Hey maybe I am totally confused but
The media , are ignoring the case fatality rate .
No they push it even though it is lower than others that are not as hyped as Corona.
In France it's 15 % in Belgium it's 16 % in Spain it's 11 % in Holland it's 12 %
Let me introduce IFR to you. Infection mortality rate. I explain it to you like I would to a child:
The mortality rate in Germany is 0.4%.
France 0.5%
So for every two hundred (200) people that are infected, one of them dies.
That is sad on it's own but NOT 15%, it is 30 times lower than your number.
This is NOT fearmongering or handwringing or pearl clutching .
OH it absolutely is! This is you doing your thing here, as you do since the beginning of this.
But it's about the truth , plain and simple .
No, I showed why it is not.
Attack the post , not the poster
The Stanford study, led by Assistant Professor Eran Bendavid, concluded that the mortality rate in Santa Clara County is between 0.12% and 0.2%. (In contrast, the county's mortality rate based solely on official cases and deaths as of last Friday, April 17, was 3.9%.)
You've been given links and clear facts . Where's your links ?
The term infection fatality rate (IFR) also applies to infectious disease outbreaks, and represents the proportion of deaths among all the infected individuals. It is closely related to the CFR, but attempts to additionally account for all asymptomatic and undiagnosed infections.[7] The IFR differs from the CFR in that it aims to estimate the fatality rate in all those with infection: the detected disease (cases) and those with an undetected disease (asymptomatic and not tested group).[8] (Individuals who are infected, but always remain asymptomatic, are said to have "inapparent" — or silent, or subclinical — infections.)
