“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%.”
Is there another quotation that you’ve found in there where he provides actual Wuhan Coronavirus-linked evidence for such an assumption? This one sure didn’t.
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.
