Confirmed cases are not equal to all cases. Of all cases, the immunologist asserts the survival rate is as high as 99.85%. This is because many people are either asymptomatic or not tested.
So the range is between 99.40 and 99.85. If you assume our current testing regime finds almost all cases, you will say it is the low end. If you recognize that many cases are never tested you will say it is the high end. That’s what the immunologist is doing.
It is barely more deadly than the flu, and yet we have wrecked millions of livelihoods because of it. Pure hysteria. Mistakes were made.
