### Michael Levitt, Stanford Research and Media Panic

- **Episode:** [1229: Orange Tongue](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1229-orange-tongue.md)

Nobel Prize winner Michael Levitt and other Stanford researchers argue that the media is causing unnecessary panic with "utterly unreliable data." Based on projections from the Diamond Princess cruise ship, they suggest the COVID-19 fatality rate could be as low as 0.05%, lower than the seasonal flu. The hosts warn listeners not to be fooled by "spikes" in cases caused simply by increased testing.

The World Health Organization officially named the new coronavirus "COVID-19" to avoid stigmatizing specific places or animals. As the death toll in China surpassed 1,100, the WHO warned of a "grave threat" to the world. Meanwhile, the Diamond Princess cruise ship remains under quarantine off the coast of Japan with hundreds of confirmed cases.
