“The confirmed cases-to-death rate for the regular flu in this country was almost 10%.”

0.1% not 10%

The “mild” cases of flu are estimated, based on stuff like purchases of OTC meds, phone calls to doctors, etc.

The cases that are too mild to be noticed are not counted - how do you tell if a person never noticed they had the flu due to no symptoms, or never had it at all? You can’t, and those are not counted. There is no comprehensive testing done for it.

On the other hand, in SK due to exhaustive contact tracing, those asymptomatic cases of CV ARE being counted. And the DCR is still 0.8%.

So you have it exactly backwards. And your flu stat was off by a factor of 100.

You should go back and read all the refutations of the flubro denier posts on the previous threads instead of clogging up this one.

No, you're wrong. The number of confirmed cases of the flu this season was a mere 222,000 with 22,000 confirmed deaths. That is 10%.

The actual number of estimated cases, however, was 36 million.

The same thing is true with Corona -- must cases are not being confirmed because most don't seek medical care.

Most people don't go to a doctor for a cold or the flu.
