A 6-week-old baby died in the United States from COVID-19 and was the youngest victim of coronavirus in the world.
“A 6-week-old newborn from the Hartford area in United State was brought unresponsive to a hospital late last week and had died from COVID-19 .” He was the youngest victim of coronavirus in the world.
“It is a sadness that breaks my heart,” said the governor of the state of Connecticut. In Chicago, a 9-month-old boy had already died from COVID-19 earlier.
We are so fortunate that child and baby deaths from coronavirus are almost unheard of. I hope they stay very rare. In Connecticut, they dialed back from the official reporting: “An official cause of death remains outstanding pending toxicology results, and officials said it is possible the child died not from the virus but from an underlying condition, sudden infant death syndrome or positional asphyxiation.
In the absence of that official determination Friday, Lamont and Connecticut State Epidemiologist Matthew Cartter retreated from directly connecting the cause of the infant’s death to the virus.”
Of course one, two, or three are too many. CDC is looking into 3 child deaths in US but has not concluded any of them were caused by coronavirus yet.That is because they are testing all people who die for the virus no matter what they died of.. then they have to sort out if the test is positive if they were asymptomatic or if coronavirus made them sick and contributed to death or if it entirely caused their death. From CDC: Three deaths were reported during this time period, though they are suspected of having COVID-19, public officials are still working to confirm whether that was the likely cause of the deaths.
almost everyone who has died had underlying medical conditions. how do you tell if they died from those or from the virus? you can’t. the only deaths listed for corona-virus should be those who died with only the corona-virus. those numbers would be much less than what we now have. only those who test positive or already have medical problems should be quarantined. everyone else should be allowed to live their lives.
We have filed a lawsuit against Arizona governor Doug Ducey alleging that his COVID-19 declaration of state of emergency is an unconstitutional infringement on the 5th and 14th amendment.
A hearing on this matter is set for April 9, 2020, in Coconino County Superior Court.
If you’d like more information on this lawsuit please email me and I’ll send you PDF’s of the suit and exhibits.
My husband says I should post my stats table that I’ve been updating over the past week and sharing on FB. The image does post in the comment box but here is a link:

So…based on these stats we are currently at a death rate of .0000033944% of the U.S. population.
Sharyl, you are smoking hot..
High dose (30,000 IU/day) Vitamin D3 is an effective treatment against cold and flu (influenza, rhinovirus, and coronavirus) viruses. This statement is the conclusion of 25 randomized/placebo controlled medical studies with 10933 participants. Vitamin D3 is a potent immunomodulator and plays an important role in antiviral immune responses that inhibit virus replication.
Treatment
The treatment used in multiple medical studies is quite simple. Take A) 50,000 IU 1X dose weekly; or B) 10,000 IU 3X dose daily for 2 to 3 days in a weekly cycle (60,000-90,000 IU/week).
Claim 1: Vitamin D3 for Influenza
“The results are dramatic, with complete resolution of symptoms in 48 to 72 hours. One-time doses of vitamin D at this level have been used safely and have never been shown to be toxic.
” – Gerry Schwalfenberg, MD CCFP FCFP

Claim 2: Vitamin D3 for Rhinovirus
“A recent systematic review encompassing 10933 participants in 25 randomized controlled trials concluded that vitamin D supplementation reduced the risk of acute respiratory infection, with stronger protective effects in patients with baseline 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels <25 nmol/l.
" – Dr. Peter Barlow BSc PhD FHEA FRSB
Source: NIH/Pubmed, PMC6136076
Claim 3: Vitamin D3 for Respiratory viruses (i.e. Coronavirus)
"The evidence for the possible link between vitamin D and respiratory disease (e.g. Coronaviruses) comes from multiple studies." – Carlos A. Camargo, Jr, MD, DrPHb
"Coronaviruses also have been linked to lower respiratory tract disease in children (40), including the strains NL-63 (41) or New Haven (42), and HKU1 (43-45)." – Carlos A. Camargo, Jr, MD, DrPHb

I concur with those who contend this was, and is, not an accidental release. There are hotspots such as Northern Italy & New Orleans that lead me to presume this is an intentional release which is still occurring and will continue.
I didn’t like it when the local press reported the death in PA without stating his age, they later reported he was 55. I mention this because it detracts from the stellar work product and fearless pursuit of the truth. You paid a price Amy Robach was obviously unwilling to bear.

