We are so used to the press lying to us about everything that we should also be suspicious of Internet pundits. If at all possible it is best to go to the publication that has the closest connection to real data.
Draw your own conclusions.
C.W.
Did you read the article on how the W.H.O. came up with their numbers?
Summary: The flu numbers are a guess, and the guy that came up with this did his math wrong.
Here is what they are calling symptoms.
“Symptoms can include:
Fever
Cough
Shortness of breath”
So if you have that, then they say you have Coronavirus. Never mind being allergies, a cold, heart disease or some other medical issue. Oh no it is Coronavirus according to the geniuses.

You know the above symptoms can be anything.
*Death Rate = (number of deaths / number of cases) = probability of dying if infected by the virus (%). This probability differs depending on the age group. The percentages shown below do not have to add up to 100%, as they do NOT represent share of deaths by age group. Rather, it represents, for a person in a given age group, the risk of dying if infected with COVID-19.

See post 19 on the age.
Now they are saying anyone who dies that has the symptoms is because of Coronavirus.
Never mind any other medical conditions and age that have the same symptom.
Good link!
That said the CDC’s cred is under suspicion.
