1.the Coronavirus is approximately the same in terms, of lethality, as the flu
thats complete and utter nonsense.
550 thousand dead in 1 year.
Thats at least 10 times the fatality rate of the Flu.
550,000 of this year’s dead have been labeled COVID, whether the actual primary cause of death was cancer or gunshot wounds.
“Thats at least 10 times the fatality rate of the Flu.”
10x flu = flu + 9×flu (caused by lockdowns, obesity, medical errors, shark attacks, denial of cv19 therapeutics, heart attacks, suicide)
First, those numbers are bogus and pushed by our communist overlords.
Second, life years impacted, is much more important to me than total numbers of deaths. With median death of COVID higher than the median life expectancy, this is basically a flu. The death of someone that would have died within a few months anyway, is not anywhere close to the death of a 17 year old for example.
Your ignorance is unbelievable.
Your numbers are based on deaths versus tested positive. That is an insane way of looking at statistics.
You have no way of knowing how many people are/were positive and you would have to know that or at a minimum project that to come up with reasonable death rates.
Based on the PCR test you could also include Influenza A & B in with your results since the test is so F’d up.
CDC Antibody Studies Confirm Huge Gap Between COVID-19 Infections and Known Cases
The difference implies that the virus is much less deadly than it looks, but it also makes contact tracing a daunting challenge.
Newly published antibody test results from half a dozen parts of the country confirm that COVID-19 infections in the United States far outnumber confirmed cases. The ratio of estimated infections to known cases in these studies, which the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported on Friday, range from 6 to 1 in Connecticut as of early May to 24 to 1 in Missouri as of late April.
These results confirm something we already knew: The COVID-19 infection fatality rate—deaths as a share of all infections—is much lower than the crude case fatality rate—deaths as a share of known cases. That is bound to be true when testing is limited and a virus typically produces mild or no symptoms. At the same time, the CDC’s antibody studies imply that efforts to control the epidemic through testing, isolation, quarantine, and contact tracing will not be very effective, since they reach only a small percentage of virus carriers.
Koz,
Do you lie to your patients with as much ease as you do about this?
You have shown no contrition at any step of the way.
Shame on you.
My next door neighbor’s 27yr old son came down with symptoms, tested positive for Kovid, and was told he had BOTH the flu and Kovid at the same time. You should have seen the eye rolls when they told me. What does Worldometers classify him?
Now the interesting thing is the son’s stepfather, my neighbor, is a retired career Army physician currently working for the largest hospital system in our near five million metropolitan area.
The mother is also a retired career Army surgical nurse that retired from a local civilian hospital who homeschools the son’s 10r old daughter at home since the schools were shut down during Kovid.
I have never seen them wear or take off a mask all this time or “social distance”. They don’t even have or use a UV light box!! The nurse absolutely will not take the vaccine. He had to due to hospital requirements.
It’s curious, I can only conclude that an AF “flight surgeon” is smarter than both an Army doctor and nurse. :)
Lies,dam’ lies and statistics for morons.
