Sure, fair enough I used the reported cases to deaths, for that rate which is what the world in data listed. In contrast the CDC claims that it is now a 0.6% rate.
This however, reinforces my point, even with an exaggerated deathrate we failed to properly contain the disease and take things seriously.
- nradov 4y agoIn open societies outside of a few islands there was never any real possibility of containing the virus after it left Wuhan. And what does "take things seriously" even mean? The notion that regular people should restrict their lifestyles and submit to mandates indefinitely over a virus with a >99% survival rate was always stupid.

We didnt know that at the time. The statistics at the time showed a very different story. You can compare the handling of the situation across countries and regions with similar socioeconomic conditions and observe that certain states performed significantly worse than counterparts outside. I didn’t speak about indefinite mandates either and mentioned Denmark repeatedly, for a good reason. In Denmark we didn’t have vaccine or mask mandates, and opened well before most countries in January of 2022 while sustaining far fewer deaths compared to say Sweden.
