Yeah, theyre already counting that, as evidenced in the marked decline in other illness categories.

Do we count suicide, and deaths caused by economic catastrophe as well?

Goalposts.

If we assume the testing is a representative sample of the population on the whole, which has a case sample in the multiple millions, in the US alone now, then we can extrapolate the data to assume nearly 20%of the entire US population has already contracted Covid.

This means that there approximately 72million people infected already with just around 60k deaths.

This means covid has a mortality rate of 0.08%

Or is a case study of over 3million (nearly 1%of the entire US population) not enough for you fucking retards too stupid to understand basic biological statistical methods?
Considering how angry you are with our statistical abilities you make some wild assumptions about the data set you're working with, and some sweet cherry picking of that data. You're assuming a random sample and complete set when it's known neither are present. Any conclusions reached under those assumptions are open to further analysis and interpretation. If you made different assumptions you would likely have a different conclusion... I mean I'm seriously having to type this out? This is a core concept of stats. The fuck are you on about? You can't say we're bad at stats because you chose to make certain assumptions to reach your conclusion. Maybe we made different assumptions? No need for personal insults either, but if we're doing that maybe you're the fucking retard who's too stupid to understand statistics?

For example out of closed coronavirus cases (recovered or dead) in the US we have a 27% mortality rate. I can throw out "statistically correct" numbers that fly in the face of your .08% mortality rate conclusion. The mortality rate is likely nowhere near 27% though, just as it's likely higher than your .08% conclusion.


How are so many people fucking experts with definitive answers these days? You don't know shit about viral pandemics more than I do and you use "statistics are malleable" to it's textbook definition. The god damn armchair quarterbacks have evolved into internet oracles.

Typical shill response. Lets assume the data set is biased towards those suspectung they are infected, instead fearmongering hypchondriacs, and lets assume its off by a magnitude of 500%.

This shit is at best a 0.4% mortality rate, and is laudibly variating from the stated 3.5% it started out being toted as.

The data on the confirmed vs dead doesnt even match up to the originally projected mortality rate, yet the circus goes on.

What about all those people not dying tho? All those angry bastards punching each other to death in that road rage down on 5th? Workplace guy getting back at the supervisor by killing him and fourteen others? Bank teller couldn't follow instructions fast enough?

Now even if all those people do is go home and get covid that's fine, cause nine out of ten deadly violence victims is still better than zero out of ten deadly violence victims. I mean if we lived in a high-crime society I would be down with releasing various viruses as a means to control the criminal element. I don't care anymore!

Hopefully that 10% contains 100% of the cucks and the shills. I'm not sure who is who but they seem to be diametrically opposed and seem to show up here and there and call people the other thing they're not.

I'm slightly predisposed to the cucks but that's only on a phonetic basis. "Cuck" sounds like one of those angry Germanic guys with a dirty axe. Cück the Strong! On the other hand shill sounds like one of those guys from the Middle East who is trying to screw you over somehow, you're not sure how but you can just feel it in your bones. Shill Shalom.
