I would hazard a guess that she's referring to "case fatality rate", but I'm not a graduate of liberal brainwashing. But if you look at her social media page, she's a BLM supporter and admitted antifa, so par for the course...
why would she not divide the total cases by the # of deaths to get the death rate? oh, cause that number would be lower...
99% of the cases are mild or asymptomatic... which means, twice the cases are out there not knowing they have had it.
making the death rate even lower.
Case fatality rate (CFR) is a massively flawed measure. It’s bounced around between 5% and 3% from month to month. The actual number to be concerned about is the infection fatality rate (IFR), which gives you an actual risk of death from infection that doesn’t depend on how many cases get missed.
The IFR has been estimated between 0.64% and 0.66% for months now. The CDC’s best estimate is 0.65% (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/planning-scenarios.html).
Sorry, a death rate for an infection does not leave off all the infected, and does not involve only the “recovered” and the deaths. “Deaths” is not merely related to recovered. it is, as a proper rate, related to the total cases. That’s a death rate of about 0.035 and it is vastly overstated because the case count - who all in the population is or has been infected, is seriously UNDER counted.
It seems that epidemiological mathematics showing causative results is not Mx Perez’ strong suit.
Or, even hxx weakest suit.
Universe: COVID positive = 5671984
Sub-group: deaths, from COVID positive = 175617
Rate, Deaths per COVID positive = 175617/5671984 = 0.0306
See?
Apples and oranges.
The death RATE (in the above example) is 0.031.
This is _NOT_ a percentage.
Our wise latinx is comparing a percentage to a rate and failing by a factor of 100.
You AssHat. 180000 dead Americans in 6 months.
Not enough for you?
In your article, you quoted a figure of 0.04 of dying from covid if you contract it.
Is this 4% or 0.04%?
What about what that tw@t from tw@tter attempted to do with Let’s Shout About Math and COVID!!
Is she correct?
She is s[outing the Infected Death Rate (IFR) NOT the death (mortality) rate.
Where does she get that 39,000,000 flu figure from?
Here’s a statistic I’d like to see: what percentage of those people who have tested positive for covid-19 used masks/face coverings prior to their positive test? An inquiring mind wants to know.
There is a report out that shows a study by medical authorities on the flu and pneumonia. They took 700 patients who had been hospitalized with the flu + pneumonia. They tested all 700 and found that 18 of them tested positive for influenza. We have been lied to on many fronts, for many many years.

I’m going to pick apart Denise’s numbers a little here.
#1 - 5.6 million Covid cases - based on faulty testing, so probably very high. Or low, since people without symptoms tend to NOT get tested.
#2 - 175,000 deaths because of Covid - how do they measure a death “by” covid? If it’s not “but for the Covid, they’d be alive”, then it’s not caused by Covid. And as RN mentioned, they were listing a death as Covid-related if someone even tested positive in the 60 days prior. Give a hospital $35,000 per Covid death and they’ll be counting dead bugs as covid related.
So the number of Covid deaths is probably double the actual number right off the bat. Now, throw in how many were murdered when a handful of democrat governors purposefully placed infected people into nursing homes to push the death toll up and you really have no way of knowing.
#3 - As for the estimated count of people infected by influenza, that’s an estimate by the CDC, an entity that is chock full of democrat bureaucrats that would love nothing better than to take down Trump. So, they’ll estimate high. I don’t know of anybody that has been tested for the flu in the last few years. I haven’t been.
Garbage in, garbage out. The entire Covid plandemic is a fraud.
Oh, and Denise L Perez can stick her mask up her backside. After that, she can wear it if she wants and it will smell just like her opinions.
for later....
cases, hospitalizations and deaths are all in DECLINE. The trend is making the Dems nervous.
