And how do they know this beyond maybe 5% accuracy? Have they tested everyone in the country for Covid-19? Have they even tested everyone, accurately, who has presented with the symptoms?
The answer is no. No they haven't. Not even close. They have NO idea how many people have, or have had Wuhan-19. It literally could be in the millions who have had it which would make it far LESS deadly than influenza.
They...have...no...idea with any reasonable accuracy what the denominator is.
Without know that to a very high degree of accuracy, any number thrown out there is pure, unadulterated Bullsh!t.
In 2014, CDC "modelers" (at least 19 w/MD's & PhD's after their names) projected that between 550,000 and 1.4 million people would contract the Ebola virus in just two African countries, Liberia and Sierra Leone.[1]
Turns out, 28,616 infection cases were reported in not just Liberia and Sierra Leone but also Guinea.[2]
They were off by 95 - 98%.
After 4 months of exposure, to a virus that is said to be at least as infectious as the flu...and there are only 69 deaths and 3,774 with Wuhan-19 VS 22,000 - 55,000 deaths and 36,000,000 - 56,000,000 infected with the flu?
Insane.
Anyone saying Wuhan-19 is "at least 10x more deadly" than the flu is being dishonest and unscientific in the least and more than likely has an agenda.
Nobody knows the true denominator. Nobody. Therefore...it's impossible to say how deadly it is compared to the flu...even within a range.
“ The answer is no. No they haven’t. Not even close. They have NO idea how many people have, or have had Wuhan-19. It literally could be in the millions who have had it which would make it far LESS deadly than influenza.“
You are correct, but we do not test everyone for flu either, so there’s that.
Not to mention, the majority of those who “die from the flu” are older with serious health conditions. But their copd didn’t kill them because they had a pos flu test. Attributing those deaths to the flu is financially rewarding to a lot of industries. An entire population of people are forcefully vaccinated against it every year and still get the flu.
Yep. Biggest con ever. All to get Trump.
