an IFR of 0.03% ? (source: HM Gov UK Office of National Statistics)

<sigh> First: that statement would carry more weight if it included a link to the source referenced. As it stands it's just some potential Russian troll bullshit.

Second: Those of us without a firm background in statistics might not understand the differences between the various ways of looking at the numbers. For example, here's a quote from a recent paper: "Currently, the global COVID-19 crude mortality rate is approximately 39 per 100,000 population, and the median case-fatality ratio-defined as the ratio of deaths to total infections-is estimated to be around 1.8%" https://www.researchgate.net/publication/340241816_The_many_estimates_of_the_COVID-19_case_fatality_rate

So for those of us without the background to understand the technical nuances of the various numerical analyses I suggest we just go with the simple numbers. As of Oct 8 2021 in Canada there have been 1,585,972 cases which left victims alive, and another 28,186 people who didn't make it. https://health-infobase.canada.ca/covid-19/epidemiological-summary-covid-19-cases.html

That works out to 1.78% (just under 2%) of the people who tested positive for the virus having died. That's about 1 in 50.

Oh look! That's the global "median case fatality ratio" defined above.

an influenza? That kills more frail elderly every year than the Rona does

Actually no. "COVID-19 is associated with fatalities at a rate that is higher than that of seasonal influenza" This quote is also from https://www.researchgate.net/publication/340241816_The_many_estimates_of_the_COVID-19_case_fatality_rate

Would you care to expand on your sentence: “No law, yet..”

Touchy about that, are you?
