Leaked Covid-19 Documents: Hospitals Prep For 96 Million Infections & 480K Deaths

Authored by by Mac Slavo via SHTFplan.com,

Leaked medical conference documents have warned that hospitals across the United States are preparing for 96 million coronavirus infections.  Not only that, but the same document wants hospitals to make preparations for 480,000 deaths from this outbreak.

the American Hospital Association (AHA) conference in February reveal that US hospitals are preparing for:

  • 96 million coronavirus infections
  • 4.8 million hospitalizations from the infection
  • 480,000 deaths in the United States

According to Business Insider, these leaked documents are telling. Dr. James Lawler, a professor at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, presented the harrowing “best guess” estimates of the extent of the outbreak to hospitals and health professionals as part of the AHA webinar called What Healthcare Leaders Need to Know: Preparing for the COVID-19 on February 26.

These documents paint a bleaker picture for those who are over the age of 60. According to the leaked documents:

People aged 80 and over have a 14.8% chance of dying if they contract the infection, the slides revealed. The risk declines with youth, though those aged 70-79 and 60-69 are still placed at a significant risk, with 8% and 3.6% mortality rates respectively.”  –Business Insider

Additionally, it’s worth noting that Dr. Lawler’s estimate of 480,000 deaths would indicate a death rate of just half a percent (0.5%), which is significantly lower than death rates being reported by the WHO (3.4%) and the nation of Italy (5%). If the death rate in the United States reached just 2% while 96 million Americans are infected, that would result in 1.92 million deaths.

The United States has fewer than one million hospital beds, and they are typically around 75% occupied by existing patients, unrelated to the coronavirus. Natural News has calculated that U.S. hospital beds will be overrun by May 30th if nothing is done to stop the exponential spread of the coronavirus.

Mike Adams, aka, the Health Ranger at Natural News, has a new video out presenting the math and statistics found in these leaked documents.

If you want to die, heed the advice of Mike Pence and do nothing to prepare for the pandemic. The Surgeon General also hopes you stop buying protecting gear so that you get infected and die more quickly, thereby making more protective equipment available to the government which is stockpiling like mad at this very minute.”  –Mike Adams, Natural News

As Alt-Market’s Brandon Smith notes, it is also likely that hospitals are prepping for only 480,000 deaths because that is the maximum number of terminally ill patients their facilities can handle anyway.

If Italy is any indication and this virus does not burn out soon, the death rate will probably be between 3%-5%.  The real number of infected versus dead will not be accurately calculated for another year at least…

Coronavirus- Blunt Truth

“From 2014, Shi Zhengli was the recipient of a number of US Government grants as well as grants from the National Basic Research program of China, the Chinese Academy of Science, the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and from the Strategic Priority Research Program of Chinese Academy of Sciences, to assist in funding research into coronaviruses.”

Article continues:

Dr. Shi Zhengli

So this lady was paid well by the US government AND the Chinese government to fund “research into coronaviruses.”

What did we (and China) get for our money spent? In the original paper published in 2015, they stated

“Using the SARS-CoV reverse genetics system2, we generated and characterized a chimeric virus expressing the spike of bat coronavirus SHC014 in a mouse-adapted SARS-CoV backbone. The results indicate that group 2b viruses encoding the SHC014 spike in a wild-type backbone can efficiently use multiple orthologs of the SARS receptor human angiotensin converting enzyme II (ACE2), replicate efficiently in primary human airway cells and achieve in vitro titers equivalent to epidemic strains of SARS-CoV. Additionally, in vivo experiments demonstrate replication of the chimeric virus in mouse lung with notable pathogenesis. Evaluation of available SARS-based immune-therapeutic and prophylactic modalities revealed poor efficacy; both monoclonal antibody and vaccine approaches failed to neutralize and protect from infection with CoVs using the novel spike protein.”

This is what the government does when it is given a task. Since government acts according to administrative procedures they can do what ever they want. The downside is there is no mechanism to question their actions. Ever wonder why administrative statures are written outside constitutional statutes?

tb,
they’re administrative ‘ordinances” which fall under the executive as opposed to the legislative branch. but you’re right most are unconstitutional. so here’s how the evil works…. you complain to the administrators and they point the finger and say that the statutes give them authority, go talk to your legislator. you go to your sen./rep. and complain and they tell you that it’s just the way the administrators implemented the law. before it’s over, you’re so exhausted from carrying that monkey around on your back that that you just give up…. which is the purpose of the design.

We don’t know what the fatality rate will be. .5% to 5% is a big range. Lots of events are being cancelled- which is good. Others aren’t – which is bad. I hope Trump and his advisers are smarter than his fans. The crowd at The Conservative Treehouse – both the author and the commenters – are spouting deeply nonsensical stuff – “it’s just the flu, man” “Trump should keep having his rallies”. Those dumb fuckers are going to cause more people to die. They don’t even think people should stop shaking hands. I ain’t shaking nobody’s hand. It’s fucking stupid.

