Article explaining the details further
Looking for some math help here. Quotes from the linked article:
quote:
Flu toll 1,000 – Covid toll 10,000
So, they matched up the one percent CFR of Covid with the incorrect 0.1 percent CFR of flu. Suddenly, Covid was going to be ten times as deadly.
If influenza killed 50, Covid was going to kill 500. If influenza killed a million, Covid was going to get 10 million. No wonder Congress, then the world, panicked. Because they were told Covid was going to be ten times worse than influenza.
So far so good..
quote:
They could see three million deaths in the US alone, and 70 million around the world.
Wait, what? CDC estimates that 34,200 people died in the 2018-2019 flu season. They haven’t released their official estimate for 2019-2020 but it should be similar based on the estimated range that they have released.
Last time I checked, 34k times 10 is 340k, not 3 million.
