One could argue that the plague also has a low kill rate these days. The IFR was only low because we could get all the infected to the hospital.

- sokoloff 1y agoWhat?! I know hundreds of people who have had it, and only one I know went to the hospital. Zero died. I’ve had it three times. Zero hospital visits. One was “bad cold”; one was “mild cold”; the last was “would have never known I had anything if not for a complete loss of smell, which made me test”. Where is this place where everyone who gets infected with C19 goes to the hospital or seriously risks death?
- literalAardvark 1y agoWho said everyone? iirc untreated IFR is around 10%
- sokoloff 1y agoYou did: “IFR was only low because we could get all the infected to the hospital.”
- literalAardvark 1y agoEh, ESL. I meant the ones who need it, obviously.
