From the article; If one assumes that the number of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic cases is several times as high as the number of reported cases, the case fatality rate may be considerably less than 1%. This suggests that the overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza (which has a case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%)

80,000 / 365 = 219 deaths per day flu
1307 / 30 (~days) = 44 deaths per day

Yes, but you see, they got their multi-trillion-dollar bill passed, and they’re realizing they can’t keep up the hysteria until the November election.

Also, the economic damage has probably exceeded what they planned when they concocted this scheme.

As a result of the aforementioned, now it’s time for them to start slowly backing away, saying “See, our economy-destroying precautions worked! The virus wasn’t so bad after all. Oh well, better safe than sorry!”

Wow unwarranted assumptions.... Are you joking?

China has been dealing with this since late last year. The world did not know it and their people were traveling all over the planet.

So you think it is just an “unwarranted assumption” and not possible that a good amount of people had it, recovered from it and never reported it?

Even the CDC assumes 36 million had the flu, recovered and never reported it. If the CDC would not do this, then their death count would be around 10% for the annual flu.

Thank you in advance.

Now that the absolute worse damage has been done, it’s time to walk back the criminal reports that started it all. Who cried “wolf” first? Who cried “wolf” loudest? And who broadcast it “above the fold?”

What the F? Why is this dated article posted here with the word “concedes” as if it’s new and implies Fauci said this like yesterday. What the F is up with that?

I’m thinking there needs to be some checks here or Free republic is going to lose credibility real fast. A dated article with a misleading headline that clearly implies this is a new position of Fauci. I have egg on my face with a group I sent this to. I’d like the original poster to respond....what am I missing?

“You know it had to hurt him to admit this.
We’ve been bamboozled.”

I think we were bamboozled by you. A dated article implying this is a new position of Fauci? You used the word “concedes”......

What am I missing?

What we will never know: What the death rate would have been WITHOUT the extreme measures we have taken, vs what the actual death rate is. And both sides will argue about that well into the future. Whatever...

If one assumes things since proven to be wrong, yes, alternate conclusions are available.

The number of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic cases being several times as high as the number of reported cases has been proven wrong?

Really?

Absolutely in South Korea. Pretty likely prior to March 16th in the US (I haven’t dug into that path enough to tell what the numbers would be since NYC began to go nuts).

If China’s numbers could be believed, they point towards unknown cases being at most 55% of known cases once they actually tried to isolate everyone with it (By Feb 8th).

Unlike the flu, they’ve actually been trying to find everyone with the Wuhan coronavirus.

It's another dishonest attempt by the flubros to try to convince us this is just the flu. They're in denial.

I’d like an explanation from the original poster. I don’t expect this here.

that’s different. The guy who was president then, his mom married a black guy, so it’s all good. I have no idea why that makes a difference but apparently it does.

After he screwed us into its spread across the country.

Don’t be fooled. He and the CDC/NIH are all over not only bioweapon research in the US, but even in “partnership”, for example, with the Wuhan lab.

The CDC is a massively corrupt bureaucracy that plays games with out health.

Enlightened1, what about it? Want to explain why you're posting outdated and misleading information?
