The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
imagine for example that there aren't 65,000 people in the United States that are infected with this corona virus but there are 650,000 people that are infected with corona virus well if that's the case then the case fatality rate goes from 1.4 2% to 0.14 2% that's in line with influenza
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
imagine for a moment that we weren't testing anybody and we had no way of knowing what was going on and we only thought there were 6500 cases of corona virus we'd still have 900 the deaths we would extrapolate that to be a case fatality rate of 14%
what if there are 6.5 million people infected with this thing you know what then this thing becomes less less lethal than influenza
