You guys hear about that new common cold variant??? It's HIGHLY dangerous. You only have a 99.92% chance of surviving this one.

Looks like Baler is susceptible Facebook news being posted.
An Instagram post claimed that the COVID-19 survival rate is over 99% for most age groups.
The data it cited does not show the likelihood of surviving COVID-19. The post’s claim is based on data used to model pandemic scenarios. Experts say a person cannot determine their own chances at surviving COVID-19 by looking at national statistics, because the data doesn’t take into account the person’s own risks and COVID-19 deaths are believed to be undercounted. Survival rate data is not yet available from the CDC.
We rate this claim False.
