Don't get your speedo in a knot Easy. I'm merely pointing out the fact these same vets, currently about 300,000 of them, are in far greater danger from the CV at their age, than from serving in WWII. It may not compute using flubro logic, but it's a real threat to them, and a shame if we should make lite of the danger to them, given their sacrifice to the nation.

Your ironic meme (you post it, you own it), is trite and actually a bizarre attempt for comedic value long exhausted on us here. It's not cool Easy, and neither or your failed attempts at explaining away the numbers.

You are and have long been, a fear porn merchant, Karen, and your efforts in that vein are long exhausted on us here.

From Dad’s notes...

The ratio you post looks like CFR (Case Fatality Rate), which is the ratio of serious cases being treated to the number that died.

The missing information is that the “cases” is only a very small percentage of the total number infected.

What is important is the IFR (Infection Fatality Rate), which is the ratio of total number of infections to the number that died.

Several serious analyses have been done that indicate the IFR for Covid-19 in the USA is well below 0.3% and maybe as low as 0.1% roughly equivalent to the IFR for influenza.

The CFR being touted as the “death rate” is widely used by the “fear mongers” to keep people terrified and willing to support their power grab.
