So this is part of the problem. You have laymen like me who fail to properly explain things. The issue (I think) with this stanford study, in addition to selection bias, was that they had two false positives out of 401 tested samples the actual range of the false positive rate could be much higher than 1.2%, meaning that false positives could account for many if not all of the positive cases. Or at least this is my understanding trying to read critiques of it. I'm assuming that had this been done on a much larger scale with the same ratios that it would be much more statistically...robust is maybe the word? It's also pretty contradictory to the fact that we've already had over .1% of the population of NYC die from covid19, and unlikely that the entire population of NYC has been infected already or that the death total will stop right now.
If the falso positives were 20%, it would still indicate a mortality rate of less than 0.3 percent.

Unless your one of these mouth breathing idiots- You would have noticed that they're discovering covid-19 has been killing people in different ways unknown to this point, like with the new discovery its causing cardiac arrest in people that were otherwise unknown to be sick. Just those extra death alone puts it between 1 and 2%

Edit- for the uninformed, covid-19 attacks the ACE2 cell which is found in a few places in your body. The higher rate of death for men is because it's in our nuts. Well the other place this is found is lining our blood vessels And that's why they think diabetics and over weight people have the highest percentage of deaths. They noticed statically heart attacks have gone up since November

It’s causing a novel form of coagulopathy that’s causing both large vessel occlusions and MIs. The immune system often does the killing during a viral infection, which is why diabetes, hypertension, and obesity dramatically increase the mortality rate.

That said, I don’t think we actually know all that much about this virus

Thank you said it a lot better than I could. I agree it's kind of scary what this virus can do before you realize there's a problem and they really have no idea

Do you have a link? The only studies I found on pubmed were Chinese, and I don’t trust or believe low IQ hive minds who can’t produce female orgasm. Any reputable institutions studying the findings you postulate ?
