Video: California Doctors Debunk Covid-19 Media Hysteria
By Dr. Dan Erickson and Dr. Artin Massihi, May 03, 2020
Two
doctors, Dan Erickson and Artin Massihi, co-owners of Accelerated
Urgent Care, which offers Bakersfield’s only private walk-in COVID-19
testing site, held a press conference on April 22 to report their
conclusions about COVID-19 test results. The doctors said that 12% of
Californians tested so far have been infected. Extrapolating that to the
general population, they estimated that as many as 5 million
Californians have likely contracted the virus. They then used the total
number of COVID-19 deaths statewide (roughly 1,200, as of last week) to
calculate a death rate of just 0.03% — similar to the average death rate
from seasonal flu. The media conference is in Bakersfield in Kern
County, California.
