Oxford pegged it at .1-.36% weeks ago, IIRC this was back in March.
Back in March is when Trump was telling us that it would go away like a "miracle", and the doctors and scientists still didn't know much about this virus.
And, because there are new things about this virus being discovered on a regular basis, using outdated information from March isn't a very good thing to do.
1. Trump has nothing to do with the topic.
2. This number of .26 is right in the range predicted.
There were those with clearer heads studying this to get a handle on the real numbers as far back as March/April.
Sorry, but Trump DOES have something to do with the topic. He's the president, and how he responds to the pandemic and handles the virus will have a great deal to do with how many more people get infected and die.
He has nothing to do with the actual fatality rate any more than you or I do.
