The case fatality rate is around 20%, making it ten times more deadly than Covid-19.
The case fatality rate of Covid-19 is a whopping 2%?!
I had no idea!
Regards,
Not quite sure what’s being said as regards testing, but I am highly confident that I understood that dead people are dead and that last year 25% more people over the age of 65 died than died in a typical year pre covid. That happened no matter what PCR tests said.
I have noticed stories like this somehow get grabbed and used to justify a bizarre opinion that there is no virus and that it’s all a conspiracy to get vote by mail. There’s never really an explanation of how killing off elderly in the UK and Russia and Italy and all sorts of other places was done to ensure that the US election would be vote by mail.
No make no mistake here. President Trump won that election and the only reason the numbers did not bear that out is vote-by-mail permitted counterfeit ballots getting into the counting batch. Tens of thousands of ballots were mailed from addresses that were never verified. It had nothing to do with Dominion this or that. It was strictly left-wing zealots in critical locales who created ballots with nothing marked on them but Biden and they got counted. The virus enabled this to happen. It was monumental bad luck for President Trump that the virus arrived when it did.
Not the first time a disease dictated history.
790,000 (deaths) divided by 49.3 million (infections) = 1.6%
The USA Covid Case Fatality Rate for ESTIMATED infections is:
790,000 (deaths) divided by 140 million (infections) = 0.56%
The three most current USA TOTAL case estimates are 140 million. Those estimates come from the CDC, the Cleveland Clinic, and a medical lab in Boston I was not familiar with.
One note - in the USA, the influenza case fatality rate is calculated for SYMPTOMATIC cases only.
A severe flu season has a CFA around 0.2%.
The Covid case totals never explain if they include ALL positive cases, or just symptomatic cases.
Thus, comparing Covid CFAs to influenza CFAs may not be meaningful.
