The only problem with your analysis is you're forgetting about all the people who only experience cold like symptoms and never get tested. This number is huge and is sometimes estimated to be up to 10X the number of cases we have stats for.
On top of that we know that people who die "with covid" but not "from covid" are still being counted as a covid death. This number is smaller overall but when you have such a low amount of deaths per cases it makes a big difference.
This is a bad flu and the people scared about it can get a vaccine. Problem solved. No need to turn the west into an authoritarian state of medical tyranny and force the jab into kids who are essentially unaffected by this virus.
I'll need more than your word for how big that number is. Keep in mind that there have been over 45,000,000 tests in Canada. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
I remember that case in Alberta a week or two ago. Do you have any sources for those numbers in general?
No, it's not. There are influenza viruses and coronaviruses. Flu and covid are similar the way hippos and rhinos are similar, but they are different animals. https://ogden_images.s3.amazonaws.com/www.adirondackdailyenterprise.com/images/2020/03/18235238/a5GastCOVID19_Influenza.png
Covid's impact appears to be about 10 times worse: "Flu: The World Health Organization estimates that 290,000 to 650,000 people die of flu-related causes every year worldwide." Almost 4 million people have died from covid since Oct. 25,2020.
and
"The COVID-19 situation continues to change, sometimes rapidly. Doctors and scientists are working to estimate the mortality rate of COVID-19. At present, it is thought to be substantially higher (possibly 10 times or more) than that of most strains of the flu." https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/coronavirus/coronavirus-disease-2019-vs-the-flu
A friend works in tesring and the normal flu test is more expensive than a pcr test for covid, so they stopped tested for flu and just went inflated cycle pcr for about a year now.
And then they stopped testing for influenza, and went pcr first. Covid symptoms and influenxa symptoms presented exactly the said, and with the incentives in having covid cases, its a huge reach to say that its not deliberate. Also, fuck off, chode.
This is retarded gobbledygook. Did you know that a good percentage of colds are caused by coronaviruses?
Exactly, sounds like a bad flu to me. I don't disagree with the stats, I just interpret them differently than you do. This whole reaction to covid has been disproportionate to the risk.
It sounds like you aren't paying enough attention if you're asking me for sources on things that are common knowledge. Do you need a source that the sky is blue before you'll believe me too?
Yes. It sounds like you might be surprised to learn that each cold coronavirus can be differentiated from the rest, just like the difference can be seen between the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the Influenza A and B viruses.
Your opinion only counts for anything here in OmegaCanad.win. Out in the real world it doesn't mean much by itself unless you can find some credentialed backup.
So far it looks like you can't provide any sources.
Go ahead and continue to be scared of covid, I don't give a shit. You come across as a guy who drives with a mask on or when walking outside. You probably don't even own a doghouse.
I've been living like covid is just a bad flu, and it is for anyone not old or fat, since summer of 2020. All you fags keep crying about it and we don't really care; us in the real world are laughing at you.
