"WHO Says Studies Put Coronavirus Mortality Rate at 0.6%
August 3rd, 2020, 4:09 PM PDT

"Maria Van Kerkhove, the World Health Organization’s top epidemiologist on Covid-19, said several studies estimate the mortality rate of the novel coronavirus at 0.6%. "That may not sound like a lot, but it is quite high," she said. Van Kerkhove and Mike Ryan, the head of the WHO's Health Emergencies Program, spoke Monday at a press briefing in Geneva.

Spoiler alert: He says it's not that bad.
He says it's comparable to the flu.
He says the lockdowns are insane.
But what does he know?


He's just a Swedish ER doctor

Not according to your own source linked in the OP.

See post #4 above.

BTW over 700 K dead this year so far alone. And that with extreme measures in place. Without which it would be way - way - worse.


nah

It's much ado about nothing for Conservatives. It will be much ado about nothing for liberals following the election.

:think2: Well that depends. If Trump gets the boot your statement will most likely be true. That's because he will actually treat a global pandemic seriously and people will feel some actual level of leadership and support again. Biden and most people possess something that Trump does not.....consideration & care for others. Maybe if Trump didn't minimize the threat of this pandemic we wouldn't be talking about this and still dealing with it in this Country. just look at the numbers. We are dead last in containing this virus...Bottom of the barrel.

And on this 0.6% bullshit festeringZ speaks of, what point are you trying to prove???
Do you honestly want to somehow argue against a virus killing too many people daily? One that is 6x more deadly than the flu and 2x more deadly than measles? So I guess to you the 719,000+ people dead from Covid is no big deal. Let's just carry on and minimize this pandemic further so more people get really sick, die, and the economy breaks even further. Let's take this same opinion of yours and tell others Covid is no real threat so it can continue to spread and go on forever. This attitude has led us to the point where the rest of the world won't fly into the Country & won't let us travel to other Countries....You ever think about how much money that is for our economy? Probably not. You continue to blame the 'leftists' for their stances, the ones who want to take more drastic measures to slow the never ending spread going on in this Country. I've heard SO many state how the economy will be devastated due to the 'leftists'..This is simply not thinking things through. What will lead to more economic collapse in this Country: Shutting things down for a month or two or continuing to force businesses, schools, and other public settings to go on as normal, only to see it lead to further spread like we have for the past 5 month SO FAR? 2 months of shutdown isn't even a fraction of the devastation our economy is & will see from individuals continuing to force the economy to open while the risk hasn't gone down.

I guess 9/11 was just another day for you....After all, that was only 0.0010% of the population in the United States. I guess hurricane Katrina was alright too, which was about half of what 9/11 was. Tell me, what # of people would be high enough for you to have some sensitivity towards those that have lost family members? 300 thousand? 1 million? 10 million? Well, the number is getting higher every day, especially in this Country.

Maybe you should go say this disgusting opinion to one of the receptionists where I work, who just buried her Uncle due to this 0.6% fatality rate virus. I wonder how that would make her feel.....U people disgust me. Have a good time living in your distorted mind supporting a prez that is gradually stripping your democracy from underneath you. Wake Up. I'm not even mad, I just feel sorry for people that can't see what is directly in front of them.
