How can you still push lies like that? The mortality rate is nowhere near 15%. Rather within 1%. Case fatality ratio is a ratio to confirmed cases, which in a country where people have been told to stay at home if they are sick and not get tested for most of the peak of the pandemic is a massive underestimation of “people who get it”. Spreading false information like that is irresponsible.
- anoncake 6y agoSaying they're lying is kinda optimistic. Plenty of people don't know the difference.

- anoncake 6y agoThat makes it even sadder. I'm sure everyone had the choice to learn the actual level of danger (to the extent it's known) but believing in a higher mortality rate makes it easier to panic. And if you don't panic, you're seen as irresponsible and/or hating humanity.
- stonemetal12 6y agoI didn't see a reference for your number so I went looking for data, that is what I found. Hence I asked where your data came from. >How can you still push lies like that? Still? that is the first time I have posted that, so I not sure what you mean by still.
- cm2187 6y agoNo I mean we are 6 months into this pandemic. I can understand people making this mistake in Feb or March. But by now there is no excuse. There is a lot of FUD being pushed by people on HN. In your case it may be an honest mistake but I am getting tired of people quoting numbers that are alarmist and just false.
