Peshawar, Pakistan, from April to August 2020. ICU mortality 75-94%
The overall mortality was 77%. Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) was administered to 61.8% of patients. Mortality was higher for invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) (93.6% vs 66.7%, p<0.001) and for over 60 years (87.3% vs 72.3%, p=0.019). Mortality without co-morbidities was 75.2%.
AND, further down, same link:
“Studies have reported nearly 100% mortality amongst patients on invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) during the peak of the pandemic [10]. Mortality among patients on IMV was 88.6%, 97%, 43%, 31%, 88.8%, 22%, and 40%-60% in New York [7], China [11], UK [12], Spain [13], Australia [14], and India [15], respectively. With time, the mortality in ICUs declined to around 40% [4]. In the early days of the outbreak, there were no international guidelines for managing patients admitted to the ICU, and the rationing of resources based on local policies in overwhelmed ICUs might have added to divergent data”

Less scary numbers:
BY CFR, May 2020: overall CFR was 6.25% USA on May 15, 2020, according to OurWorldData. By April, 2021, it had dropped to 1.8% and 1.61% in Oct, ‘21. The drop is in spite of the introduction of Delta in approx May/Jun 2021. A reduction not caused by Delta getting weaker.

In one report from CDC looking at 3/1-8/1, 2020, 20% excess mortality:
Between March 1 and August 1, 2020, 1,336, 561 deaths occurred in the US, a 20% increase over expected deaths based on death data from the National Center for Health Statistics (Figure).

Refined to ‘covid only’ deaths 2020 - 11% (after 2 months of vaccinations and 6 months of refining treatment):
According to a CDC report from April 2021:
In 2020, approximately 3,358,814 deaths† occurred in the United States. From 2019 to 2020, the estimated age-adjusted death rate increased by 15.9%, from 715.2 to 828.7 deaths per 100,000 population. COVID-19 was reported as the underlying cause of death or a contributing cause of death for an estimated 377,883 (11.3%) of those deaths

Anyone who promotes going back to those days of having no defenses, of no vaccines, no monoclonals, no tocilizumab, no testing, no ongoing research, and to the days of shortages of PPE, beds, O2 and personnel that existed last year, and persist this year, or who insists on transferring personal responsibility onto vaccinating kids, is off their bleeping rocker.
You forgot the proven efficacy of Ivermectin (over 60 studies), particularly if given early before the virus has multiplied.
Some cynics elsewhere on the web started calling the coof virus "The Boomer Remover".
How much of the drop in fatality rates, is due to
a) the "burning up the combustible fuel" of disproportionately killing the most susceptible first
b) the spread to a much larger pool of a much less vulnerable population
Note that April 2020 was before widespread introduction of the jabs.
Did you cycle through the .gif of the Johns Hopkins time series data across many countries before and after the jabs, from ~Jan 2020 up to ~Oct 2021 (in other words, not cherry picking any small time slice coincidentally favorable to any predetermined/desired conclusion) ?
“According to a CDC report from April 2021:

A couple of notes.
Increase in age-adjusted death rate is 113.5 per 100,000 population.
There are (roughly, this is a ballpark figure for “rough and ready” conclusions) 350,000,000 people in the US.
So 350,000,000/100,000 = 350,000/100 = 3500 hundred thousands in the US.
So the increase in deaths in the US for that time frame is
113.5 x 3500 = 397, 250 (increase).
The % of that due to COVID (underlying or contributing)
is 11.3% of 397,250.
or just shy of 50,000 deaths — 44889.25.
One might make the case even more strongly by looking at the actual deaths by age cohort due to COVID.
I don’t have the link on me, but the CDC earlier showed that 78% of the dead from the coof, were over age 65, IIRC.
Or 22% of the deaths are working age (at max, discounting people under 18).
which works out to (combining with the 44889 above) 9875 people in the working population who died of the coof over and above the expected death rate.
This is not sufficient grounds to lock down the entire country and force hundreds of millions to get an experimental gene therapy.