“So this raises an important question; why are patients with symptoms very similar between COVID-19 and influenza, not being tested for influenza as well”
Now how would you know they are not? For instance I watched one story in which a person had flu like symptoms and they were tested for the flu and tested negative to it. Then they had to fight to get the Covid 19 test which they indeed had. So conversely can be happening as well.
Unless you have proof of what you say your comment is just as much guess work as mine.
Ideally a full band of tests should be given until a solution is found. Given that I see the chances of ANY tests being given as a crap shoot at best. You will get what you get then probably have to beg if Covid 19 isnt checked.
As you scroll down and read the comments its interesting to see the slight change in peoples comments. They seem to follow the arc of the spread of the virus. Less “its a hoax” to more “this is real”.
I myself had to make a decision that contradicts my original point of the shut down being an over reaction. I literally do not know any more than I did when I made that comment. But I was left a choice to either expose parents and children to potential infection or just communicate via Skype. Given the
two I had to aire on the side of caution. That said I find this comment by Ms. Atkisson interesting.
This was answer she gave to a commenter on here asking Ms. Atkisson if she would keep the virus update numbers updated.
Sharyl Attkisson says
MARCH 16, 2020 AT 10:27 PM
“I’m afraid it will soon be beyond my bandwidth! But I’m trying”
What does bandwidth have to do with staying current with daily numbers?
Maybe bandwidth was a metaphor for her efforts or something?
It shouldn’t have ANYTHING to do with literal bandwidth
its a metaphor used here Stateside
I would like to focus on New York City as a comparative analysis between the national epidemic of Influenza and the recent outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 variant of coronavirus (a.k.a. COVID-19).
Here is New York State’s website that tracks influenza by county and region.
See: https://nyshc.health.ny.gov/web/nyapd/new-york-state-flu-tracker
Notice that so far, New York City has reported a total of 2,413 influenza cases.
The total number of COVID-19 cases is 2,469 to date
See: https://coronavirus.health.ny.gov/county-county-breakdown-positive-cases .
So this raises an important question; why are patients with symptoms very similar between COVID-19 and influenza, not being tested for influenza as well, since the number of cases for both diseases are nearly identical?
There is a medical term call comorbidity, which means a patient having more than one illness at the same time. If patients were tested for influenza and found to be positive, that would alter the treatment regimen, which could lead to a more successful outcome,
The clinicians are not recognizing the importance of testing for influenza with patients who are symptomatic for both diseases instead of just COVID-19. This is a mistake in my opinion and neglecting to include influenza skews the mortality numbers towards COVID-19 alone.
Will you be updating the info? I’ve seen it’s been 2 days since last update! Please if you can it is very informative and I appreciate all the hard work you’ve done.
Please, if you are so confident in the medical-scientific basis of your views, discuss them with Michael Osterholm of CIDRAP (as guest ,or offline if you fear embarassment). Curiously, Joe Rogan had the courage to have him on as a guest.
Meanwhile, though personally satisfying to engage with/preach to the choir, you are helping no one by selectively reporting bits of the much more revealing Covid global morbidity and mortality data. If you will not consult the most reliable experts—who indeed look at all the data (not just snippets that support a pre-formed opinion)—you cannot become the layperson’s equivalent of one.
So yes, the oldest are being seen as the first Covid casualties; the infirm and compromised were in the vaguard to die in 1918 as well, but they were not the only or last to die then, nor will they be now. Yes, many will recover, and it cheers the soul to hear when they do, but many will indeed die—and many more than necessary if case-demand spikes creating shortfalls in the health care they need. Yes, it appears that the younger fare better, but less so if the whole of the available data are considered—the numbers of seriously ill that are younger than 40 are still staggering, if one is honest in reviewing all the data. And the anticipated under-40 fatality rate there, even if smaller—are you willing to accept responsibility for encouraging youthful behaviour that leads to it being larger than it needs be (c.f. NBC, your former news agency, etc., on the Clearwater fiasco)?
So please, be a part of the solution. Encourage a slowing of the spread so that those less fortunate and financed than you do not end up—as Yascha Mounk reports in the 11 March 2020 issue of The Atlantic (“The Extraordinary Decisions Facing Italian Doctors”)—on the fatal end of an ICU doc’s agonizing to-treat-or-not-to-treat decision (see Mounk).
Finally, “It’s not as bad as they say” is, in your case, given your audience, a self-serving point—and in this case, ignorance and selfishness is societally dangerous. If you continue along this Pied Piper path, I hope you offer to give up your ICU slot to any one of your listeners/readers who so assiduously have followed you on this mortally important subject.
