    Death rate is:


    Total deaths
    ____________________ = fatality
    Total exposures rate

    Again, without an accurate denominator, a calculation is meaningless

    Not political at all. I am just irritated at how dumb some people can be. Many on this forum are quite smart. Many on this forum are switched on. Many understand and see what is going on. Some are dumb as a door doorknob.

    Just for the US....
    "CDC estimates that influenza has resulted in between 9 million – 45 million illnesses, between 140,000 – 810,000 hospitalizations and between 12,000 – 61,000 deaths annually since 2010."

    From.... Burden of Influenza

    Now cut the BS!
    Take your politics elsewhere.

    You understand that many could have already been exposed and moved beyond it, right?

    I think this is fairly accurate.

    I would like to question VOX and see the source data because. The case fatality rate is misleading.

    If I get sick today, I am not dead yet and I did not full recover yet.... I am considered a pending active case that has not been resolved. But I am still counted among the total cases.

    Then you understand they would be counted as recovered right?

    As are everyone else who has been exposed, was symptomatic or asymptomatic and not tested. They too must be counted among total cases and we have no clue as to how widespread this thing was before the Chicoms fessed up

    That's the point. As of now those are NOT being counted because serelogical tests are not being done and the swab test does not pick them up
