I posted the death rate is falsely inflated. He posted the first graphic disputing my claim.

The second graph is the death rate.

quote:

---

The amount of testing being done helps bring down the official death rate because people are being tested more frequently that have less severe cases of CV than in the early stage.

Test less severe cases... death rate drops.

And that is what we were seeing. But as you can tell from the graph at some point for some reason the death rate started to increase again. (death RATE, not number of deaths)

This is not going to be the case when more minor cases are being added to the the list of people with CV.

So either you must believe that the virus has started to be more deadly despite effective treatments being brought online at an increasing rate OR the numbers are incorrect.

The Death rate should have never increased if more minor cases are being tested. So that increase is bogus.

Rate was approaching 1%. If it rises to 2% it is a legit assumption that half of that 2% figure is of falsely inflated deaths attributed to CV.
