Fauci predicted a fatality rate of 0.00725% and 99.99375 survival?
And we shut the country down for THAT?

Science says you don't know how to account for deaths. According to Trump's CDC, "Based on death certificate data, the percentage of deaths attributed to pneumonia, influenza, or COVID-19 (PIC) for week 39 was 6.4%, which was lower than the percentage during week 38 (9.5%), but above the epidemic threshold. These percentages will likely increase as more death certificates are processed."

So you're OK with accepting flu and pneumonia deaths as covid deaths or did you just copy and paste without reading it?
Also from Cdc: Deaths due to COVID-19 may be misclassified as pneumonia or influenza deaths in the absence of positive test results, and pneumonia or influenza may appear on death certificates as a comorbid condition.

yes, I am, because I understand how the system works.

Death certificates aren't a scantron where you can only fill in one spot. It's an essay question.

So, someone dies, they had cancer, it gets ruled it as a cancer death. But they still order a covid test. Later, the test comes back positive. So, then the CDC, which is the final arbiter of death certificats in the US, updates the covid death count by 1.

That can also happen the other way. Let's say they die. And the local people mark it as a covid death. Test comes back negative (or shows it was mistakenly classified) so, the count gets reduced by 1.

We can't know the deaths in real time. There's a delay. AND we'll never really know how many people this killed.

Also, according to the CDC, that if you remove the tracked covid deaths, the US is still 80,000 deaths higher than average. ARe they all covid deaths? No. Are some, yes? Are some due to someone not seeking treatment due to a fear of contracting covid? yeah, certainly. Are some due to there not being staff available to care for them due to covid? Yeah.

The "test" is a pcr test, which isn't actually a test, rather a procedure that can illuminate the presence of a molecule. Therefore, pcr can find numerous indications of the presence of just about anything you specifically look for. It does not verify the cause of death or even if they were actually sick. It just shows the presence, which in actuality sounds like we are close to herd immunity without intervention. It's just misleading, as in your example, when someone dies of some cause, then gets counted as covid if they can be determined to have a link to covid. The number of adults with herpes of some form is something close to 70%, so we could also say that herpes is responsible for most of the deaths. it's however you want to apply to results.

We're no where near herd immunity. 60% of the population has to have it and survived.

And the other factor- we know that you can get it more than once.

So, there isn't really herd immunity.

Agree... we need more people to get it to get herd immunity. Thankfully, the President is helping get us there.

How many people have gotten it more then once? Please post some examples here.

These stories say getting it more them once is extremely rare. These are stories I'd send to you to make MY point.

You don't know if there's herd immunity unless you test everyone for antibodies. All you can do is extrapolate which isn't done with this because only "sick" people get tested. Also, reinfection was off topic but that would point towards no chance a vaccine would work but for the short term. But like I already said, the test is not really a test so reinfection can be argued.

You don't need to know if there is herd immunity... they virus dies out and goes away like every prior pandemic.

Look at him. He's clearly still got a fever. Homeboy is struggling.

And if the timeline they've put out is right, then he's still infectious. And if he is better now, then they lied about his infection timeline.

You are feverish. God didn’t intervene on your side. That’s because you aren’t the good guys.
