Re: “New York City - 21.2% COVID infection rate”

Let’s do the math...

NYC Population - 8.4 million

Number of Infections - 8,400,000 X 21.2% = 1.78 million

NYC COVID Deaths - 16,388

NYC Case Fatality Rate - 16,388 divided by 1,780,000 = 0.9%

Less than 1% of COVID infected persons in NYC die.

When you factor in the fraudulent accounting process for COVID-19 fatalities, the CFR in NYC is no more deadly than a serious influenza season.

if you think .9% is low risk like the flu (.01%) then roll the dice. If I put 10 revolvers in front of you and only one had a bullet in it, would you pick one and put it up to your head and pull the trigger?
But at least you got the numbers right.
You get wrong the “serious influenza season” - there is no flu season that has that kind of death rate since 1918.
