Well, South Korea has the best data on the virus and a health care system similar to ours and the rate of death is at .6%.

"“Globally, about 3.4 percent of reported COVID-19 cases have died,” he said. “By comparison, seasonal flu generally kills far fewer than 1 percent of those infected.”"

Those are “reported cases”. Not everyone will have symptoms that indicate infection as the data from South Korea has shown.

Exactly, because the virus is asymptomatic for a range of 4-14 days in infected cases. The regular flu isn't even close to being asymptomatic for that long. What's your point?

Jesus.

The point is the only way to get a clear picture of the death rate is to collect data and analyze it. The best data we have shows that the current rate if death is at .6%.

Attempting to calculate a death rate using shitty data provides results that are laughably out of whack....like the idea that the death rate in the US (6%) is higher that the rate in China (5%).

No. No. No.

It's all going to be okay, people! The President has a handle on this thing, and as long as everyone is smart and calm it's all going to be fine.

Trump / Pence aside, you do realize the beloved Deepstate operates the gov facing side of the coronavirus defense, right? The CDC is the one you should be wanting to have a handle on it, and thus far they absolutely do not have a handle on it.

People. The total Corona death toll after some 10 weeks of the virus going around is about the same as the total number of deaths worldwide every half hour.
