So, the CDC now says that for every Covid positive, 10x that amount are positive but untested. So HCAP's charts are off by a factor of 10. 2.4M positives are now 26.4M positives. Unfortunately for Cappy, that means that the death rate is not 5% but 0.45%, or akin to a bad flu seasons.
Another fact is death rate among 65 and over. For the flu, those dying from it varies year to year and is between 70-85% of the total deaths. For COVID, it is 80%. Not much different really. In bad flu seasons we can have upwards of 80M getting it. So far we are at 26.4M COVID.
When you look at the real numbers, it isn't all that much different than the flu. Yes, it spreads faster and is a little deadlier, but is it worth destroying everything we've built for 200 years over? That seems insane.
