“In early March, the case fatality rate in the U.S. was roughly three percent—nearly three out of every hundred people who were identified as “cases” of COVID in early March died from it.”
Pure utter BS. You can’t use this type of analysis on anything and get a proven result.
There’s ~331,000,000 people in the US. How many died is a percentage of that number not the number tested.
Number tested is irrelevant because of the false positives and false negatives not to mention people getting multiple tests and the biggest factor is those not tested.
COVID-19 mortality rate is insignificant when you look at many other diseases and mortality rate facts yet somehow COVID-19 is a pandemic... no more so than any other cold or flu.
Yes that is utter BS, and the author says so. 8>)
