Why is Orange County on the downside of the curve? Because we had the first cases of CV19 back in Jan. Taking into account incubation, we likely had it longer.

This affirms the USC, Stanford, Isreali, and Fouci published papers that CV is deadly, however, not as deadly as the modeling predicted.
Fauci's paper, published in late March, likened it to seasonal flu. Why did he stand up at the pressers and claim otherwise? 2/

Fauci's paper from March:
"the case fatality rate may be considerably less than 1%. This suggests that the overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza" https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMe2002387?fbclid=IwAR0MvgU78VvJ1u3LuO0KZI0C7MFG_VrupTM-c__o12hRS_FBPfTz6kfeIMQ

LA DOPH press release about the USC study:
"preliminary results from a collaborative scientific study that suggests infections from the new CV are far more widespread - and the fatality rate much lower - in L.A. County than previously thought." 4/

Countries that locked down didn't show much difference than those that did.

We know that the first OC case of CV was in January. That patient recovered fully. The first US CV fatality was in Feb. https://www.sfchronicle.com/health/article/First-known-U-S-coronavirus-death-occurred-on-15217316.php?fbclid=IwAR1xDcBRHcU0R46iXbid6i3S80lHo1ksAR4fSIVtmgHZ2Gv7XezIhBNP0ao
Interestingly... Dr. Birx compares CV to the seasonal flu and even claims the flu cases have gone down

But what about pneumonia? Data shows we've basically eradicated pneumonia... or are those cases being counted as CV?
“Its not that the curve has flattened, we’re on the other side of the curve and headed down!”

The illness is real, and has the potential to be dangerous to people with certain commodities. Obesity, diabetes, and immuno conditions are thrown around, but another consideration... those with G6PD enzyme deficiency. HQ treatment could be a problem. 12/ https://acrabstracts.org/abstract/hydroxychloroquine-is-not-associated-with-hemolytic-anemia-in-glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase-g6pd-deficient-patients/
G6PD enzyme deficiency is usually found in people of Asian, African, and Mediterranean descent. COVID in the lungs and attacks the RBC’s and surfactants, with the deficiency...it will speed up the issue quickly!
Perhaps that is once factor why China and Italy got hit hard.

Same study also states:
"G6PD deficiency can be a challenge during the COVID‐19 pandemic. The above-cited ex vivo study has found that α‐lipoic acid can attenuate the vulnerability of G6PD-deficient cells"
Also, the virus rapidly mutates. Treatment vs. vaccine

Back to OC:
Population: 3,179,950
Deaths attributed to Corona: 33
.0000103% of the population has reportedly died in Orange County from CV.
(I’ve included the top ten cause of death numbers in 2017 for OC to lend some perspective.)

Hoag Hospital calls it the 'Fear Virus"
"The individual risk of dying from a Covid infection is less than 1%"
Fear is a powerful emotion.
