This.Is this "science" .... or CDC bullshit?

Recent news pundits are reporting that 500,000 U.S. residents died of Covid19. Last summer a review was being done to determine how many people actually died from "Covid19" as compared to medical reports misrepresenting the cause of death a "Covid19" in the midst of patients with multiple gun shot wounds being called "Covid19" deaths and others in catastrophic vehicular collisions with dismemberment being called "Covid19" deaths.The number of COVID deaths is probably understated. The semi-official numbers showed there being 335,789 COVID deaths on January 1, 2021, and 545,887 COVID deaths on April 1, 2021:
The medical professionals' "Covid19" relief funds are dependent on stats!
Take those bogus conclusions out and it was my understanding the death rate was less than 2% of the U.S. population. But, of course, "we" have to add back in the lies told in New York about how many nursing home deaths were actually caused by their HERO GOVERNOR KUMO! Originally Posted by LexusLover

Originally Posted by LexusLoverExcess deaths sidestep that issue. You're just looking at the total number of deaths in 2020 and comparing to to 2019.

The real death rate is under 2% and has been steady. Originally Posted by LexusLoverIt should be a good bit lower than that. The "official" numbers show around 32 million infected and 570,000 deaths in the USA. That's a 1.8% infection fatality ratio. BUT, a lot more people than 32 million have had the disease. The 32 million only counts people who tested positive. If you include asymptomatic cases and people who had COVID symptoms but never bothered to get tested in the total number of infections, that number would be a lot higher than 32 million. And thus the infection fatality ratio would be much lower.

it is less than 1 percent. the 32 million number is from testing however as you state correctly, many who were exposed didn't get tested. reports indicate the exposure could be 10 times what is known via testing.I suspect your and my prediction of a 0.5% infection fatality ratio may not be too far off the mark. We were probably a bit low.
if so then almost everyone in the US as already been exposed, if you take the high estimate of 10 X have been exposed.
of course you won't hear much reporting on this possibility now because it means that herd immunity has probably been reached and the need for the vaccine is diminished at best or rendered unneeded.
well the powers that be can't have that! Fauci the flatulent has been on the warpath lately claiming even after being fully vaccinated (both shots) people still need these gotdam lockdowns, masks (the more the better right Facui the fucktard??) and of course continued school closings.
