re: Dr. Anthony Fauci now says COVID-19 mortality rate closer to "very bad flu"

quote:

If one assumes that the number of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic cases is several times as high as the number of reported cases, the case fatality rate may be considerably less than 1%.



I don't think anyone who seriously looks at the numbers we've seen in March believes this anymore.

Actually, Dr. Birx said that yesterday.

She also said that this will be able to be controlled through test and trace.

Dr. Fauci said we will have therapies that mitigate covid in a month or month and a half. But we need to keep using social distancing for a few more weeks to give us time to get there.

The UK model that came out yesterday from the world's top viral modeler said 1/2 the people in the UK already had or have it and estimated up to 20k uk deaths before herd immunity.
