Places with highest daily reported cases per capita
Seven-day average of daily new reported cases per 100,000 residents
Every year there are on average 30k deaths due to the flu. The flu season runs Dec thru March with Feb being the most deadly month followed by Dec taking the #2 position.
How many deaths have there been this year from the flu?
Hmmmm is the number so low that it is is statistically meaningless? Simple question: Why?
At least half those “cases” are false positives, but who cares?
Deaths are trending down. May be a delay in reporting due to the holidays. Will find out tomorrow and Wednesday if it’s a beginning of a trend.
Note the media typically quotes the CFR (Case Fatality Rate) but this is based upon diagnosed cases, which ignores the vast majority of cases since overall the wholw course of the pandemic most have not been confirmed, and it is also quite imprecise since deaths that are listed as due to Covid-19 include many that are presumed to be caused by that virus, but which patients are not diagnosed as having Covid. As for the CFR for the US, with 343,182 Covid-assigned deaths out of 19,781,624 confirmed positive cases then the CFR presently is 1.73.
As for what I find for an worldwide IFR, a October 5, 2020 study in the European Journal of Epidemiology volume 35, states,
The estimated age-specific IFR is very low for children and younger adults (e.g., 0.002% at age 10 and 0.01% at age 25) but increases progressively to 0.4% at age 55, 1.4% at age 65, 4.6% at age 75, and 15% at age 85.
It also states,
assessments of the case fatality rate (CFR), the ratio of deaths to reported cases, are fraught with pitfalls in gauging the severity of COVID-19.[2]
As for the US, using my own research, the CDC (Dec. 11) provides a figure of 91 Million Estimated Total Infections (Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) at which time there were about 300,000 Covid-assigned deaths, which it would figure to be a IFR or 0.33 (figures are rounded).
As for the crude mortality rate (CMR) - that of Covid deaths as a percentage of the US population - with 340,000 Covid-assigned deaths[3] as of 12–27 AM, and 32 million (figures are rounded) souls in the US[4], then that figures to be 0.0010625 CMR.
Footnotes
Follow the money. Covid diagnosis in hospitals a boat load of cash.
Worldwide Scamdemic via China and their minions in our government.
***Deaths are trending down***
I’m sure many will be disappointed with this news.
Why do you spread this fear porn?
Why do you spread this fear porn?
I guess we could take 30,000 of the 342,000 deaths. That seems doable.
Some people think its because of social distancing and wearing masks, but COVID-19 is still spreading under the same conditions. It just seems strange.
Edit “32 million souls in the US” was meant to be 332 million.
We are still learning about COVID-19, it is clear that our experts at CDC do not know what they are doing.
Have you been living under a rock?
“Have you been living under a rock?“
No - quite the opposite - I’m well aware of the fake pandemic and how the Left is fear-mongering a fairly mild virus in order to further their agenda. I’ve been aware of it from the beginning.
The real question is - why do you spread their bullshit statistics and encourage people to submit to the tyranny?
Or perhaps you still haven’t figured out it is a hoax. Maybe you are the one living under a rock.
Not a mild virus. A moderate impact, I agree. Nothing wrong with being transparent. If you are an elderly person with underlying conditions, this would concern you.
“Nothing wrong with being transparent.”
This is NOT transparency, this lies and hyperbole.
And it has been used by the Left to create joblessness and dependency.
And it has been used as a pretext for depriving us of our rights.
And it has been used as a pretext for stealing a Presidential election.
And it has been used to line the pockets of politicians and Big Pharma.
And it has been done with the help of useful idiots right here on FR.
I agree with you that Democrats took advantage of COVID-19 crisis to facilitate universal mail in ballots to their advantage and it’s our fault (hello Governor Kemp in Georgia) for allowing it to happen.
