Tweet: Alex Berenson, former NYT reporter
Umm what? The @who now estimates that 750,000,000 people have gotten the ro? Which, at 1 million death, would put the death rate at 1 in 750 (even with overcounting, etc) - or 0.13%. That’s the lowest estimate I’ve ever seen. Say it with me: IT’S THE FLU.

3 Oct: Irish Times: Covid-19: World in ‘for a hell of a ride’ in coming months, Dr Mike Ryan says
WHO official estimates that 750m people globally have likely had coronavirus to date
by Ronan McGreevy
The Irish-born executive director of the WHO’s health emergencies programme said he was worried for the fate of the 90 per cent of people who have not had the disease.
He estimated 10 per cent as “our best guess” in relation to the global rate of infection to date and those who have antibodies for the virus.
“The problem is there is more than six billion left. Therein lies our problem,” he told webinar hosted by the Royal Irish Academy (RIA) entitled Learning from Pandemics: a Century of Experience...
He stressed though that the response to Covid-19 around the world had been “unprecedented”.
However, he criticised the lack of a global response to plans to raise some €25.6 billion (US$32 billion) for the Covid-19 accelerator programme to produce diagnostic tools and vaccines when they are available to deal with the virus. Just €3.24 billion has been raised to date...
Africa was perceived to be doing better as a result of the pandemic both because it had a much younger age profile, but also because African countries are used to epidemics and know how to manage them by dealing with them at a community level first instead of looking for medical solutions. Even during recent Ebola epidemics life continued on as normal in west Africa, he explained.
Africa was perceived to be doing better as a result of the pandemic both because it had a much younger age profile, but also because African countries are used to epidemics and know how to manage them by dealing with them at a community level first instead of looking for medical solutions. Even during recent Ebola epidemics life continued on as normal in west Africa, he explained.
“I wonder what would happen if there were 2,500 cases of Ebola in New York?” he asked.
“If you look at any metric of resilience, the industrial world has not demonstrated a lot of that over the last couple of months whereas African countries because of dint of the crisis they face day-to-day, they just get on with it. I know that sounds simplistic, but that is why they have been perceived to have done better.”...
Dr Ryan said he was “somewhat cynical or at least depressed at the prospect of whether the world will wake up and we will actually see that epidemics are yet another consequence of our poor planetary and ecosystem management...
“We have put almost no defence up against the Earth-killing things that are there such as climate change and infectious diseases.”

Its not “the flu” because Birx told us that “the flu” doesnt exist any more. It was back around the time she told us this was an exercise. Dig around, youll find it.
