And the problem is that we have no idea the total number of people that has it.
So why is there a “mortality rate” calculation being made when people will just as assuredly tell you that you have to multiply the number of people with it according to the CCP by x10, x100, or whatever?
If 10x more people have it, and the confirmed dead is the same, then doesn’t that nose-dive the mortality rate?
Did you not read the post? You didn’t, did you?
This is why I *specifically* compared to another time China (assholes!) lied to give some perspective.
But whatever. I think you are one of those guys who just wants to be contrarian on the internet for the purpose of puffing themselves up.
My post stands on it’s own.
I would multiply the no. of dead by 10 as well; they are certainly lowballing their mortality numbers.
“If 10x more people have it, and the confirmed dead is the same, then doesn’t that nose-dive the mortality rate?”
You’re assuming the confirmed dead number is accurate, when it is just as likely to be bogus as the confirmed infected number. Probably by the same factor.
There is empirical evidence that there are many, many more dead. The Chinese quarantined whole cities and shut down their whole economy for what is clearly not just a case of the sniffles, or the flu.
