  • There are certain guidelines for WHO reporting, I can find them if you want. So, if you die from completely unrelated causes, it doesn't count. If you recover and then die, it doesn't count.

    Even if there are some % of cases overreported the best way to fight that argument is by pointing out excess mortality stats.

    Here's an article from august 12 saying 200000 people had already died in US, based on excess death numbers.

  • I agree its "overblown" by libs to own Trump, but it's IFR is at least 0.6%.

    WHO says 0.5-1% infection fatality rate and cites a study from Stockholm that had a result of 0.58% for all ages. The study accounted for unreported cases, but not for unreported deaths. They themselves say that the result is conservative.

    Sweden, mind you, has some of the best healthcare and healthiest people in the world.

    Other New York study (that's cited on worldmeters) accounted for excess deaths and unreported infections had a result of 1.4% IFR.

    Case fatality rate of the world is still 2-6%. I don't think it's THAT unnoticeable.
