What do you mean? That is a fact. Slightly over a million folks have died of COVID, planet wide.The infection fatality rate, or IFR is actually 0.14% when averaged out over the entire planet. This makes COVID slightly less dangerous than the flu.
Man oh MAN - The Gullibles are out in force today!
It has nothing to do with "gullible" unless you are referring to yourself and Lesh? Is that it?
It isn't a fact - It's just more fake news. ;-)
So now you are calling pronouncements from the World Health Organization "fake news?"
The problem? You watch too much TEE VEE, you do not educate yourself, and you probably don't even have a clue what the difference between CASE FATALITY RATE, and INFECTION FATALITY RATE is.What do you mean?

These numbers are facts. They are A) the actual population of the Earth, and B) numbers coming from the World Health Organization. Secondly, it is how you DO THE MATH.
If you don't like the MATH, then you are clearly just politicizing the disease for a purpose. . . I see what you are doing then. In your mind, you have a truth, it is impervious to that FACTS.
You are choosing your TRUTH, over the FACTS.

You can't take an entire population and use it to calculate mortality percentage. You take only the people who have tested positive and divide that into the number who have died. So 1.4% mortality is correct.
See? Now you are being POLITICAL, and not scientific. If we don't truly know how dangerous the disease is, and can't treat it with the seriousness it deserves, and analyze the risk, versus how we should treat the economy and folks ability to live their lives, unless we have a realistic assessment. YOU CLEARLY DON'T WANT TO DO THAT.
OR? You have been misinformed by corporate and government propaganda? WHICH IS IT?!

". . A case fatality rate (CFR) is the proportion of deaths from a disease compared to the total number of people diagnosed.
An infection fatality rate (IFR) is the proportion of deaths among all infected individuals, in other words the true fatality rate. While related to the CFR, an IFR attempts to estimate the mortality rate including non-diagnosed cases (e.g. not tested, asymptomatic). An IFR should be lower than the CFR, since the denominator would be expected to be larger.
Visually, these can be represented as shown in Figure 2 below, based on the relative differences in confirmed vs. total cases as shown in Figure 1. Note that deaths can be scored as either confirmed deaths or probable deaths. As testing becomes more widespread, the difference between “confirmed” and “total” infected shrinks, as does the difference between CFR and IFR.
