The new numbers would also significantly drive down the county’s COVID-19 fatality rate, which with 295 deaths officially stands at around two percent. At the upper bound of the researchers’ new estimates, the death rate would fall to around 0.1 percent, roughly in line with that of the seasonal flu.

The saving grace of this incessant yammering for testing is it is going to help prove out the actual infection rate in the population, which is going to show as with this study, a dramatically lower mortality rate.

Watch for the MSM to then pivot 180° from screaming for “more testing” to screaming “why did you overreact and shut everything down”.

The over all rate for Florida for testing positive came in at 9.2% last night, in total. Headline this AM, Deaths rise to 1055.

Looking at the numbers, the death rate of those who test positive is 3% (1055/30839). That is a rate of 3 of each 100 testing positive from a universe of individuals who had symptoms and comorbitity issues. This rate has been dropping of late. 1055 represents about 005% of the entire population of the state. IOW, you have almost an equal chance of hitting the state lottery. Lastly, the rate of positive tests shows the proportion of those testing positive now is dropping.

Unfortunately the naysayers want the number of new cases to drop to zero before they feel safe. At that point, it will be we don't feel safe as a second round could come at any time. So, unless we plan on keeping the country closed till the end of time, we better plan to protect those deemed most vulnerable (nursing homes, in hospitals or severe comorbitity) as best as possible. The rest can stay home if they deem it is in their best interest, just not on my dime.

Here in the United States, 939,249 confirmed cases, 53,934 deaths.

Hmmmmm... 53,934/939,249 times 100 is what? I get 5.7%, you get around 2% and are pulling for around 0.1%

Show your work, please? I'd love for you to be right...

Texas has 1 of 400 categorized with Covid dying. Why would there be 1 in 20 in other states? This is from the numbers posted last week. Why lie? They also had other health issues. Those that were confirmed are about 1 percent of Texans. There is moey, power, and snake trails attahed to thos virus.
