If you mean 50%+ as majority then yes. But a nonvaccinated death rate around 2-10% worldwide compared to 0.1% of the US vaccinated population getting covid to begin with, that’s a huge difference.
- kzrdude 5y agoThe case fatality rate has been quoted to be much lower than that - 2% in bad cases (health care system failure) and 0.5% in more well managed situations.
- syntaxing 5y agoWould love to see the numbers of 0.5%. Even in the US and with vaccines rolled out, we just skimmed 2% [1] [1] https://ourworldindata.org/mortality-risk-covid https://ourworldindata.org/mortality-risk-covid
- kzrdude 5y agoHm yeah ok, we should not look at case fatality rate when the true number of cases is so uncertain. I think it's more about what the actual risk of death is if you get covid, which is lower than this case fatality rate.
