And what if that death toll of 110k was greatly exaggerated? Since there's ample evidence of deliberate embellishment, wouldn't that number start to resemble the normal seasonal flu numbers?

(IMO) The World Health Organization (and Dr. Fauci) knew that Covid-19 was not easily transmittable by Asymptomatic individuals long before this week.
The reason they're telling what they've known NOW, is to get ahead of the fact that the Protests and Riots will NOT cause a huge spike in Covid-19 cases. And, to encourage the protestors/rioters to continue without fear of spreading Covid-19 to their parents/grandparents.

Yes -- I think that's exactly what's happening too.
There were a few OPs written about events that should have created huge numbers of infected... an easily tracked cluster so to speak... and that never happened. The one that I wrote was about the infected person at the CPAC conference in late February/early March. That event alone should have resulted in massive numbers of attendees being infected... it never happened.

And the who recognizes that now. And admitted they learned. So what's the problem? What if asymptomatic transmission was common? What would you say then.
This reaction of I told you so is part of the problem. Attacking in hind sight brings nothing to the table.
I thought this virus was a Jewish, Bill gates, Chinese communist plot to start their new world order with the lizard people overlords coming out from the hollow earth.
All orchestrated by the WHO.
Now it's nothing? Now the who admitting their learning and wrong in some areas is some how like 'oops the gig is up guys!'. Yea right...
Not too mention we had the cruise ships as floating experiments to observe.
All us skeptics were correct from Day 1.
The Backtracking begins: The WHO admits asymptomatic Covid transmission is very rare
It has been suspected that infected persons who remain asymptomatic play a significant role in the ongoing pandemic, but their relative number and effect have been uncertain. The authors sought to review and synthesize the available evidence on asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection. Asymptomatic persons seem to account for approximately 40% to 45% of SARS-CoV-2 infections, and they can transmit the virus to others for an extended period, perhaps longer than 14 days. Asymptomatic infection may be associated with subclinical lung abnormalities, as detected by computed tomography.

Too late.
They've already started holding youth baseball tourneys with 150 or more teams in this area. Life is going on.

My sister who's a Nursing supervisor working on a COVID floor... had a neighbor tell her that he didn't believe in the COVID nonsense and it was just old people that were susceptible. Meanwhile she has people in this guys age range, on her floor, with COVID...
So I dunno... people are getting weirder and weirder...

Yeah, as with any illness, there is always a chance that if you get it, it will put you under, but that chance gets vanishingly small the younger and healthier you are until you might as well buy a lottery ticket.
