"...the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention puts the [covid] mortality rate at 0.65 percent."
The United States already has the highest number of cases in the world and the most recorded deaths of any country. Though its 330 million people represent roughly 4.25 percent of the world’s population, the country has recorded just over 20 percent of deaths from covid-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus.
According to a Johns Hopkins University analysis, which is updated daily, the case fatality rate in the United States was 2.8 percent as of Thursday. That compares with the CDC’s 0.65 percent estimated infection fatality rate — which includes confirmed cases plus an estimate of those who may not even know they have been exposed. The case fatality rate in the United States is much higher than in South Korea, Taiwan and Iceland, where it has been below 2 percent, but lower than in some other hard-hit countries, such as Iran and Brazil.

"One important thing to get straight here is exactly how dangerous seasonal influenza is. The fatality rate that has been cited most often (including by me) is 0.1%, which happens to be about what you get if you divide the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s estimates of U.S. influenza deaths over the past nine years by its estimates of symptomatic cases. But just as with the coronavirus, testing has shown that many people infected with influenza viruses develop no flu symptoms. In a Twitter thread from February that a reader pointed out to me this week, University of Oxford infectious disease epidemiologist Christophe Fraser estimated that the actual infection fatality rate (which I will refer to from now on as IFR) of seasonal influenza is 0.04%.

Captain Lee all giddy now
Lol, we will probably have civil war in America by 2024-2025
I had it.
I do have to admit the thing that scared me is my sense of smell/taste was still off for months after. Really scared me that it would be permanent. It literally ruins food making restaurants not enjoyable anymore. One of my favorite things is going to nice restaurants
Fortunately its now almost fully back 4+ months later.
I never felt very sick. Just like an average cold.
When did this happen?
Funny i bet $100 on cincy -4 on monday and didnt realize i did
Monday nite i saw the line was 3 and put $100 on cincy
The next day i saw my pending wagers were off b/c i accidentally bet the game 2x. Just saw the $$ get credited back into my account after reading this.
