This is absolute and total BS. 2% death rate? Who comes up with this total garbage? You have 100M infected in US as the estimate. A 2% death rate is 2M deaths

This is absolute and total BS. 2% death rate? Who comes up with this total garbage? You have 100M infected in US as the estimate. A 2% death rate is 2M deaths from COVID alone. I've not seen anything like that as credible death rates - it's at least half if not a quarter of this rate - more like 0.5% or less. Do the same thing in countries with 70% infected rates - if fatality was really 2%+ death counts would be insane. You really start to understand how people start to doubt the crap COVID "experts" put out when basic math shows it is garbage.

> Who comes up with this total garbage? Johns Hopkins University. I don't feel like that's typically considered a bad source. Maybe it's a bit high or they're looking at different data sets. But again, and I cannot overstate this enough, even if I accept the 0.5% number, that's still a lot of deaths, about 1.5 million if everyone in the US gets it. According to the NYTimes [1], there's been about half a million deaths from COVID. If your provided number of 100M infected people is correct, then that would be consistent with 1.5M dying if everyone gets infected (US population ~= 3 * 100M, 3 * 500,000 = 1.5M).
