Why would the CDC want to trick people into thinking COVID is worse than it is? Not everything is a conspiracy
For the same reasons they go out and study shite like gun violence which has nothing to do with disease? They’re a political hack organization seeking funding.

The rate of death for people with COVID-19 compared to the flu is also stark. According to the CDC, 35.5 million people likely got the flu last year. That is a death rate of only .1%.
Coronavirus has infected, at least, 742,459 people in the United States. That means it has a death rate of over 5%, which is more than 50 times the flu if its current death rate holds
So, an estimated 48.2 million people have had COVID-19 in the US. That’s roughly a 0.09% death rate.... like the flu.

200+ kids under age 9 died last year due to the flu, how many have died to to Covid? I believe that number is 0

quote:Except that the wild assumption required in order to extrapolate that rate does not fit with the NYC data. NYC is a very large sample size, and the data shows that anything less than 0.1% death rate is an impossibility. And that lower-bound number gets higher by the day.

In addition, I also believe that there are usually very few recorded confirmed flu deaths, and those estimates are usually revised upwards by a many as 10 times the confirmed death totals.

When you are 75 have had 15 heart attacks and are in hospice and die-you died of COVID
Yalls deflections are nonsensical.

What an ignorant statement.

Pretty silly to count from the very beginning
No it’s not. Again, why people continue to use unsubstantiated estimations for the flu and do the exact opposite with COVID-19 in terms of total cases. Then, with deaths, flu deaths are intentionally undercounted and the exact opposite happens with COVID-19. If we’re to have a rational conversation, then we need to have a reliable statistical method o use uniformly between the two.

quote:The Stanford study, if they adjusted the testing reliability correctly (90% were likely false positives; potentially 100%), there were only 3 times as many infected than the confirmed totals at the time. Maybe as many as 5-6 times at most.

The CDC has exaggerated flu numbers for years and now we can all see what 30-60k deaths/ year really look like.
CDC playbook to increase flu vaccinations
Just google “Flu deaths exaggerated” and spend some time reading

25 thousand? Um.
Number 1: that didnt happen in a month.
Number 2: we usually lose around 50 thousand every year to seasonal influenza.
You are wrong on all counts, sorry.

In fact, I can’t recall a school closing locally for the flu, but we did have a lot more snow days during peak flu season.
