665,000 dead/105,000,00 TP =.633 mortality rate.
68,922 dead/330,000,000 TP = .208 mortality rate.
Which number is bigger?
The smaller the denominator the higher the fatality rate. Basic math.

Why are you moving the goal posts. We’re talking about the fatality rate of COVID-19 “dropping like a rock” in a matter of weeks. It hasn’t. It’s higher than it was a week ago.

One reason we all know you don’t know what you are talking about is, a few posts ago you claimed the rate you were discussing was once as high as 8%. How could the mortality rate of the total population once been 8% and now under 1 given that the population is static, and COVID deaths is going up?
lol.
So silly.

You’re all over the place. Dividing deaths by those tested. Then by total population. Then comparing it to Spanish flu.

Additionally we now know that very likely the reported number of confirmed cases is probably 20-50x lower than the actual number.
Using the same methods we calculate influenza mortality what does that number now look like?

We’ve been comparing it to the Spanish Flu from the beginning since that was the last major pandemic for which we didn’t have effective treatments, testing, or vaccinations.
Don’t you like apples to apples comparisons?

How did the rate you are discussing go from 8% to under 1% if the population is static and cases are rising?

You don’t know much of anything other than what you are being fed to confirm your own bias.
I never said it hit 8%, don’t misrepresent what I have stated, it’s dishonest as hell.

The fact you feel the need to misrepresent what I said shows the intellectual bankruptcy of your own position.

Please stop trying to distract from your claim: COVID-19 fatality rate has dropped like a rock in a matter of weeks.

Stoop attacking me to cover your own failures and lack of even basic math skills with respect to fractions.

Sorry.
How would the rate you are discussing go from approaching 8% to under 1% if the population is static and cases are rising?

Then why did you say COVID mortality rate was approaching 8% and then dropped to under 1% if you were speaking of morality vs. total population?

Two weeks ago we lacked information showing the total infection rate is likely 20-50x higher than reported.
Would you prefer we adjust the numbers reflecting that?
It will still show a dramatic drop in the mortality rate.

Attacking you? You @‘d me mocking my model and math skills and I’m asking you to show your work and you’re all over the place.

I did and you’ve been mocking me from the beginning which is what started this pissing contest.
You get what you earn.

We know for a fact it’s not 50x higher. Do you know how?

Mocking you? No one is mocking you. How did you come to that conclusion?
You claimed you were discussing total mortality vs population because you were comparing it to the spanish flu.
Then you oddly tried to calculate mortality vs. all tests taken, which really isn’t a thing.
…
So what rate were you claiming approached 8 and has now dropped under 1? what rate and where did you get your numbers?

You said mortality rate was dropping like a rock and cratering, would hit 8% and then drop down to 1% or less. The only backing data you’ve supplied is that we have performed 7,000,000 tests and have ~68,000 deaths. You seem to think all 7,000,000 of those tests are positive.
