CDC's New 'Best Estimate' Implies a COVID-19 Infection Fatality Rate Below 0.3%

[cancel2 2022]

Righty-o. Why go to a rightwing blog for climate science info, when legitimate, prestigious science sources like NASA are easily available?

The problem with partisan news aggregators like this one, Breitbart, raw story, Drudge, et al. is that they troll the interwebs for stories which fit their agenda, and ignore stories which don't. It is not professional journalism - which attempts to look at all the data, the weight of evidence, to try to get as close to the truth as possible.

The NASA climate science info is mostly provided by GISS, currently run by Gavin Schmidt, who apparently feel little need to be objective and non-partisan. This is why 49 ex-NASA personnel felt the need to castigate the agency to allow itself to become so political. Not that you've ever worried about that though. Do you think that the Judith Curry and Roy Spencer blogs are right wing, because only a fucking idiot would claim that.

Anyone using numbers from anything but reputable scientific sources can be laughed at.

Can anyone explain why the deaths of fellow Americans from a virus is a hoax to right wing conservatives? Viruses are hoaxes? Were Mers Sars HIV etc etc hoaxes? By whom. Are American conservatives simply people with blinders who see only what they are told to see? I do realize conservatives suffer from a weird Oedipal complex when it comes to their government, but come on people wake up. If you are a troll keep up the dumb work.

You know at this point I would actually say this is a hoax. At first we were told it had a 3.4% mortality rate. With how infectious this disease is that would mean we would be carting out our dead.

But now? .3%? 0.05% for those below 49?

I mean the numbers below 49 are so small they cant even divide it into thier own categories like they normally do. (0-12, 13-19, etc etc). Numbers like this would point to a disease worthy of maybe isolating our old folk not destroying the economy.

[domer76]

both your source and the CDC now say that you are doing it wrong......I know you will never stop lying because you are hardcore lib'rul, but at least we now have proof of your lies.....

You’re a chronic liar.

[domer76]

actually they already have......sourced from both the CDC and worldmeter, together with an accurate explanation of your error.........

Yep. No numbers, I see. Just more of your lies.

[domer76]

Dickhead! We know where those numbers come from. The point is, how many had the China virus and didn't know it? I didn't say I didn't like them, just that they aren't 100% accurate.
No one can provide 100% accurate numbers when it's unknown how many had it and didn't require a testing or hospitalization.

Yep, just as I predicted. No numbers. Just more bullshit.

CDC and worldometer give the same figures.

About 98,000 deaths out of 1.7 million cases. Plus or minus a bit.

5.8%

Yet you cannot refute my post, can you?

We both know that the only cases those count are the ones that make it to the hospital and are actually testing. Studies show that something like 20% of NY alone already have covid antibodies.

There’s nothing to refute, asswipe. Just your routine bullshit.

I posted numbers that both CDC and worldometer are reporting. Refute those, halfwit. So far, you have nothing. What a shocker!

Still waiting. So far, the righties have nothing.

Whatever you say, you're the expert on everything. Those numbers you post are 100% accurate and take into account all those who survived and don't appear in the statistics? Silly twit...

It is hard to say what is happening, because the Covid-19 antibody tests are not that great, and the studies have been incomplete, but lets go with that. 20% have gotten it, and it will go to 80% (four times). 0.25% of the population has died, and it will go to 1%(again four times). And that will happen in all of America. That is 3.2 million, or more than three times all the people the US has ever lost in war.

That is very bad. I hope you are being too negative.

and yet, the OP states that I am not......how's that working for you?.....
