WASHINGTON, DC, 25 June 2020
Government experts believe more than 20 million Americans could have contracted the coronavirus, 10 times more than official counts, indicating many people without symptoms have or have had the disease, senior administration officials said.
The estimate, from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is based on serology testing used to determine the presence of antibodies that show whether an individual has had the disease, the officials said.
The officials, speaking to a small group of reporters on Wednesday night, said the estimate was based on the number of known cases, between 2.3 million and 2.4 million, multiplied by the average rate of antibodies seen from the serology tests, about an average of 10 to 1.
“If you multiply the cases by that ratio, that’s where you get that 20 million figure,” said one official.
If true, the estimate would suggest the percentage of US deaths from the disease is lower than thought. More than 120,000 Americans have died from the disease since the pandemic erupted earlier this year.
The estimate comes as government officials note that many new cases are showing up in young people who do not exhibit symptoms and may not know they have it.
Officials said young people with no symptoms, but who are in regular contact with vulnerable populations, should proactively get tested to make sure they do not spread it.
“We have heard from Florida and Texas that roughly half of the new cases that are reporting are people under the age of 35, and many of them are asymptomatic,” one official said.
The CDC has sent 40 response teams to help deal with the outbreaks, they said.
More than 36,000 new cases of COVID-19 were recorded nationwide on Wednesday, just shy of the record 36,426 on 24 April, concentrated on states that were spared the brunt of the initial outbreak or moved early to lift restrictions aimed at curbing the virus’ spread.
Communist China is another evil empire and coloniser and we can see for ourselves the result of their despicable acts of genocide and colonisation. The virus is wreaking havoc in Beijing but it’s all hush hush because it doesn’t want bad publicity. It’s in total lock down like Wuhan was.
The deadly disease that has plagued the whole world originated in China and has killed 497,935 human beings as of June 27th. The 2009 African swine flu pandemic also originated in China killing one quarter of the world’s pig population (China had half the World’s pig population then) costing an economic loss of $141 billion to the CCP.
The 2002 SARS epicentre of the outbreak was again China. The same opaque system was responsible since no one dared to report it without the permission of the authorities. Any physician or journalist who reported risked persecution of leaking State secrets. 17 years later the CCP did the same with the covet-19.
The Asian Avian influenza also originated in China in 1996. 1.3 million chickens, ducks, pigeons and others were slaughtered.
During the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, 90,000 people were presumed dead and 375,000 were injured on the same year when China was hosting the Olympic Games.
All these phenomenal disasters ravaging China like waves of doom are the result of the CCP’s murderous rampage in China, Tibet, E Turkistan, S Mongolia and killing an apocalyptic 70 million people in their reign of terror since 1949. Every Chinese and Tibetan families have heart wrenching stories of the sheer brutality of this monstrous regime which is the very epitome of evil.
Children were taught to kill their parents and dance on their bodies. Taught to beat their teachers to death. No regime in history has brought such inhumanity to mankind.
Why pick only USA?
Belgium
United Kingdom
Spain
Italy
Sweden
France
These above countries have more deaths per million from Covid 19 than USA. Perhaps you may say that its because all the above countries were colonialists in the past. But then what about Tibet’s occupation and assault by China? What collective Karma were we reaping? What about the many countries in Africa and middle east that have endless bombings, fighting and starvation?
Btw, I love Native Americans and feel a great connection with them, especially their spirituality.
America was built on the blood and tears of its original inhabitants, the American Indians. They conquered their land and drove them from their lands by starving them under the pretext of building a rail line across America called Transcontinental Railroad between 1863-1869.
All the wild buffaloes which were the food for the Indians were destroyed to starve them in their quest to eradicate them. There were countless massacres of Indians and even children were not spared.
They forced the Indians to owe allegiance to the US flag in return for better treatment but no promises were kept. They treated the African slaves with untold savagery and both the Indians and African slaves were not even recognised as citizens of America and racial segregation was the norm.
During the war with Japan, 120,000 Japanese Americans were imprisoned for three long years in abject conditions and forced to sell their assets for throw away prices in order to be incarcerated. Even their children were not allowed to go to school beyond the prison walls.
On 6 August 1945, America dropped nuclear bomb on Hiroshima which resulted in the death of 70,000 civilians and another bomb was dropped two days later on Nagasaki which killed 80,000 Japanese civilians. The Americans have never expressed remorse or apology for the devastating crime against humanity.
So, America has been good in many ways because they had a free hand in occupying the land and extracting the natural resources at will. They treated the blacks the same way as they treated the original Indians and to this day, they continue with their violent mistreatment of the blacks.
The result is 250,000 Americans are likely to die because of the virus. Every action has a reaction and America’s bad karma is ripening.
