2% of 8 billion people is 160 million people. That'd be 3x the Spanish Flu death toll which was the worst epidemic in modern history

The mortality rate is well under 1%.

There is a .11% infection rate in endemic areas. New studies illustrate that COVID-19 infection rate is 2x slower than influenza. The death risk is is well under 1% for 18 years olds and 45 year olds, it is only 75+ years olds where the death risk climbs to well over 1%. However, risk does not equal mortality rate. If you take into account infection rate, than the actual mortaliry rate is less than 0.01%.

we all know that all 8 billion people won't contract it so those numbers are a bit dramatic. We also know that that 2% rate is going to come down as more people contract COVID and recover from it, which most people are. The deaths are in a very select group of people, older people or people with underlying health conditions.

The comparisoon to the Spanish flu is simply fearmobgwring of the highest order. The media and government often uses death risk and propagandizes in such a way that death risk now becomes the mortality rate.

COVID-19 does not kill 18 year olds. They have a 218x probability of dying from life than from COVID-19.

Older people, 75+, if you account for infection rate, a probability of dying of old age of 418 times that of COVID-19.

The reason Spanish Flu killed younger folks, is because of a sepsis like response where the immune system became overwhelmed and started to attack its own host. Not just immunity but the immune response to this flu was too much for the body to handle.

This is NOT HAPPENING WITH COVID-19.

Over 90% of people with COVID-19 will not get symptoms which is another reason why testing everyone is pointless.

And all the PsyOps involved in this COVID-19 narrative illustrate to me at least that they have ulterior motives.
