Oh look, the positive testing rate in Florida being reporting is wrong by a massive amount!

Indeed. It is highly infectious. But the death rate in the US has proven to be just slightly higher than the flu.
If you are under the age of 50, your best bet is to try and get the virus before winter.
From my child comment for better visibility:
The rate of deaths to positive tests is like 0.004, and based on what we know about testing it's assumed that we're catching less than 33% of all positives, so the assumption is the true death rate is (at worst) about 0.0016. The flu death rate is 0.001.
If you assume that either COVID deaths are being trumped up (probably true) or that we're catching fewer than 33% of all positives (also probably true), the true death rate is likely lower.
Death rate is probably lower.

The guy in CO who drank himself to death, ended up a .55 BAC and was listed as a wuhan flu death did it for me....this whole fucking thing is a political tool...sure, some people get sick and die from it....well, people get sick and die from the flu...open up the fucking country
Do you have a link to anything on this? I'd love to have this example.
SPEZ:
I found it here if anybody else wants to read on it.
But this is always true, we do that with influenza as well
It'll be impossible to know, now that they've moved the goalposts and changed what they're counting as "covid cases" these days. Going by their previous description, it might be slightly higher than the flu. But going by their "had prior contact with a covid patient and exhibiting a symptom" bullshit? The data is tainted.
And how to filter out 'multiple positives' by the same patient. Are those counted as multiple cases? I think the numbers have gotten so messed up at this point, and the WH can't release any lack of confidence in these numbers because of losing face to the nation. When the tell-all books come out from Fauci and the other testing team members in a couple of years, this is going to reveal a complete CF behind the scenes with these numbers. We were woefully unprepared for a pandemic. Surprise!
Co-morbities throw the death count off
Such as being OVER the average age of death for humans.
ALL THE NUMBERS BEING THROWN AROUND ARE EXACTLY LIKE POLL NUMBERS: HEAVILY MANIPULATED AND INVENTED DATA TO FORCE AGREEMENT WITH AN ESTABLISHED NARRATIVE.
How many times do you who still believe this stuff have to be lied to by the global govt before you start to doubt anything they tell you? Haven't they earned your skepticism YET?
I can't wait to see the election results coming out of FL this year.
How do you think Broward County is going to report? :D
A lot are, that's for sure
If you're under 50 and have a clean bill of health. Don't go to any covid parties if you have underlying conditions.
I thought at this point the death rate is less than the flu.
If the trends we see in FL and Texas continue (and maybe California I haven't looked at their numbers in a few days), the official death rate will drop below the flu death rate in about a week or two.
