More than 30 patients and staff at Western State Hospital are currently suffering from coronavirus — the biggest spike there to date. More than 150 have tested positive since March when the virus first hit the facility, which is Washington state’s largest psychiatric hospital.

    “More than 150 have tested positive since March when the virus first hit the facility,. . .”

    Apparently no one has died (yet) as a result. The sin of omission in China Virus reporting is that the survival rate is over 98%.

    Focus on reporting number of deaths is simply fear mongering.

      Actually there has been one death to date, so far at WSH Loren, due to Covid. Not the China Virus.

      Why don’t you come and spend one day with us, my ward, the one currently suffering. Then let me know how fearless you are.
