The German RKI estimates a 0.5% worst case death rate

Understandable argument if you hate your boomer parents.

"As of 9am on 28 March 2020, a total of 120,776 people have been tested, of which 103,687 were confirmed negative and 17,089 were confirmed positive."

"As of 5pm on 27 March 2020, 1,019 patients in the UK who tested positive for coronavirus (COVID-19) have died."

According to covid19info.live/ 146 people in the uk have recovered so far.

cfr = 1019 / 17089 x 100 = 5.96%
recovery rate = 146 / 17089 x 100 = 0.85%

The uk has some of the best healthcare in the world and still nearly 6% of people who catch it are dying, and not to mention we've only just arrived at the 'boom' phase of this pandemic.

This is not a fucking nothinburger

>The uk has some of the best healthcare in the world and still nearly 6% of people who catch it are dying
That's 6% of people confirmed to have the virus, not 6% of people who catch it. There are potentially millions more who have already have it but don't need hospilization.

By comparison, the yearly flu mortality rate is calcuated by guessing how many people got the flu in total, not only confirmed cases. If it was only based on hospilizations and confirmed testing the yearly flu death rate would be scary too.

Bottom line is people are going to die from this and it will be a "thing" every year. Not just this year. "Global society" will adapt, the machine will continue, and the "dawn of a new day" will present itself. Virtualization of the industrial society isn't going away, its accelerating.

>6% of people who catch it are dying
You mean 5.1% (761/14754 -- notice it's dropping) of people *confirmed* to catch it are dying.
What this guy said In the U.S., 10% of people *confirmed* to have influenza die.
The reason those numbers are so high is because the vast majority of cases are mild and are never tested. Tests are disproportionately given to those with the most severe symptoms and most at risk of dying.

Es ist einemGar-Nix-Frikadelle!

thats exactly what we are seeing everywhere! oh wait....

the RKI is pretty much the official gov think tank on corona

Influenza: 50,000 cases per week in Berlin alone
Corona: 50,000 cases nationwide in total

How is it spreading quicker???

>total of 120,776 people have been tested
Here is the problem, mate. We have tested over a million, so we also cought 10 times more cases, mostly mild once.

If you tested like we do, your death rate would be 0.3 percent like it is the case here.
