164K death out of 5000K cases. That’s a death rate of 3.24% — seasonal flu is about 0.1%. So Covid is about 30 times more lethal.

That’s apparent in the fact that 164K have died — even if one says the numbers are exaggerated by 100%, that’s more than the MAXIMUM number who have died of the flu in any year (2018 was the highest with 71K dead) - and this has been just 5 months.

It’s more serious than the flu. It’s not as deadly as Ebola or the Spanish flu, but it’s way more dangerous than the common flu.

I don’t believe the 164,000 number.

why do you spread fear propaganda? given the number of asymptomatic cases even the CDC admits the fatality rate is around 0.2%.

“164K death out of 5000K cases. That’s a death rate of 3.24%...”

Except that also is not reality. Doesn’t come close to reality. If you catch the virus, you don’t have anything like a 3% chance of dying. But it makes America & Trump look bad....at least, if you don’t compare what countries like the UK went through, or the NY/NJ metropolitan area.

Your post is a demonstrable lie. Does that bother you at all?

Wrong. I have a cousin who is a bio-scientist working with venture capitalists who are giving millions to vaccine researchers.

I asked him about real case numbers. He said: “To estimate the actual number of cases, take whatever is being reported and multiply by ten.”

He also said they have discovered this virus has been in America since October, and maybe September.
