So much winning from Donald Trump, even with coronavirus: "We have the best mortality rates"

Here.

Unfortunately, the mortality rate for COVID-19 in South Korea has suddenly rebounded to 0.60%

Here.

The mortality rate from COVID-19 has already dropped from 0.54% to 0.48% in South Korea

If you want to know how COVID-19 is going to go, watch South Korea, they are doing just about everything right

The good news is, outside China, the mortality rate from coronavirus is only 7x worse than for influenza, not 30x

Rush Limbaugh, a household name for dumbass in every corner of the world

Trump promised to appoint only the best people, this one totally botches death rate from flu

The global death rate from coronavirus at this hour stands at 3.36%, 33x higher than for ordinary flu.

In Hubei Province, where ground zero Wuhan is located, the coronavirus death rate is 3.88%

Contrary to Jewish opinion about whiteness, Bernie Sanders identifies as white

Rush Limbaugh is a fool and an imbecile, says coronavirus epidemic is just the common cold, kills fewer than the flu

Here:

The coronavirus is the common cold, folks. ... The survival rate of this is 98%! You have to read very deeply to find that number, that 2% of the people get the coronavirus die. That’s less than the flu, folks. 

The maximum survival rate from the Spanish flu pandemic 100 years ago was 96.6% when at least 17 million died globally. The death rate was 3.4%. Coronavirus death rate on the Chinese mainland is nearly that right now.

Ordinary influenza kills at most not quite 650,000 people globally every year.

Update to coronavirus death rate outside mainland China per WHO: 1.1%

CNBC's update:

10:56 am: WHO says new cases in Iran and Italy are ‘deeply concerning’

While cases in China have slowed, the “sudden increase in new cases” outside of China is “deeply concerning,” Tedros said. Outside of China, there are 2,074 cases across 28 countries, including 23 deaths, he said. “What we see is epidemics in different parts of the world, affecting countries in different ways and requiring a tailored response,” he said. —Lovelace

Coronavirus death rate climbs to 3.3%, just shy of minimum estimated Spanish flu pandemic death rate 100 years ago

A minimum of 17 million died worldwide in the Spanish flu pandemic 100 years ago when 500 million globally were infected, yielding a minimum death rate of 3.4%.

The estimates of deaths go up from there, some claiming as many as 50 million or even 100 million died.

CNBC reports this morning that total infections from Wuhan, China coronavirus number 79,400 and deaths 2,621.

The numbers are puny by comparison, but the death rate is not: 3.3%.

Absent draconian restrictions on movement and assembly this virus could kill millions similar to the Spanish flu pandemic.

The new outbreaks outside the Chinese mainland will foretell the true future for the world as many doubt the veracity of the Chinese numbers, both death counts and case counts.

AP reports 1,977 official cases of coronavirus infection outside mainland China, about 25 deaths

Story.

Death rate: 1.26%.

Mainland China death rate jumps to 3.174% from coronavirus epidemic, per CNBC through 2/22

76,936 cases and 2,442 deaths on the mainland as of Feb. 22.

Per Reuters:

In total, China has reported 75,569 cases to the WHO, and 2,239 deaths, Tedros said. According to available data, the disease remains mild in 80% of patients, and severe or critical in 20%. The virus has been fatal in 2% of reported cases.

The Reuters numbers yield 2.96%.

ICYMI, I know I did, which is how they want it: Bank failure no. 1 of 2020 occurred on Valentine's Day

Yeah, always on a Friday night, even better when it's a holiday.

It's not that the failures always happen on a Friday. It's just when the FDIC likes to pull the trigger. Put the animal down, nice and quiet like, when fewer people are paying attention.

Ericson State Bank in Ericson, Nebraska, failed on Feb 14, costing the FDIC's Deposit Insurance Fund $14.1 million.

The FDIC insures deposits at 5,256 banks and savings associations as of September 30, 2019, according to the latest bank failure press release from the FDIC.

There were four bank failures in 2019, none in 2018, eight in 2017 and five in 2016.

Coronavirus in Iran linked to Chinese workers in Qom who had traveled to China

The coronavirus has spread to several Iranian cities, a Health Ministry official said Friday, as an outbreak that the authorities say began in the city of Qom caused two more deaths. Iran confirmed 13 new coronavirus cases, bringing the total in the country to 18, with four of the total having died. The majority of coronavirus cases in Iran have been in Qom, a Shiite Muslim holy city 75 miles south of the capital Tehran. The new cases comprised seven people diagnosed in Qom, four in the capital Tehran and two in Gilan province, Health Ministry spokesman Kianush Jahanpur said in a tweet. Health officials had called for the suspension of all religious gatherings in Qom. “It’s clear that new coronavirus has circulated in the country and probably the source of this illness was Chinese workers who work in the city of Qom and had traveled to China,” Health Ministry official Minou Mohrez said, according to the official IRNA news agency. — Reuters

White House spokesperson Stephanie Grisham told Breitbart News “it’s always been our position that we are for legal immigration.”

Just three months ago, Trump slammed plans to increase the number of foreign workers in the U.S. labor market as the agenda of elected Democrats to drive down the wages of the poorest Americans.

Ilhan Omar lied to the infidel to steal from the infidel: She married her brother Elmi, while still married to her husband Hirsi, in order to get student loans for Elmi at North Dakota State University

Omar kept her marriage to Elmi quiet, with no one from the Somali community invited to the wedding. ...  'When she married Elmi, no one even knew about it.' ... The first report that Omar and her husband were siblings appeared on the website Somalispot in 2016. It said of Elmi, 34: 'As soon as Ilhan Omar married him he started university at her alma mater North Dakota State University where he graduated in 2012. ... Elmi and Omar married on February 12, 2009 at a Hennepin County office in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, southwest of Minneapolis, their marriage license shows. Omar said she and Hirsi had separated in 2008, and because their faith-based union was never recognized by law, neither is their separation. ... After their marriage Omar and Elmi moved to Fargo, where they both attended North Dakota State. But Omar and Hirsi were still together as husband and wife, [community leader Abdihakim] Osman said. ... 'She said she needed to get papers for her brother to go to school. We all thought she was just getting papers together to allow him to stay in this country. 'Once she had the papers they could apply for student loans.  'They both moved to North Dakota to go to school but she was still married to [Hirsi]. In the Somali way, the only marriage that mattered was the one in the mosque. ... Osman believes Elmi and Omar sought out someone outside the Somali community to conduct the ceremony because an imam would have known they were related and would have refused to marry them. ... Omar and Elmi eventually divorced in 2017 and she remarried Hirsi — with whom she had a third child — in a civil ceremony the following year, just in time for her election to Congress. Osman scoffs at the idea that this was a real remarriage. 'They never parted,' he said.
