It’s looking like the mortality rate is going to settle in somewhere between 0.4-0.7%. That is very significant and serious. But nowhere near the 4-5% they pitched at Trump when he agreed to the shutdown.
Hockey Stick Graph Guy and I took polar opposite positions on this. As is generally the case the truth is working out to be somewhere in between.

We have no clue what the mortality rate is. But we do know it’s not anywhere near as high as advertised.
What we know is that we have absolutely zero clue how many people are actually infected. That would take comprehensive universal mandatory testing. That isn’t being done. That wont be done. So what we do have is a number pulled out of the ass based on just what the medicals have gotten around to testing. There is no way in hell that accurate percentages can be built off of that. GIGO.
What is also known is that nearly *every* death is getting listed as “covid-19 related” even if the virus had nothing to do with the death.
And we know that there are those infected with TDS in decision making positions that are doing everything they can get away with to make matters worse.
So, at a functional level, those still throwing around the official percentages brayed from the idiot donkey mouths of the “professionals” at this time might as well just settle in and listen to NPR for their news and views.
