According to my math it’s even much lower than that AND you have to take into account that the numbers are skewed. So it could be even lower than that. I said from the beginning that if I saw them burning piles of bodies in the street then it’s time to panic. Well.

That's a little more than one-tenth of 1%, which the WHO says is the rate for the seasonal flu.

The manipulation hoax to scare people during the runup to the election. All lies.

What amazes me is that so few of us here, and we are legion, knew of anyone in our various circles who died from Covid. I know three people that GOT it, but all recovered at home, saying it was no worse than the flu.

So, yeah - numbers had to have been being manipulated for evil, as usual. Jerks.

I remember back in the day..oh say in March April when FR was invaded by paid, coronavirus fear merchants and trolls, who proceeded to relentlessly push coronavirus death rates of 6% or more.

[crusty old prospector]

Repeat after the WHO, “It’s just the flu, bro.”

Correct me if I am wrong but doesn’t this OFFICIALLY put the mortality rate down around the seasonal flu?

[2aProtectsTheRest]

I don’t see any links to the actual report in the story. Does anyone have that?

That IFR would be extremely low. That would mean the IFR worldwide is 1/6th of what it is in the US and other western nations (~0.65%). So places like India, Africa, etc. would have to have an IFR vastly lower, which seems wrong.

Comparable to a bad flu season. No worse.
