These facts may completely reorient how you view both the virus itself and the government-leftist response to the virus.
I learned two facts today, one about COVID’s survival rate and the other about eye-opening medical information hidden within the bowels of the CDC. Both surprised me and they may surprise many of you as well. Admittedly, I had my suspicions about the survivability of COVID and have known for a long time (courtesy of my Brazilian hairstylist) that Ivermectin is a good treatment provided people receive it early enough.

Dr. John Ioannidis, the Stanford University “Professor of Medicine (Stanford Prevention Research), of Epidemiology and Population Health and by courtesy, of Statistics and of Biomedical Data Science” was curious about actual infection fatality rates (IFRs) for COVID. Extrapolating from confirmed cases, he concluded that, around the world, more than half a billion people have probably been infected with COVID.
Using that metric, Dr. Ioannidis concluded that most locations around the world have an IFR that’s less than 0.20%. Additionally, protecting vulnerable populations and treating people with appropriate medicines may further reduce mortality rates.
However, as we’ve also learned, COVID does not attack all people equally. When Democrat governors, beginning with Cuomo, decimated their elderly by warehousing COVID-infected people in old-age homes, we saw that the elderly are the single largest vulnerable population. Dr. Ioannidis, therefore, decided to look at age-related survival rates and he came up with survival numbers that, if more widely known, would bring this mad panic to an end.
At PJMedia, there’s a neat little chart summarizing the bottom-line survivability numbers, along with a more detailed discussion of Dr. Ioannidis’s conclusions:

over 2 million people churned thru our hospitals. 670K died.
And you also know as a cold hard fact that every single one of them actually had COVID AND was the cause of death?
Don’t be a naive moron.
Even with their bogus numbers, people aren’t dropping like flies, but the propaganda has been so effective, and the average person is such a complete imbecile, that they’ve managed to bring us to this point, to this absolute madness and tyranny, easily.
But your calculation assumes that all 73,000,000 get infected with WuFlu.
Yeah, if only we’d accepted absolut government control and tyranny decades ago, just think of how many lives would have been saved...
So many that they'd have to kill some of us to make room for them. ; )
The Chinese social credit score is coming...with big tech advancing the way, it won’t even need governments but they’ll be supporting anyway.
Say the wrong thing? Your Amazon store gets shut down. Your bank account gets closed. Your flight reservation is denied. Automated with AI. They’re all ‘private companies’ ya know. Yeah...but they’ve never had access to such a wealth of connected backend data that is shared between them.
I don’t see a way to stop it.
You need to move a percentage TWO decimal points before multiplying.
73,000,000 X 0.999973 = 72,998,029 survivors
73,000,000 minus 72,998,029 = 1,971 deaths
So, if 100% of 0-17 year olds got infected, the estimated death toll would be 1,971.
Sorry - your math is wrong...
You need to move a percentage TWO decimal points before multiplying.
I recall encountering a math moron many years ago on a lesser forum. He was similarly math stupid.
Is that you Floogy?
Mine was a correction in the math as stated. Not an assumption.
459 dead children is also incorrect.
73,000,000 X .000027 = 1,971 dead children
That, of course, requires a 100% infection rate, which would never happen.
Our government cares.
That’s why the want you to get the shot.
If you survive being aborted,killed by a criminal gun owner, get killed by an illegal, get killed by a jihadist, get killed in a war that shouldn’t be...oh, and being vaxxes.
My point is that we don't have an infection rate to apply to the age group population to complete the total death calculation.
For now, I guess we'll have to use the CDC figure posted by JaguarXKE in post 30:
...the number of deaths of under 19, per CDC, from 1 Jan 2020 till now is 470.
Math is hard, harder for some.
“Argumentum ad passiones”.
“The 70+ group death rate was probably much higher because they were much more likely to be trapped in nursing homes or stuck on a ventilator.”
Not that much higher for those above 70. But in that group, 40% die in nursing homes (thanks to NY, WA, and several other killing states).
It is helpful to remember that USA seasonal influenza has an average fatality rate of 0.1% - 0.2%.
It is also helpful to remember that the CDC does not count COVID deaths the same way it counts influenza deaths.
Influenza + Pneumonia = 10% to 20% Influenza deaths
COVID + Pneumonia = 100% COVID deaths!
Globalists have had better results with politically correct CV19 pandemic than they’ve had with politically correct global warming imo.
Insights welcome.
The swtupid is strong with this one!
But, the COVID hysteria is being used to destroy individual liberty and freedom. The lives lost in the US Civil War, WWI and WWII should not be in vain.
Every life lost is indeed a tragedy. Every life lost is a loss for our humanity:
For Whom the Bell Tolls
by
John Donne 1623
No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thine own
Or of thine friend’s were.
Each man’s death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.
Yeah. And that's probably too high by an order of magnitude.
