why do you spread fear propaganda? given the number of asymptomatic cases even the CDC admits the fatality rate is around 0.2%.

What fear propaganda? Did you follow the thread?

Kozak: 165,617TOTAL DEAD

Sky's That’s a .01 percent death rate.

Equal to the NORMAL SEASONAL FLU rate

Me: 164K death out of 5000K cases. That’s a death rate of 3.24% — seasonal flu is about 0.1%. So Covid is about 30 times more lethal.

The US is doing adequate testing - and that's why you see that out of the 5 million, most have no symptoms.

3.24% case death rate isn't fear - it means you gotta be careful. It's not the black plague but it isn't "just the flu bro"

The last IFR number I saw from CDC was 0.65% back in mid July (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/planning-scenarios.html Table 1). Do you have a more updated number from them?

All the recent studies (really everything I’ve seen since early June) has said the IFR is between 0.64% and 0.66% (https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.05.11.20098780v1 and https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3635047). It seems like that’s become the overall consensus from researchers around the world, but I could also have missed something.
