Sorry Archie, but your decimal points are off by a factor of 1000. The case fatality rate early in March for COVID was as high as 3%. CFR =number of deaths/number of people who actually had the disease. In March, we did not realize that one could be seropositive and have no symptoms. The denominator was small. Since then the denominator has risen and there are now 82 seroprevalence studies worldwide that all agree that the median CFR is about .2%, translated for you Archie, 2 per 1000, not your erroneous number of 2 per 100. That is fact, something that at times eludes you.
COVID is not equally dangerous to everybody. We know that. There is a thousand fold difference between the mortality rate in older individuals, 70 and up and the mortality rate in children. If COVID was a disease that preferentially attacked and killed children, I would react much differently. I hold Biden to that standard as well and he failed miserably. By closing schools in this current COVID pandemic, we are asking those individuals who face very little, if actually any risk, to bear the burden of controlling this disease. With H1N1, I may have thought differently.
You sure are opinionated Archie, certainly your right, but you have little science, training and facts with which to base your opinions upon. And when your intellect is called into question, you resort to your typical degradation of the various messengers. I enjoy this at times, because I believe it is informative for others on this forum, but I must say, you do yourself no favor by exposing yourself as a fool at times masquerading as someone with a keen comprehension of actual facts.
