It's .02% last time I did the math.

i did some reading about the covid deaths rate, and apparently you gotta know how to use triangles or circles to do that, and i never learned triangles and circles in school.

just saying..

i came up with a new method for calculating the covid death rate, here it is:

if you die, and you are no longer breathing and you are no longer able to urinate or defecate, you probly have covid and your death will be recorded as a covid illness.

i am a doctor. (I have had safe rectal sex with dr fauci)

200k dead out of 300 million is already more than that. There are urban areas like NYC with rates 10x higher than that as a fraction of the total population already.

According to DuckDuckGo's stats, 33,982,900 have been infected and 1,014,352 died. I guess that's 3% and I goofed. It's still low.

Seems more reliable to just look at overall deaths from any cause, and whether they are up much this year compared to previous years (and variation from year to year). This avoids the COVID-19 misclassification issue.

No, these are the number of "confirmed" infected (with a broken test, mind you) of an "illness" that is mostly imaginary ("asymptomatic") and the FUDGED number of "deaths by covid" hyper-inflated to make it look like something is actually happening.

Yes. Places like New York. The deaths are so terrible there. For some reason.
