Professor Klaus Püschel, head of forensic medicine in Hamburg, explains about Covid19: "This virus influences our lives in a completely excessive way. This is disproportionate to the danger posed by the virus.
And the astronomical economic damage now being caused is not commensurate with the danger posed by the virus. I am convinced that the Corona mortality rate will not even show up as a peak in annual mortality."
In Hamburg, for example, "not a single person who was not previously ill“ had died of the virus: "All those we have examined so far had cancer, a chronic lung disease, were heavy smokers or severely obese, suffered from diabetes or had a cardiovascular disease.
The virus was the last straw that broke the camel’s back, so to speak. "Covid-19 is a fatal disease only in exceptional cases, but in most cases it is a predominantly harmless viral infection.“
In addition, Dr. Püschel explains: "In quite a few cases, we have also found that the current corona infection has nothing whatsoever to do with the fatal outcome because other causes of death are present, for example a brain haemorrhage or a heart attack. Corona in itself is a "not particularly dangerous viral disease“, says the forensic scientist. He pleads for statistics based on concrete examination results.
“All speculations about individual deaths that have not been expertly examined only fuel anxiety.“
Contrary to the guidelines of the Robert Koch Institute, Hamburg had recently started to differentiate between deaths "with the" and "by the" coronavirus, which led to a decrease in Covid19 deaths.
The official US Covid19 projections so far have overestimated hospitalisations by a factor of 8, ICU beds needed by a factor of 6.4, and ventilators needed by a factor of 40.5.

If they look at the Receiver Operating Characteristic curves they can know HOW MANY False Positives there are. They don’t know WHO but they do know how many. How many “Asymptomatic” are actually false positives?
Excellent information. I am livid about what the extreme overreaction has done to our country.
Fog of War.
Fixed it.
Do you understand ROC theory? It’s so basic I assumed everyone with a “Medical Opinion” understood this stuff.
great resource.

In case you need a little “refresher”.
So am I.
People’s lives are being destroyed.
When this is over you can bet that Nancy and her cadre will be pushing communist solutions that will prevent a repeat of this pandemic.
So you did understand the words sensitivity and specificity have actual mathematical definitions, right?
...and of course no one has to explain to you the outworkings and ramifications of Type I and Type II errors.
