I'm just culling out information here, not commenting on it... yet anyway.
The first major point it makes is that Dr. Fauci, the US' "top immunologist," is quoted in the New England Journal of Medicine (March 26) as saying:
This suggests 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.2

Fester rules claim as: TRUE
yeah i wouldn't call this a conspiracy but the presenter did omit specific information which is that Fauci did not say this has the same death rate as the season flu but that it compares MORE CLOSELY to the flu than to MERS and SARS. Fauci's worst-case estimated rate is 1.4% (and likely closer to a flat 1%) so, while closer to the flu's 0.1%, is hardly apples to apples.
The problem I have is with his new range of up to 200k Americans dying. Some simple math tells you that for you to reach 200k dead at a 1% death rate that 20M Americans would have to become infected. and with such drastic physical distancing rules in place that simply doesn't make any sense. using the new study published this week that the real death rate is 0.66% then for 200k deaths you're looking at 30M Americans needing to be infected. I highly doubt 30M will be tested let alone confirmed

Almost everything we knew even a few weeks ago was anecdotal. Even most of what we know now is anecdotal. It's scary. Is New York just one big failure, or s it what's coming everywhere?