Right, the lack of beds and care are the big issue. If the data is somewhat correct, a large percentage of older folks (I’ve seen 10-15%+) will need medical care to try and stay alive. Also the ripple effect of people with other more serious health conditions that need surgeries and such could be affected as well. As someone who has been in the hospitals constantly the last two years, they aren’t full of open beds. Twice my daughter got admitted from the ER and we had to wait over 12hrs to get a room, this was at 2 different hospitals. Plus we saw how slow things were when someone has mersa etc, and how mediocre their protocols were are likely stopping this from spreading. The plastic throw away stuff and sanitizing gels are no perfect solution that’s for sure. Also everytime we went to the hospital we had nurses that were clearly sick. People with other serious issues or recovering from surgeries/chemo etc. can be taken out if they get a bad flu.
So lots of serious pneumonia cases alone can overwhelm the hospitals, and ripple effect unto other people. Plus its clear that people that work in hospitals are the ones bound to get this, and they will transfer it around before realizing its a bit worse than a cold. The slow ramp up and long period of minimal symptoms for many people will just increase the spread. Certain specialties already have long wait times to get seen, lelt alone treatment. My experiences have left me not thinking overly high of our medical system. The hospitals do a fairly good job of acute, clearly definied problems to try and keep people alive, but they do a really lousy job of dealing with chronic conditions. And the hospitals idea of hygiene were horrible, we had to ask to have our room cleaned repeatedly, and this was at a prestigious hospital, the smaller one we went to was sad. My wife has more surgeries planned already, waiting for very long is not a good thing, so anything that would push off surgery even further puts her at serious risk. We are in our 40’s and until some bad luck, would be in the pretty healthy category. But if you have a bad flu, good luck trying to go through most surgeries, and clearly if you are quarantined, getting care would be even harder or if it gets too bad–impossible in a timely manner.

Stay calm, Covid-19 mainly kills people over 65 that are sick and elderly and would die anyway in due time. Nothing to worry about here – it’s the manic reactions that cause worry and fear.

You should be happy that our old and dysfunctional leaders will be culled and leave room for Gen X to make a better planet! That’s the real reason why our rulers are panicking.

The death rate for U.S. in 2018 was 8.685 deaths per 1000 people, a 1.22% increase from 2017. The death rate for U.S. in 2017 was 8.580 deaths per 1000 people, a 1.24% increase from 2016.

https://www.prb.org/aging-unitedstates-fact-sheet/
• Covid-19 is estimated to kill 15% of those already sick and elderly over 65.
• The population of >65 in USA is 52,000,000
• Assuming 100% infection rate
• Therefore 7,800,000 will die in this category and is part of the
• 20,000,000 deaths of over 65s that die each year anyway.

For the rest of the population it is mostly mild and ineffectual – no more than common flu but much more infectious and persistent – which means most will get it eventually with an estimated kill rate under 1%, but again for those with underlying health issues.

Come on boys and gals, they are taking you for fools and blinding you with pseudo-science. Stay calm and carry on!

Lets panic it’s a terrific drug. More leaked documents. Did Pence really tell people not to prepare? What protective gear could you buy that the surgeon general is trying to prevent. There are no masks for sale. Tonight Trunews was 2 solid hours of Panic Porn. What “They” want is panic so they won’t have to fight to put the country on total lockdown like Italy and the Alt-Media is helping them. Sheep to the slaughter. How about preparing not to panic. S. Korea was supposed to be in crisis when only 145 out of every million had the virus, Not Virus. Italians are well known for being highly emotional and quick to surrender. This is a multi faceted war on us by the deep state and this virus, it’s not a virus, is just one weapon. How exactly do we prepare for something without a cure. Panic or even low grade fear hurts the immune system. That’s no way to prepare. At this point what would total lockdown do besides paralyze the entire economy?

Peter – your numbers are wrong. I am a savant with numbers, and yours are simply wrong. For example:

If 16% of the population is over 65, that puts the number over sixty five around 52 million. If 20 million of them die each year, that is around 40%, not 6%, of the over 65s that die each year. 20 million is around 6% of the total population, not 6% of over 65s.

Additionally, because your numbers set off alarm bells, I looked up deaths of over65s. .A bit more than 2 million over 65s died in 2017. You can check it yourself.

Come on, Peter, you gotta do better than that. Those numbers you posted are crap. Fix them up.

No, 6% of the total USA population over 65 die, that is what I reported. Agreed that 40% odd of the over 65 die each year which is to be expected. Her are the google facts:

“A bit more than 2 million over 65s died in 2017. You can check it yourself. ”
Wrong – Google:
“Deaths per 100,000 population: 65-74: 1,790.9. 75-84: 4,472.6.”
Do your own math – it’s 20 million!

