Dr. Fauci: Coronavirus death rate like very bad flu

Well, this won't sit well with some.


Dr. Anthony Fauci, a key member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, co-authored an article published Thursday in the New England Journal of Medicine predicting the fatality rate for the coronavirus will turn out to be like that of a "severe seasonal influenza."

In an exceptionally bad flu season, the case fatality rate is about one-tenth of 1 percent, the authors write.

Regarding the current coronavirus pandemic, they said: "If one assumes that the number of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic cases is several times as high as the number of reported cases, the case fatality rate may be considerably less than 1%."

Taking into account the unreported cases, they conclude "that the overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza (which has a case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%) or a pandemic influenza (similar to those in 1957 and 1968) rather than a disease similar to SARS or MERS, which have had case fatality rates of 9 to 10% and 36%, respectively."

Fake news. Not all flu cases are reported either. This is much worse than the flu, the fatality rate isn’t even close. Sad that the president has caused his retard followers to not understand the seriousness of the situation. That’s a lot of the reason that this is spreading so quickly.

2000 dead from COVID-19 in 2020
24,000 dead from flu in 2020


"retard"...……..I bet you throw rocks at special needs kids

The flu rate has been know for a long time. They have it down statistically speaking cold. They've randomly tested people for antibodies to the flu after the season to see if the person had it at any point. You do know that, right? The Wuhan virus was NOVEL and as such had to be treated as a very dangerous pathogen. The looney left just carried it too far because they are ignorant. You aren't ignorant, are you?

Sure, they gather stats on the flu, but there are unknown cases of it, obviously. COVID-19 has a high fatality rate. And if people weren’t in isolation and taking measures to avoid it, the death count would b much higher. That should be obvious, even to you. Blaming the media s absurd and pathetic.

One more time. After the flu season goes by they test for the antibodies to it. They take a random sample from the populatin to do it. Therefore they are able to a high degree of certainty say how many people have died from the flu and from influenza like illnesses (aka ILI's) versus how many actually caught it. Did you follow that?

Fauci, presumably, has done preliminary work in a similar manner for him to characterize this Wuhan virus as similar to a very bad flu. Did you follow that?

So you see no reason to worry about this, huh? You eat out of your puppet master’s hand. The fatality rate is much higher than the standard flu. The whole world is worried about this, not just th US media. Edited

So Fauci and the other author's published article in the 'NEJM' is fake news?

What that has to do with fake news or Trump is beyond reason though.

A “flu” where 15% of those infected will die in the absence of excellent medical care in a functioning hospital.

The Fox Noise/winger idea of a regular old “flu.”

Ah, no wonder you love this virus so much, so you can lust over the deaths of political opponents. Sick.

I’m hoping for that? That’s what you get from my urging that Trump do what should have been done months ago to avoid unnecessary deaths?

Think about how utterly illogical that is.
I just pointed it out to him in a way he could understand.
