Coronavirus Death Rate Plunges As MSM Breathlessly Hypes ‘Surge’ In Confirmed Cases; McEnany Sets The Media Right

By Eric A. Blair

You’ve seen the reports everywhere, all over the mainstream media (and sadly, atop the once-great Drudge Report) — confirmed cases of COVID-19 are rising.

But what you haven’t seen are reports about the dramatically low death rate from the virus, which scientists across the world are saying has been weakening for months, since the peak in mid-April.

For instance, did you know that the fatality rate in the U.S. is far below that of France, the United Kingdom and Germany? That’s what White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany told reporters on Monday, although the story didn’t get much play (“if it bleeds, it leads,” goes the old adage).

During her briefing, the White House press corps bashed President Trump for saying in his July Fourth address to the nation that that 99% of the COVID-19 cases are “totally harmless.”

“The president is not downplaying the severity of the virus,” McEnany said. “What the president is noting is that at the height of this pandemic we were at 2,500 deaths per day. We are now at a place where on July 4, there were 254. That’s a tenfold decrease in mortality.”

The number dropped further on Sunday on 209 — a total that was down 23% from the previous week.

“What the president was pointing to, and I’m glad you brought it up, was a factual statement, one that is rooted in science and one that was pointing out the fact that mortality in the country is very low,” McEnany said.

Here’s another fact getting short shrift. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Friday noted that the death rates from pneumonia, influenza and COVID-19 have dropped for 10 straight weeks, from 9.0% in week 25 to 5.9% in week 26. That means, the CDC said, that that the COVID-19 outbreak barely qualifies anymore as an “epidemic.”
