It would be nice if the Trump Administration would announce these numbers in press briefings- The left will go mental because it undermines their fear mongering
More like 97%. About 7 million cases in a population of 300 million..
The kids need to STOP getting tested. Invasion of privacy.
Not a sane reason to shut down the economy and force millions of healthy people into utter dispair and bankruptcy.
Read a blurb yesterday about Tcell herd immunity.
It was kind of fascinating and basically means her immunity reached sooner with less infected people.
Doc, are you recommending vaccination, or would that depend upon the circumstances of approval of the vaccine?
That is 1/20 IF they get infected. Sensible precautions can go a long ways toward avoiding infection.
Also, there is no explanation of the effect of the HCQ triple therapy or the Ivermectin quadruple therapy on Infection Fatality Ratio. They don’t tell us what therapies were used on the people who died. Given the improvements in therapies, the actual IFR rates WITH THE BEST THERAPY could be well below these reported numbers.
“So you are ok with the death of 1/20 of our elderly population. Wow. What a heart of gold.”
If you are going to lecture you should have your facts correctn
We have had two deaths in my County attributed to the virus. Now it’s not a large County, maybe 50,000 people.
However one of the deaths was an elderly woman with terminal cancer who was projected to live 12 months. She died in month 11, and was classified as a virus death.
Hey, you have no idea how many here will NEVER give up their face diapers?! They are the new normal for them.

My guess is that it’s the same number of “Freepers” still butthurt because Please Clap didn’t win the nom so they could loose with dignity, the “concerned conservatives”, and the “tru cons”, and the shills paid to be here by the various leftist orgs.
Not sure that you would want PDJT announcing that COVID-19 is averaging 8x as serious/deadly as normal flu...would cause more “Karen behavior” and lockdown behavior by state governors.
Normal influenza averaged an IFR of between 0.096% and 0.176% over the past 10 flu seasons...the CDC IFR numbers mentioned in this thread give an overall IFR (all age groups) of 1.48%. (8 times as high as the worst flu season in the last 10 years).

After talking with my NP earlier in the week, I am inclined to get the vaccine sooner rather than later, depending on the information available to review at the time of release
I like her because she is open to new ideas (e.g. my using KardiaMobile 6L 6 lead ECG), as long as we both understand the strengths and weaknesses. She’s a gem. Plus she gave me a free 10ml vial of Lantus for a cat (haha!)
Rightly or wrongly, she is of the viewpoint that we have overreacted with a “one size fits all” approach to lockdowns re: COVID-19.
Right. These are best estimate numbers. Not actual numbers.
Meaning best estimate as in best case scenario. There are also worse scenarios. The article is wrong.
I wonder what Fmouthi has to say about this.
No the other deaths were caused by covid and exacerbated by the underlying conditions.
