It was a hoax to impact elections.
3% is still 3x more than the average flu death rate of 1%.
I’m willing to bet this ends up closer to 2% when the final tallies are made.
Assuming we actually get the truth out of this. This was absolutely a manufactured crisis.
Geez a CDC estimate
What next. Not the flu not a hoax
F@#$ Fauci and his “ten times the mortality rate of the flu” horsecrap. I knew from the start that he was a liar.
Of f’n course it has a low death rate. Plandemic.
last week's "best estimate" or
next week's "best estimate"?
The true rate will eventually be determined as 0.03%.
The divisor is FAR higher than current testing rates indicate.
0.3%...and 90% of them were either over 80 or were residents of a long term care home.
Quick. Put more COVID patients in nursing homes! We need to up the death count immediately to make Trump look bad.
Biggest hoax ever. Never give them an inch of your freedoms again or they will take a miles worth. Lesson learned.
This CDC post is refuted by the article which the CDC cites as the basis for their “scenarios”.
The CDC scenarios cite only one source for the mortality rate
https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.01.20050138v1.full.pdf
And this source says the mortality rate is 2%
Line 47 of the source-
“Pooled probability of COVID-19-related death was 0.02 (95% 45CI: 0.02, 0.03). “
Thus, the only source for the “scenarios”, which is based on a summary of dozens of articles, one of which summarizes the data on more than 58,000 Covid cases, states that the mortality rate is 2%.
Re: John Ioannidis preprint study
Dishonest research is the nail in the coffin for Ioannidis.
He cites a serological study of the Netherlands.
https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-25862/v1
It finds a seroprevalence of 2.7%, in other words 2.7% of the population is infected with Covid19. There are 17 million people in the Netherlands.
https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/netherlands-population/
Therefore the study suggests that 459,000 people in the Netherlands were infected. The date of the study was April 30th. Ioannidis states that only 344 people have died of Covid in the Netherlands, referencing the date of 4/15. However it is now May 21st and 5,775 Covid deaths have occurred in the Netherlands. 5775 / 459000 = 1.2%. He is ignoring the fact that when you get Covid, you don’t die ON THE SAME DAY YOU ARE INFECTED. You fight and fight for about 2-3 weeks and then you die. Truly a monstrous distortion. My disgust for the Ioannidis scum is hard to describe.
He also suggests the in NYC the “marginalized” are the ones dying. No one in America is “marginalized” any more than in any other country. There are “marginalized” people in West Virginia. A scientific paper should not be using racially charged political terms like this. As a scientific paper this is a piece of horse manure.
He suggest there is a “more aggressive viral clade” or strain of the virus in NYC! Oh sure! See, there is the fun and harmless Covid which has the low fatality rate, and then there is another one in NYC, which is the only one that can kill people.
RIGHT, UH HUH,
STFU John Ioannidis.
Gericide by any other name would smell as evil.

Flu Season That’s Sickened 26 Million May Be at Its Peak
Feb. 21, 2020, at 9:00 a.m.
The percentage of deaths attributed to flu and pneumonia currently is 6.8%, which is below the epidemic threshold of 7.3% , according to the CDC.
This disease is 3 to 4 times more deadly than the seasonal flu.
By most accounts it's significantly more contagious.
Unlike the flu we don't have effective treatment drugs.
Unlike the flu we don't have a vaccine.
Given this I don't see how what we did was an overreaction.
L8r
They had to MURDER elderly people to inflate the death number...will ANYONE pay the penalty for this?
It assumes an overall symptomatic case fatality rate (CFR) of 0.4 percent, roughly four times the estimated CFR for the seasonal flu. The CDC estimates that the CFR for COVID-19 falls to 0.05 percent among people younger than 50 and rises to 1.3 percent among people 65 and older. For people in the middle (ages 50–64), the estimated CFR is 0.2 percent.
Did I just read that right? Under 50 fatality rate is ONE HALF the overall CFR of flu? Now I get that's worse than the flu-for-under-50. But holy SHITE!
I don’t know about the rest of y’all but I think models are a bunch of crap. Starting with the ‘global warming’ models, all the models, including likely this one are wrong.
The world’s reaction to the CCPvirus would have been very different if the models had been right.
Models are correct only after whatever they were modeling has past and adjustments have been made to the models based on actual results, a little of which we’re seeing here. This whole episode has been a farce.
Some of us, anyway. That excludes the Fearpers here.
Yep.
