Did you all see the news reports that the CDC lowered the covid death rate to .26%...

Projections made on the fact that COVID is highly contagious.
Once dialed and accurate, fatality rate should not change as it is a “rate”, not an absolute number. The number of infections would be irrelevant to this specific subject.

Science.

Now then, I fully expect additional adjustments to the rate as the pandemic “matures”. Clearly, though, early fatality rate projections were dramatically off.

and yet they were somehow corroborated against a population that was social distancing?
Some were, some were not. A vast improvement over the ‘science’ you’ve offered here in which you’ve conflated fatality rates with numbers of people infected...and “social distancing” with actual characteristics of the viral infection itself.

What a mess.

The overall fatality rate will fluctuate within a margin of error.

Not when hospital capacity is a factor in fatality rate. No room at the hospital because everyone else has COVID at the same time, then the fatality rate will rise.

1) “Margin of error” is a flaming cop out from what you wrote previously. Be a mensch and own your errors.

2) The co-morbidity of a meteorite slamming to the earth’s surface could impact fatality rate by that measure. Stop blurring actual DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS.

Good Lord, the crapweasel is strong in this one. You post like a pinky-ringed Guido. I’m done with this ignorance and bad faith.

I just about spit my drink at that statement. That is ALL lefty does. Project, speculate, guess. Whether global warming or covid-19.

Thanks for the laughs. Mommy get you that jet ski yet?
No, scientists (those you call “lefty”) then go on to systematically test those projections and recalibrate them based on the data.

Now knowing that nearly half of all deaths came from Nursing Homes in 4 blue states, and over 96% of all coronavirus deaths had serious medical preconditions, wouldn't that mean the REAL fatality rate is .006 percent?
Because lives don’t count if they are people with a “serious medical condition” with which they could otherwise survive decades or they live in the wrong state?

Leftists were preaching their morality of denying granny healthcare just 10 years ago, so as to hire 2 new teachers in an attempt to justify Hope/Change's death panels on ObamaCare.

Today, dems justify firing 525 teachers to save granny from the flu while they collapse the economy and bankrupt everyone hoping their dementia candidate can get a bump in the polls.
If made-up “death panels” are crucial to making your point, you lose.

I feel a bit lightheaded. Maybe you should drive.
So you don't, you just think you should have the right to get others sick.
When did we lose the right to make others sick? It's so important that is enshrined in the First Amendment. What makes you think you have the right to unilaterally remove the individual protections of the US Constitution?

Your rights end where others begin. You do not have the right to recklessly endanger others.

You do not have the right to imprison me because you are old, obese and sick and are "endangered" by covid-19. If you are not old, obese and sick then you are not going to get be 'recklessly endangered" by me going out. This really is an inane argument. "Reckless endangerment" would be coughing, sneezing or spitting on you. You have no right to a presumption of germ-free public areas.

You are recklessly endangering people by breathing within a six radius of other people.
