Mounting evidence suggests the coronavirus is more common and less deadly than it first appeared.
The evidence comes from tests that detect antibodies to the coronavirus in a person's blood rather than the virus itself.
The tests are finding large numbers of people in the U.S. who were infected but never became seriously ill. And when these mild infections are included in coronavirus statistics, the virus appears less dangerous.
"The current best estimates for the infection fatality risk are between 0.5% and 1%," says Caitlin Rivers, an epidemiologist at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security.
That's in contrast with death rates of 5% or more based on calculations that included only people who got sick enough to be diagnosed with tests that detect the presence of virus in a person's body.
OMG, this is like what I was saying with whole selection bias in the modeling.
LOL how will the Covid Club respond?
The damage to the economy is done, and that's what they wanted. Notice not much about "Global Warming" these days. COVID-19 achieved their goal in a couple of months.

I expect to see more of this type of reporting/opinion as time goes on. I also expect to see some [better late than never] criticism of the lockdowns—with their inevitable, grotesque, unintended consequences.

After, the election of course.

I found it interesting that Heather says that NPR became "Unlistenable" around 2008...she said that there was then no point in listening, because she knew exactly what they were going to say regardless of the facts....they are ideologically possessed in Jordan Peterson language.
And she is a pretty hard core Lefty.

Your reading comprehension and the author’s analogy to Iraq are both laughable.
The blunder wasn’t that Iraq didn’t have WMDs, it was that Bush (via Wolfowitz and Rumsfeld) used it as an excuse to invade. The invasion itself was the blunder. Plenty of countries possess WMDs, but we never invaded them.
Re: the virus, 165,000 dead, and counting. That’s WITH distancing, quarantines and lockdowns. There’s your facts, you fucking moron.

Amazing. Still a valid prediction about this moron, even after three years.
“6/30/17
I predict Evmetro will post some babbling piece of bullshit and when people reply to point that out, he will respond with a juvenile “I told you so!”
Thank you in advance for proving me correct.”
We stopped doing accountability a long time ago, this is one of the top five reasons why America is failing, reasons that we are on our way to being the next Argentina, except our neck is going to end up under The New Chinese Empires boot.
Precious few fucks around here understand this, understand the stakes of continuing to fail as America is failing.
