“If valid, the test still shows 5 times worse than the flu.”
Actually it’s 20 times worse than the flu. The estimated mortality rate for seasonal flu is .1% of SYMPTOMATIC CASES.

But just like Covid19, the regular flu has non-symptomatic cases, estimated to be 75% of infections. So the infection mortality rate for seasonal flu is one quarter of .1% if you take into account everyone infected, not just those with symptoms. With Covid19 serology tests we are finding many people who are positive but don’t have symptoms. But for an apples to apples comparison with the seasonal flu you have to do the same thing, calculate based on all infections not just symptomatic infections. So, if NYC Covid infection mortality rate is .5% (actually they didn’t include probable deaths in this, which gives you an IFR of .8%), it is 20 times deadlier than regular flu.
.5% / .025% = 20 times deadlier than flu
.8% / .025% = 32 times deadlier than flu
Take your pick, its not the flu “bro” it is a monster.
Good point.
Turns out that the CDC are the ones who are distorting the numbers.
They are ordering Coroners nationwide to list Corona as the cause of death even if people are killed in car accidents, along with a whole list of other causes, IF they had the Corona virus when they were killed. Car accident victims.
Blows your half-assed emotional FearBros arguments out of the water.
The CDC is most likely doing this because they know this pandemic isn’t but a shadow of what they have made it out to be.
