did anyone ever say that it was very deadly? From the very beginning it was stated that 80% of those affected would have the symptoms of a mild cold if at all and about 15% would have harsh symptoms and the remaining require hospitalization and unfortunately death.

Unfortunately, some friends of mine have passed. 3 were very old, one had cancer :(

There are many that die of the flu every year and we don’t close the schools and the nation’s economy.

The study projected that something like 3% of the U.S. population could have already been infected. That is an extrapolation but not an unreasonable one.

And we are talking about right now when we have had nearly 40,000 deaths. Note that the U.S. population is about 330,000,000 and 3% of that is about 10,000,000. That is the guess being made about how many have been infected.

If so the death rate is about 40,000/10,000,000 = .004 or .4%. That could be but it is still very high. I hope the estimates of .001 turn out to be right.

Fauci said it was 10x deadlier than the flu.

Yes: Covid Act Now used Italy as the basis for their models (I have no proof other than the trends and their willful “modification” of their projections sans mea culpa).

Covid Act Now led the hysterical charge of this “dangerous” virus, backed up only in part by WHO’s elevated number.

Their site was officially-launched on 3/21 and the first “shutdowns” were initiated on 3/23.

I have been calling for a federal investigation of Covid Act Now.

Your comments reference the rational thinkers among us. Very sorry for your loss.

It’s almost all old people which is why the average age is 80.
