Fully’s Good News Corner
Corona Virus Reporting is center Stage in the news cycle.
Numbers of new cases and deaths are reported all day every day.
Soon you will hear Death Toll from Killer Virus reaches 3,000 !
Number of People Infected by Killer Virus surpasses 100,000 !
We are seriously unprepared for this pandemic !
It’s out of control and spreading exponentially !
It is hard to find anything written on this subject that does not have dire warnings and or implications.
The general theme is… We are all going to Die ( or wish we had)
……………..
Meanwhile Right Now the number of reported new cases world wide is rising by about 1,000 a day
And the number of reported recovered cases is rising by about 3,000 a day
So the number of reported active cases world wide is Dropping by 2,000 a day.
That’s about 2.2% of the total accumulated cases Off the board each day.
This seems to be Good news…..but of course Good news is Not newsworthy so it is not reported.

………….
The situation is fluid of course and there are unknowns but this is Very Good news at the moment.
You won’t read this at Zero Hedge ( they have zero interest in good news)
You wont see it reported at FOX or CNN or any MSM outlet…who the hell wants to be bothered with Good news ?
Quite frankly Sponsors do not pay them to find and report good news.
So I thought we could start a new trend here at the tent…
Good News Corner.
Feel free to share any good news.
PS…Starbucks says they have 85% of their stores in China Open. That’s good news.
Ice Cap anyone ?
PS…. I could point out that the country at the epicenter of the epidemic has a population of 1,500,000,000
3000 out of 1.5 Billion is .000002 %
but that would be disrespectful to the 3,000 that actually did lose their lives.
No One knows exactly where this is going….but we can use rational thinking to know where we are.
Good News! No tax on selected items at Loblaws today.
Again, you are using official numbers, particularly for China.
YOU APPEAR TO TRUST THOSE. WHY?
This issue has political ramifications for the CCP.
Hence, the numbers are ‘sanitized’.
Anyone who has really examined the situation carefully on the ground believes the problem is something like 10x larger. At least in Wuhan and China generally.
Watch what they DO, not what they SAY …. means more than ever in this case.
There is much more potentially to lose by understating risks in this situation, than there is to be gained by downplaying them.
And I will say this again … its gone well beyond being a strictly medical issue, and that’s what this week’s selloff was telling you.
If you think it may have been overdone, fine. But I think its only just started.
Why do you trust anyone on the ground to KNOW what the numbers are ?
“Anyone who has really examined the situation carefully on the ground believes the problem is something like 10x larger. At least in Wuhan and China generally.”
Do you know someone on the ground personally who can refute the official numbers ?
Do you know someone or some group that is counting better and more accurately than the officials ?
Give us a credible source please. This statement is just as ridiculous as anything reported about the situation.
Of course the numbers are not accurate….I would expect that there are 10 to 20 times MORE cases than have been counted
Most people will not go to get checked if they have flu like symptoms…only those really direly ill will be checked and counted
and what about false negatives and positives ? Apparently the tests are maybe 70% accurate…again I don’t know this nor do you.
Anyone observing “on the ground” in Wuhan and seeing people sick cant know if these people have the Flu or Corona virus…the flu is still likely 100X more prevalent …it is Endemic…Everywhere.
All I am saying is using the official numbers the media is only showing the negative of the accumulative cases…they are not doing the math and reporting the positives.
I agree it is going way beyond a strictly medical issue …the Economic repercussions of this mass hysteria are serious and will be severe….possibly of even likely leading to one of the worst global recessions / depressions in history…
I can see all professional sports leagues shutting down…Olympics Cancelled
Schools and malls closed in all Countries. People shut in ..quarantined…sitting watching their tvs and phones reading disaster all day long.
All I am saying is I think The Reaction is going to be WAY overblown …..but nothing will change that until ,if and when this virus disappears.
“Watch what they do not what they say….? ” Starbucks has reopened 85% of their stores in China and more are opening every day…that what THEY are doing.
Anyhow Trump “Says” its all a hoax to get him to lose the election and he is NOT “doing” anything
🙂
