Rachel Maddow said this yesterday September 16, 2020, months after Sweden flattened their curve. This is the worst lie I have seen on MSNBC thus far. If it hasn't become painfully obvious before that that MSDNC and CNN are politicizing the pandemic to get Trump out...
You absolutely can not use the CFR% to infer the actual death rate in a herd immunity strategy. In the United States with the long lineups at drive-thrus for testing and high test positivity rates, it's safe to say that actual infections are far larger than the reported cases. A lot of Americans who had the virus drove out of the drive-thru because they couldn't stand waiting for hours and hours and never got tested. And CFR% in Ontario has decreased over time even for elderly people. in Sweden, COVID deaths are like 1-2/day. There is good reason to suggest that SARS-CoV-2 mutated to be weaker.
No wonder my relatives and friends are terrified of the virus. If you listen to the bullshit that CNN, MSNDC, CBC and our politicians say, you'd think that this virus will literally kill almost 3% of everyone who gets infected and give long-term complications to many others who survive.
It’s not that it mutated. It’s that only a few people were strange weak to It, caught it and died. There are few of those people and fewer now than in the beginning.
Fuck this dude
