Slimy jelly jew, you do not argue my points, instead you divert and pivot every time you're in trouble.
Your link proves nothing, You do not even make an argument how it would. You're a dumbfuck, only interested in derailing conversation. Your link doesn't even directly contradict what I'm saying, I posted studies that directly supported my argument, you pivot to comparing absolute numbers limited to one single year. Mortality of influenza in 2012 for 75 year olds was higher than covid in 2020. You have to try harder.
Not to mention, your source is a silly hodgepodge of data, clearly driving a narrative, while mine is generalized, much more suitable for our purposes.
You shopped around for the lowest cfr you could find for covid which pulls from a lot of countries with low covid mortality due to conditions that are not typical to the US or Europe but OK, we can use your CFR which is measures by covid fatalities divided by estimated number of people with antibodies from seroprevalence studies.
1 % for people 65 to 69 8 % for people over 80
About the study you have cited: I see alot of statistical analysis about shifting mortalities in pandemics due to influeza. Is there a CFR in there? Couldn’t find it. Maybe Ive overlooked it. What is need for a comparison is :
People dead from flu / People infected with the flu.
Can you go find something like this that shows flu is more fatal that covid?
All I see is mortality per 1000 people in that study, and that is not the same as cfr at all.
Instead of insulting, just bring the relavant data for the debate. I don’t see that here. You didn’t make your case.
You're moving the goalposts. I'm not interested.
Covid does not have an extremely high mortality rate. Pushing this discussion into how exactly this compares to the flu isn't relevant, even you're able to find the most horrifying covid numbers (go for early studies, those are the most alarming) you can't claim covid has an extreme mortality rate while the flu is a nothingburger.
As I posted this before, even giving you the most generous assumptions, your argument does not hold.
