CDC and Infection Fatality Rate

Some trolls weren’t meant to last. Let them expire on their own, please.

0.04% fatality rate. This number has been thrown around since February IIRC.

I don’t have time to go through them today in order to congratulate the people who were correct the whole time. I’m off to the skies this weekend.

That % would mean most of the US population has already been infected. I don’t believe that is the case.

Although, there’s growing evidence that this virus was here much earlier than February and March. I don’t think we’ll really ever know how many people have had it.

0.4%, not 0.04%.

Hush now. The 0.04% had real potential.

Actually Fauci in fact did say in Jan/Feb that in the end the fatality rate would be similar to a bad year of H1N1, somewhere between .04-.4%.

Italy Drs are reporting viral loads are down significantly in new cases, and Coronavirus in Italy is no longer a threat. This would speak to the estimation I posted a few weeks ago saying 10-20% of the population infected is all that’s needed to acquire herd immunity. They’re even doubting the possibility of a second wave.

Well…the good news is we have lots of businesses that were swayed into now making masks and ventilators so…“we” are in good shape there?

That’s great news! I hope we see the death of Covid as quickly as possible. I’m still wearing my mask until we hear otherwise. Best to be safe considering it is such a minor inconvenience.

Oh i think we know who made it. Why is a good question.

As this is dug into, I think those involved and where this virus was first developed, may surprise a lot of people?

Seems obvious the Chinese developed it…all denials on their part to the contrary.

There are questions regarding this and Dr. Fauci may know more about this than is currently known?

During a White House press briefing, a reporter claimed the Obama administration gave the virology lab in Wuhan $3.7 million in grant money in 2015. Various news reports, relying on the nonprofit White Coat Waste Project, also reported similar numbers. This is incorrect. The National Institutes of Health gave roughly $3.4 million to EcoHealth Alliance, a nonprofit research group, over the course of 6 years, including under the Trump administration. Of that $3.4 million, less than $600,000 was sent to the lab in Wuhan, EcoHealth Alliance spokesman Robert Kessler told PolitiFact.

I don’t care much for Fauci myself.

Appreciated. 0.4% it is. I say we review the early threads again and look at the numbers predicted.

This is a natural progression in any pandemic.

As more information comes in, numbers are refined.

There are questions only in the feverish minds of those who see Deep State Conspiracy in everything.

Ignore science- follow conspiracy fever dreams…that is the current path in the Unreality Bubble.

There were people predicting numbers that IIRC were very close to these revised figures. Since they were likely made to defend their statements, this will be an opportunity for me to see their reasoning for said predictions so I can make better decisions the next time China infects the rest of the world with one of their various lung pow diseases. I’ll be practicing 1,000 ft social distancing in the meantime. Fortune favors the prepared after all.

I had 0.4 on my bingo card earlier this month, but I think we can do better.
