More importantly, as I mentioned before, the overall death rate is meaningless because the numbers are so lopsided. Given that at least half of the deaths were in nursing homes, a back-of-the-envelope estimate would show that the infection fatality rate for non-nursing home residents would only be 0.1% or 1 in 1,000. And that includes people of all ages and all health statuses outside of nursing homes. Since nearly all of the deaths are those with comorbidities.

The CDC estimates the death rate from COVID-19 for those under 50 is 1 in 5,000 for those with symptoms, which would be 1 in 6,725 overall, but again, almost all those who die have specific comorbidities or underlying conditions. Those without them are more likely to die in a car accident. And schoolchildren, whose lives, mental health, and education we are destroying, are more likely to get struck by lightning.

Almost like the flu...

What the Fauci?

0.1 is flubros territory.

I wish I knew how to undo all the trauma the media and Fauci, et. al. have wreaked on several people I know. Several family members and several friends are so scared to come out of their foxholes. They are sure that because they may have conditions like asthma (as a child) or mitral valve prolapse that they are forever to stay at their homes, otherwise they will die a most horrible death. Several of these haven’t even ventured out to the grocery store even, or to get take out from a restaurant. It’s so sad. I don’t even know what to say to them anymore. I have the feeling that the last time I saw these different people was the last time I’ll actually get to see them in person and even give a hug. Some I saw before Christmas for a holiday party, and others a week before all hell broke loose in late February. No more family get togethers, no friendly visits. I blame the Dems, the media (redundant, yes), and that medical bureaucrat, “Dr” Fauci.

Yeah, the nursing home rates were horrifying. Otherwise, not bad numbers.

OTOH, flu is a terrible curse and we don’t need another one, courtesy of the CCP.
If the flu was a ‘new’ disease we’d go all out to stop it.

I’m hopeful that this pandemic will lead to a cure for colds and flus. That would be GREAT!

Too busy with Orange man stories.

After all, what’s more important? /s

And for this the FauXi destroyed millions of American livelihoods and small businesses, wasted Trillions of taxpayer dollars and further attempted to take down Trump.

He's in this up to his grandstanding eyeballs.

Demand the immediate arrest of the micro-Nazi A-hole, and liquidate all of his assets....individual and class-action lawsuits should be forthcoming.