Peter – using the high number for deaths of those aged 75-84, 4472 per 100,000 is 4.4%. Read that again 4.4% – not 40%. There are 52 million over the age of 65.

So Mr Accountant, what the fuck is 4.4% of 52 million? Why, that is around 2.5 million. Not 20 million.

Seriously, get a fucking clue. Around 4% of those over 65 die each year, not 40%. Around 2 million over 65 die each year.

I do not give a shit if you were an accountant. On this you are flat out wrong, approaching the point of imbecilic.

And here are the figures from the CDC for 2017.

“Number of deaths of persons age 65 and over: 2,067,404
Deaths per 100,000 population:
65-74: 1,790.9
75-84: 4,472.6
85 and over: 13,573.6”

Peter, I am a math savant. Always have been. I have never met anyone better, and certainly no accountant has ever come close. I can smell bad figures a mile away. And a whiff of yours stunk, so I spent a full 10 seconds looking at them and calling bullshit.

And yet you double down on stupid. That somehow the deaths per 100,000 translate into 20 million and 40%. You’re off a decimal point.

Fix your numbers as they are critical to the point you are making, and destroy your argument.

Here is another way of seeing how absurd are Peter’s numbers.

He says 20 million people over 65 die each year. 20 million is 1/17th of the entire population.

If you lose 1/17 of the entire population each year, guess what the average life expectancy is?

Why, that would be 17 years.

Unbelievable a man as smart as Peter refuses to acknowledge he has made a massive mistake in basic math calculations.

Thanks for the persistence Llpoh and I can see you are right but I made a silly error because your logic is clear. I read that it was per 100,000 of the total population:

I did this and clearly I was wrong:
Roughly, 6,000 per 100,000 population deaths
Population 330,000,000 = 3,300 x 100,000
6,000 x 3,300 = 19,800,000

To check: 6000 is 6% of 100,000. 6% of 330m = 20m

Clearly I read the figure wrong. Maybe I’m getting too old for this?

I am heartened to realize how so many are so callus and dismissive of those who died and continue to die, but then, hey, they were gonna die anyway so too bad they died early due to a virus that shall pass. Wonder how you all would feel about it being your asses affected? Would you be so dismissive? I rather doubt it but carry on, your life is precious, the other guy? Tough titty.

Yes, true, but I am 75 and consider that I have had 5 years more than I should have according to the good book. Death is a function of life – embrace it and be accepting of your fate.

Oh bollocks.Embrace your fate? So, if I deliberately step in front of a speeding train then that was my fate?
Evidently you are an extremely passive individual who ignores or avoids any means of self sufficiency or survival and will simply sit rather than take action.

I know I will die, someday, however, I really don’t intend to sit back and do nothing in a situation where if I take certain actions I can mitigate the risks of dying.

Pete, which good book is that? The actuarial tables? The bible says we get 120 years max and that some folks will not see half of those but 70 seems like it’s over half. I’m a little hazy on this thing.

The stated mortality rate for those over 80 is 15%(14.8). I would say unofficially that the death rate of the 80+ crowd is 15% for any illness or injury. How many seniors die from broken bone complications?

Quite so Fleabaggs, just my point – the over 65s with health issues will die anyway – that’s the nature of life.

Flea, when this all started, the story was the virus could penetrate your skin. Today, simply washing your hands will keep you safe. Despite the 70-80% infection forecast. Which is it, will washing keep us pure or should we be wearing a deep sea pressure suit?

Sea Dog.
That isn’t the only story that keeps changing either. Seems like every week they are adding features to it.
I am willing to be proven wrong about it’s danger but I’m convinced that TPTB will extract as much control as possible from it. The argument that governments wouldn’t wreck the economy to gain that control is weak. Here’s why.
TPTB already own 95% of everything. If they crash it 95% of everything is still 95% no matter the dollar value.
Panic makes it hard to think so it suits them to sew fear in the populace and make them clamor for martial law or national quarantine (Martial Lite).

Remember when the corona virus could be spread via turds and likely was going to crawl up your bunghole in a public all-gender bathroom if the bulldyke ahead of you didn’t flush twice?

Indeed Chuck – it is just so. The herd panicked over tulips too. When you start measuring anything you come up with false data.

Tulip mania is a myth….there was no herd panicking over tulips.

Yep – I deserved it TNP – they say that to ASSUME makes an ASS of U and ME and I fell into that hole in a big way.

No worries, it’s human to err but unforgivable not to fess up. They are a good mob IMO – happy families is how it feels. Thank you for your kind thoughts though.

Even if CDC tallied up the deaths at 480,000, why would we believe them. 480,000 in USA isn’t gonna happen. We are being played by the media.
