27. Except that is a lie. See post #22. Don't lie if you want counterpropaganda to work.

See Post #22.

Less than 1 in 500 infected would die in the US. Maybe a bit higher in Louisiana or parts of Texas.

About 1 in 30 infected would die in lower income countries.

About 1 in 5 infected in lower income countries AND the population is displaced.

Please see post #22 so you won't be lying when you get the actual facts.
