So I missed that - did you have some source of info that allowed you to make conclusions about COVID other than those made by the CDC?
Other countries? Here's some data for you:
That's from Switzerland, from a month ago.
Here's the US statistics on Flu. (I'm admittedly ignoring the data on coronavirus in that chart, because it is based on the very limited data of confirmed cases, versus the (unknown) total cases.)
Let's look at this. Hmm...
Flu death rate is estimated to be at .01% for ages 0-17 and .02% for people 18-49.
Coronavirus death rate is estimated to be .002% for age 5-9 and .0003% for ages 10-17. That's somewhere on the line of flu being 10 times deadlier. 18-49 it is estimated at .009%, which is more dangerous- it's almost HALF of the flu's death rate.
Once we get into the higher age brackets, it's now more deadly than the flu. (If this one broke down 40-50, I'm betting it would not be as deadly as the flu, as my recollection is that age 60 is where the deadliness truly increases.)
And, I predict, we'll now proceed to arguing about why I use that data
1 and don't trust the CDC data, instead of recognizing the CDC data is quite bad and limited, which is why I don't use the confirmed cases and confirmed deaths as the main source for
estimating the death rate.
1: "Why do you trust the Swiss?! That's where Davos is! Obviously they're just part of the same globalist conspiracy!!!" as an example of the type of argument.
