Univ of Pittsburgh: Chinese virus appears to be declining in potency

[Life is Golden]

Doctors at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center say the coronavirus appears to be becoming less potent.

Dr Donald Yealy, chair of emergency medicine at UPMC, explained at a press conference on Thursday that people seem to be contracting the virus less easily and cases appear to be less severe then when the pandemic first took hold in the US early this year.

'The virus may be changing,' Yealy said. 'Some patterns suggest the potency is diminished.'

He noted that UPMC has successfully treated more than 500 coronavirus patients since March, and in recent weeks fewer patients are requiring ventilators to help them breathe.

That would be truly awesome news.

I hope they're right. I've noticed on the Worldometer coronavirus site that while new cases are still rising steadily around the world, deaths are not keeping pace. See the graphs on this page.

No matter what source you post, the ignorant ones will always find fault. Potentially good news. Thanks for posting it!

I guess the UPMC isn't respected by the some of the "locals"...

No, they questioned the source, and the probability that the poster posted it implying it was good news for Trump

What the fuck are you yammering about? Where do you see this "and the probability that the poster posted it implying it was good news for Trump"? for one. As far as your other observation concerning Trumpet and Christiefan, you are wrong there also.

Not to put too fine a point on this but I mentioned this weeks ago. I also have mentioned that Bret Weinstein pointed out first in March that this was likely to happen because this is how evolution tends to work, the experts had to know that this was likely to happen...but look at how few people have been talking about this since we first heard of this bug.

Popeye what are you rambling about?????

Trumpet is obviously just spouting more bullshit. That is all it is capable of doing.
