Fox News Reporter John Roberts Caught On Hot Mic, Says COVID Same As Flu, Reporters Are VACCINATED??

Fox News reporter John Roberts was recorded on a hot mic talking about a study out of California showing the fatality rate of COVID-19 being far lower than initially reported.

“USC and LA public county health came out with a study that found that there’s 7,000 cases in Southern California but they really believe that there are between 221,000 – to 441,000 people who are infected,” John Roberts said to the tech.

The technician: “So it was a hoax?”

“No, I don’t believe it was a hoax,” Roberts said.

“That translates to roughly 221,000 to 442,000 adults who have recovered from an infection, once margin of error is taken into account, according to the researchers conducting the study,” the Los Angeles Times reported. “The estimated infection numbers are 28 to 55 times higher than the 7,994 confirmed COVID-19 cases L.A. County had reported at the time of the study in early April.”

“It is believed to be as many as 442,000 people in LA County may have been infected, which suggests two things — it suggests that you have a lot more people out there who could be spreading the virus, but it also suggests that the case fatality rate is more in line with the 2017-2018 flu than what we’ve seen in other areas of the world,” Roberts said.
