding folks contracting the SARS-CoV-2 and developing Corona Virus Disease discovered last year (CoViD-19).

Meanwhile, the medical community seems to be making good progress sequencing the virus' Ribo-Nucleic-Acids (RNA) and making them available via GenBank and the Sequence Read Archive (SRA). Seems like these sequences have led to an accelerated process for the number of clinical trials (794 to date) that are either running, recruting, or about to start recruting clinical candidates.

Thank goodness for the advent of modern medicine, super-computers, and rapid RNA sequencing machines. There is a chance that we may need less clinical trials than previous decades to find a good drug treatment, and eventually a vaccine candidate.

The following news article is a good summary in standard language regarding what is known about how the virus traveled from Seatle, WA to other locations: [nytimes.com]
At this point none of the numbers add up!!!
Death rates and recoveries are being added up for all deaths and those recovering from the so called regular flu!!!
Seems all other causes of death are also being lump in!!!
Seems patient zero death in the USA might have occurred as early as last November 2019!!!
Ahh. Now he is hitting it. I was back to work today after 5 days off and find all the Trumpers now saying our COVID-19 numbers are so high in the U. S. because all the deaths are being blamed on the virus. Man dies of a heart attack and the virus is listed as the cause. A person gets shot and the virus is said to be the cause. This seems like something right out of Fox News. It's a way of trying to make Trump look better. Sort of like when the hurricane threatened Alabama and Trump drew it in with his sharpie, then forced others to go along with it. If you can't say anything good about Trump you are "fake news" and it seems the move is on to make him look better.
A man told me today he thought all this was fake because he had no proof of all these virus deaths. I asked him how this was all possible around the entire world if you want to believe this is some stunt involving Trump and the two top American political parties. That just seems a little far fetched to me. How in the hell would they pull that off? It's best to take COVID-19 as being 100 percent real.
Hard? Well, assuming the population statistics we have been given for the world are at least as reliable as the stats on the virus we are lured to digest daily then Iād have to say at least the left hand consulted with the right on this matter and even with the ridiculous fake data on recovers and deaths, the rank of illness confirmed by country is commensurate with rank by population.
Mediated by the IQ of their leader.
