The CFR of COVID is less than 0.5%, and in the opinion of many wouldn't be worth the destructive shut-downs even if those shut-downs had the effect of preventing COVID deaths.
- dragonwriter 6y ago> The CFR of COVID is less than 0.5 The CFR of COVID—and everything else that might be require ICU care—goes way up when hospitals are overwhelmed because the infection rate isn't controlled. CFR isn't a constant.
- covidthrow2 6y agoHow is 300,000 new cases per day controlled? That seems very out of control and the CFR is still less than 0.5
- stopping 6y agoThe CFR in the United States is 1.67%. Your numbers are wrong.
- Rebelgecko 6y agoAt my college, it was a bad year when a dozen students died (which can have a negative effect on the mental health of a surprisingly large # of people). With a 0.5% fatality rate, there'd be hundreds of deaths.
