One day I was working downtown in my city, having a break and a dude comes sprinting by, right away a cop chasing him, and some 30 seconds later there's his partner a female cop trailing behind. I know I'd want my partner a little closer for back up in a chase. It'd be hilarious if it weren't so sad.
Remember back in the day where people openly expressed sensible opinions?
Now we have Officer Karen failing at arresting a man for playing hockey because it might spread a disease with a 0.2% mortality rate even though there's no sign he's sick.
You're talking about from those who are even "infected"with the virus (and those numbers are highly questionable with false positives everywhere). Let's talk about the percentage of the entire population who is dying from this and it is a tiny fraction of your numbers, and the VAST MAJORITY of those are people who have already passed the average ages of death in Canada for men and women.so lets KEEP IT REAL! From the sounds of it, I think you more closely associate with the left anyway.
A boy his age, it's probably about 0.000002% mortality rate. Though the two idiot girl cops arresting him for potentially spreading the "deadly COVID" don't seemed too worried getting right on top of him and wrestling with him for 5-10mins and sharing his breath. Shouldn't they go into quarantine for 14 days now? (without pay!) COMPLETE MORONS.
The numbers you're using aren't [died from COVID] / [infected with COVID], they're [died with a positive COVID test result] / [Received a positive test result] which isn't even remotely close to the same thing.
Factors like false positive, false negative and undiagnosed cases will all impact the true level of infection, while distinguishing between death from COVID and death with COVID will effect the true death toll. The number 0.2% (I checked and it's actually 0.26%) derives from an estimate from the CDC back in May. I can't guarantee that they've adequately addressed the above issues in their methodology but if we want to live in a world where we Trust the Science™, it's the only estimate I've come across. If you have a better one I'm open to seeing it.
I was the OP. I wasn't offering a conspiracy theory. I was pointing out that the numbers you picked don't mean what you think they mean. You may as well have tried to calculate Canada's average salary by taking the GPD and dividing by the population. That's just not what those numbers mean and aren't a valid use of them.
0.26% is the mortality rate for individuals who have been infected by COVID as estimated by the CDC. There may be organizations out there that have a better model for estimating fatality but the methodology you came up with is crude to the point of being useless.
The CDC and PHA themselves wrote a guideline to doctors specifically saying if someone died and they SUSPECTED the chink virus was the cause it should be counted as a covid death. The PCR test also gives false positives.
How dare you state the truth!!! Disavow! Disavow!!
Youtube is currently removing videos of the Ocean Wiesblatt being arrested.
I don't mind the quotas now. Makes it easier to resist.

You actually believe the official numbers? Christ youre an idiot.
