re: The US COVID-19 fatality rate is now officially under 4%

Someone in my Immediate family had it and their spouse is a Dr. who’s been using the hydoxi and Z-PAC from the get go to not only treat but in a preventative capacity. They never told us he had Covid, they’ve been visiting with us the entire time they’ve been drinking from the same glass in some cases and they sleep with their two youngest children at night. Nobody else has tested positive in the family and some of us who’ve been living our lives normally have been tested multiple times just to be safe. This thing is total bullshite.

We no longer care about fatalities, vents, healthcare system capacities, flattening the curve, symptoms, or any of that shite.
The left has decided that as long as people have it, we need to lock down the country.

I refuse to believe it’s 3.99%. Real deal Covid is probably less than 1%

Too bad Jon Taffer is leading the charge on how to handle this situation

And even lower when you take out people who are old enough to die of anything and people who came in to be treated at deaths door.

We have hospitals with patients in the hallways waiting for beds during flu season. No one blinks.

This is where we have been taken to and where they want to keep people.

But don't those numbers mean the flu is way, way less deadly? So why would we shut down for that?

He said if we go by cases. Read much?
45 million cases. If we went by cases every year for the flu, we would always be shutdown.

Nobody cares about death rate... fear mongering has moved to cases.
Houston Mayor and Judge Made the comment yesterday that “we need to flatten the curve again” and “we opened too early, we need to remain closed like the other states that aren’t seeing spikes”
Didn’t mention Cali though... who was one of the last to start reopening and are now going back to Phase 1

They shut down bc how deadly it was...death rate
Now tgat we are testing more than double of the next country, the death rate is shrinking and proving not as deadly as believed (sample size)..now the argument is CASE rate. Why I compared CASEs to the flu.
Btw, our hospitals/ICUs get overwhelmed every year from flu and we don’t blink.
CDC already admitted counting flu and unknown in covid death total. So the total is flawed and rate would be lower. How many died bc of nursing home fiasco?
I’m not down playing the seriousness of covid, I’m pointing out the flawed logic and hyperbole.
Also, those flu numbers are with a vaccine. Since there isn’t a covid vaccine, shouldn’t we be praising high cases and dropping death rate...Herd Immunity!?

It's officially under 100% too. By how much? Mmmm, about 99.6% under.
Posted on 7/13/20 at 4:09 pm to TigerStripes30
Last week: "Based on death certificate data, the percentage of deaths attributed to pneumonia, influenza or COVID-19 (PIC) decreased from 6.9% during week 26 to 5.5% during week 27, representing the eleventh week of a declining percentage of deaths due to PIC. The percentage is currently below the epidemic threshold but will likely change as more death certificates are processed, particularly for recent weeks." From LINK

That's much higher than I thought. I thought it was less than 1%.

You realize this fatality rate and the IFR are completely different, right?

You have a known numerator and just make up whatever denominator you want. Nobody else knows what it is either.
and actually the numerator is being manipulated too.

Actually, the death count due to covid infection (from covid, not with covid) is 51,992, per the CDC, making the death rate 1.50%.

Covid deaths in 2020, per the CDC, are being outpaced by influenza/pneumonia deaths.
