Latest study from LA cases. The study suggests that 0.1 percent to 0.2 percent of people infected by the virus will die, which would make COVID-19 only somewhat more deadly than the seasonal flu.

I have to admit I was perplexed by this "study" because it seemingly contradicts what is occurring in New York. It simply didn't make any sense. Then Freeper Steve Van Doorn and others at the link offered some plausible explanations.

Link.

These tests are based on a the family of family SARS-CoV (which includes is SARS-CoV SARS-CoV-2 and MERS-CoV called Beta-CoVs. Which our body fights with two antibodies both IgG+IgM

They test the most common antibodies (IgG+IgM) and claim in the documentation they test for SAR-CoV-2 which that is part of both IgG+IgM antibody.

Anti-bodie for the The common gold is IgM. Herpes is IgG. I do not know if someone has both the common cold and herpes would give a positive reading it should though.

Commentary from Mouton, brookwood and Dynoman are also excellent and very informative.

Not really. Most people that died in New York were over 65 with pre-existing conditions. Alot of the deaths (over half) were classified Convid without any confirmation.

Next, New York is big, millions (8.33 million). Fact is, a million New Yorkers could have had the virus (of the million at least 85% were not even been aware of it). The 10% to 95% had mild symptoms and likely weren’t tested.

I honestly think that millions of people had this virus and were unaware of it, making the mortality inline with a bad strain of the flu.

“I have to admit I was perplexed by this “study” because it seemingly contradicts what is occurring in New York.”

This tweet puts the study results in an interesting perspective! Entire tweet thread worth reading.

said, "I have to admit I was perplexed by this "study" because it seemingly contradicts what is occurring in New York."

one of two reasons (that I can think of.)
1. Statistic manipulation. How they're officially recognizing those with the virus. Says they had pneumonia which is similar but never tested. This would show up with other diseases going down this year. Unless they change to models.

2. New York was given the "iFlu" vaccine or something similar. It was banned in the US but distributed hundreds of millions of vaccines in Italy and China(that I'm aware of.) iFlu was a failed vaccine that is based on "Antibody-dependent enhancement."
Which Dr Fauci talked about only briefly stating "There are diseases in which you vaccinate someone. You get infected with what you protected with and you enhance the infection"
