Clay Travis: Don’t Believe the Fear-Porn; Coronavirus Deaths Down by 90%

If you read Drudge every morning, it’s a wonder you get out of bed. By all accounts, the apocalypse is here:

“Doctors Warn July 4th Could Be Tipping Point For Outbreak”

“Official Toll 'A Substantial Undercount’”

“90 In Fort Bragg Training Test Positive”

Then there’s this:

“Patient Has Four Hour Erection”

But back on the immediate topic, the media is out of control with the fear-mongering.

Actually, there’s a lot of good news out there that you don’t hear.

The coronavirus death rate continues to decline and not by a nominal amount. It’s pretty incredible what’s going with the virus.

The death rate has dropped 90% from its apex.

“You would think this would be the number one story in all of America,” Clay Travis said on his afternoon Outkick show. “The death rate from the coronavirus has dropped by 90% compared to April 21.”

“In two months, almost all of the coronavirus deaths have disappeared,” Travis said.  “When you break it down in the larger context, that should be the story.”

Travis acknowledged that there is no way to predict what’s coming next and we all need to make smart decisions but the majority of the people testing positive now are in an age group that is favorable to beating the virus.

“Most people are overlooking is that the people who are testing positive are mostly in their 20s and 30s,” he said.  “If you are in your 20s and 30s, you are more likely to die driving to and from work, then you are to die from the coronavirus.”

As for the future, we don’t know what’s in store. The numbers could start to go up. They could stay steady. They could go down more.  It’s impossible to predict.

“What you need to know is things are infinitely better now than they were in April,” Travis said.
