TOPICS: Education; Government; Health/Medicine; Science
KEYWORDS: casefatality; coronavirus; covid19; flu
Even with the less accurate* (see at end) Case Fatality Rate (CFR) of 1.8% according to John Hopkins (December 12, 2020), the US has a lower CFR rate than 79 other countries . Including Vietnam which was trumpeted as a model of containment. As well as countries such as Sweden, France, Canada, Ireland, Australia, Ireland, Italy, United Kingdom, Tanzania, etc. And based upon https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us and using round numbers, then 314,000 confirmed Covid-assigned deaths and 17,000,000 confirmed cases leaves us with a CFR of 1.85. Yet there are "fact checker" pages denying that the recovery rate in the US for Covid is 98% even though they use the case fatality rate.

. The CFR is not the most reliable rate since it is calculated based on the number of confirmed deaths in relation to tested/confirmed positive cases. But overall most of those tested were those with symptoms (for a while those were overall the only ones who could be tested) and thus these are the mostly likely to die, and it ignores those who were not tested but who are infected, and an estimated 80% of those infected do not have symptoms or recover as with a common cold.

In addition, the CDC allows for deaths to be listed as caused by Covid-19 even though they were not tested as such, and for which cases hospitals due obtain some more money, as even USA Today confirmed .

Then there is the infection fatality rate with is based upon the number of estimated cases of Covid-19, and which provides a more accurate estimate of the Covid-19 fatality rate.

However, finding an overall (not just per age group) IFR for the US from the main stream media is very hard, and yet that does not tell us that the current rate is. But using the IFR, researchers at the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation said that "In the United States, COVID-19 now kills about 0.6% of people infected with the virus, compared with around 0.9% early in the pandemic." Meaning the COVID-19 fatality rate is down 30% since April. (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-fatality/covid-19-fatality-rate-down-30-since-april-study-finds-idUSKBN27S39D)

*Note: As ourworldindata.org states,

In the media, it is often the “case fatality rate” that is talked about when the risk of death from COVID-19 is discussed.1 This measure is sometimes called case fatality risk or case fatality ratio, or CFR. But this is not the same as the risk of death for an infected person – even though, unfortunately, journalists often suggest that it is. It is relevant and important, but far from the whole story.

The CFR is very easy to calculate. You take the number of people who have died, and you divide it by the total number of people diagnosed with the disease. So if 10 people have died, and 100 people have been diagnosed with the disease, the CFR is [10 / 100], or 10%.

What we want to know isn’t the case fatality rate: it’s the infection fatality rate. The IFR is the number of deaths from a disease divided by the total number of cases..."

Also, here is a chart of the CDV with enhanced formatting by me:

Somebody please explain to me why deaths per population are higher in developed nations than they are in the Third World.

The fatality rate is pure BS.

It’s based on false and misleading data associated with people who died and “may” have had covid when they died. Cause of death is irrelevant if they had covid it’s a covid death..

In order to have a correct mortality rate you have to jnow exactly how many people have covid, not how many people have tested positive especially when the test results are greater than 50/50 false positive or negative.

The science they use is BS and their knowledge of statics is insanely inaccurate.

It’s all fear tactics and BS.

Ok time for happy thoughts....

I think it has to do with reporting. But that’s just an opinion.

Do underdeveloped nations have every soul headed to the hospital? I venture they don’t have many hospitals. I suppose many die at home. And many hospitals probably are just sort of clinics.

No one in the developed countries dies at home when ill , very rarely. They go to the ER. I did when I had pneumonia despite no health insurance back in the day.

So we are testing like crazy so our case rate is high. I have been tested prior to a minor outpatient surgery, and avoided a second test prior to an ENT exam by skipping the exam. And I have not had any indication of covid.

And we are all dying in hospitals who are incentivizes to list
Covid as cause of death so our death rate is high.

We do not at this point have unusual excess deaths for the year.

And while an overall IFR is hard to find, the American Council on Science and Health provides this from the CDC:
First, as we have long known, people of college age and younger are very unlikely to die. The 5-9 and 10-14 age groups are the least likely to die. (Note that an IFR of 0.001% means that one person in that age group will die for every 100,000 infected.) The 0-4 and 15-19 age groups are three times likelier to die than the 5-9 and 10-14 age groups, but the risk is still exceedingly small at 0.003% (or 3 deaths for every 100,000 infected).

Second, the IFR slowly increases with age through the 60-64 age group. But after that, beginning with the 65-69 age group, the IFR rises sharply. This group has an overall IFR just over 1% (or 1 death for every 100 infected). That’s a fairly major risk of death. (The red line in the chart marks where the “1% threshold” is crossed.) The IFR then grows substantially and becomes quite scary for people in their 70s and older. People in the 75-79 age group have more than a 3% chance of dying if infected with coronavirus, while people aged 80 and over have more than an 8% chance of dying. That’s roughly the same chance as rolling a four with two dice.

Third, the virus discriminates. Beginning with the 20-24 age group, men are about twice as likely to die as women from COVID. This pattern remains in each age group through 80+.

Second, the IFR slowly increases with age through the 60-64 age group. But after that, beginning with the 65-69 age group, the IFR rises sharply. This group has an overall IFR just over 1% (or 1 death for every 100 infected). That’s a fairly major risk of death. (The red line in the chart marks where the “1% threshold” is crossed.)

That’s roughly the same chance as rolling a four with two dice.

Third, the virus discriminates. Beginning with the 20-24 age group, men are about twice as likely to die as women from COVID. This pattern remains in each age group through 80+. (https://www.acsh.org/news/2020/11/18/covid-infection-fatality-rates-sex-and-age-15163)

It’s based on false and misleading data associated with people who died and “may” have had covid when they died. Cause of death is irrelevant if they had covid it’s a covid death.. In order to have a correct mortality rate you have to jnow exactly how many people have covid, not how many people have tested positive especially when the test results are greater than 50/50 false positive or negative.

Yes, i think I pretty much said that.

Most 3rd worlders take HCQ? OR...they’ve been exposed to EVERYTHING already and have stronger immune system?

Perhaps because wealthy societies are more likely to be mobile and get around much more. More likely to get the disease, and those who get it more likely to die, of course.

In a third world country if you die they bury you and move on. Here they pay a bonus if you list it as covid related and add it to the political mantra.

A lot of African countries have very low numbers (1200 in Nigeria in a country with more than 200 million people). Perhaps in some cases that is because of inadequate reporting.

China has 4,757 deaths? Does anyone really believe the country where the virus started (was created) there are so few deaths?

Belgium and San Marino seem to have the highest rates per 100,000 population (of course San Marino's total population is well below 100,000).

Because all these numbers are pure bullshit. You’d have to be a blind fool to believe any of this crap.

As Persevere wrote, it probably has a lot to do with lack of reporting and testing, and also people dying at home rather than in a hospital.

They also don’t do nursing homes. Over 40% of COVID deaths in developed countries are nursing home residents. In addition, spikes in developed countries tend to occur when the weather is very hot or cold and people are indoors with the heat or air conditioning running. Not so much in the way of HVAC in Third World countries.

Yemen at 29.1% mortality rate.

About right for a war zone (civil war)

Fighter & civilians getting shot and blow up while testing positive for the China Virus

Nothing skewed with those numbers.
