That people shun that sort of enlightenment in favor of the words of politicians and “journalists” is a horribly negative statement on our society.
Worldometers has all the raw data. My efforts to point people there have largely been met with a collective meh.
200K is only 0.06% of the population.
Fuck Fauci and the so-called scientists
Up until this point, you were doing ok as a political rant.
There we go. Thanks 🤣
Why would anyone respect Fauci for his scientific opinion?
theOrangeManIsBad says200K is only 0.06% of the population.
Just a heads up.
So closer to 0.05%. And yes, still a rounding error when you account for polls being +/-4% margins of error and them being off by a much larger percent in '16. But hey 0.05% of people die in this country from an over inflated death count. Cool. Estimated 11k alone in NY died and probably didn't need to. It's a big/huge maybe, but maybe 100k US citizens have died of Covid. And theoretically illegals shouldn't count in the death toll, so who knows how much they're baked into the numbers for political reasons. This is a severe flu without a vaccine and minimal knowledge on therapeutics that are seemingly dropping the death rate to a nothing burger.
Mind you all of what we're talk about is regarding a viru...
There is little that I would seek treatment for anymore except trauma.
We were talking about current deaths per capita of population. You are talking about infection fatality rate (IFR), which most people peg at 0.2 to 1.4 or so. IFR is a function of age and health as well as medical care. At this point in the US, while the adults take care and the kids are out spreading CV, the IFR is going to be lower than it was early on.
And yes, I know, in ancient Latin, the plural form of dictum is dicta but it just doesn't sound right in an English translation.
