I don't see anyone suggesting that early and vast testing prevented a spread.
Of course early and vast testing helps to slow the spread. You can ID and isolate people before they spread it to other people.
So you don't see any difference in how we should react between a mortality rate of 10% and a mortality rate of 0.01%?Since all that matters is the number of total deaths, I do not see at all how it matters if more people have gotten COVID-19 and a lower % have fatal results?
It is likely true. But it still makes sense to do precautions in order to reduce transmission speed.
Neat.

Cool. Does it carry more weight if it's coming from epidemiology experts including Dr. Fauci, and published in the New England Journal of Medicine?
A fatality rate like that of "a severe influenza... considerably less than 1%" -- Dr. Fauci's words, not Danfromsquirrelhill's
No, it doesn't carry any more weight. Facts are facts.Neat.

That's not a quote from Fauci, Why are you making shit up? Here it is:
On the basis of a case definition requiring a diagnosis of pneumonia, the currently reported case fatality rate is approximately 2%.4 In another article in the Journal, Guan et al.5 report mortality of 1.4% among 1099 patients with laboratory-confirmed Covid-19; these patients had a wide spectrum of disease severity. If one assumes that the number of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic cases is several times as high as the number of reported cases, the case fatality rate may be considerably less than 1%. This suggests that the overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza (which has a case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%) or a pandemic influenza (similar to those in 1957 and 1968) rather than a disease similar to SARS or MERS, which have had case fatality rates of 9 to 10% and 36%, respectively.2
You appear to purposefully remove the "may be".
Here is a very recent interview with Fauci where he describes COVID19 in that it's more contagious and 10 times more lethal than the flu.
No, it doesn't carry any more weight. Facts are facts.Neat.

We are discussing how lethal it is in this thread. Your claim is based on ignorance, not facts. Fauci doesn't know how lethal it is. He's a TDS moron like you.
Turds like you are doing all the bullshitting.Just another exercise in bullshitting for Trumpbots?
What have I posted that isn't a fact?No, it doesn't carry any more weight. Facts are facts.Neat.

No, my claim is based on people who know what they are talking about, not some rando on the internet.
Fauci and Birx are saying 100k-200k deaths most likely in the U.S.
Turds like you are doing all the bullshitting.Just another exercise in bullshitting for Trumpbots?
You get a more accurate number than going by figures where not all the people who have the disease have been tested. That means the rest of the world, dumbass.What have I posted that isn't a fact?No, it doesn't carry any more weight. Facts are facts.Neat.

The premise of this thread that by looking at Iceland alone and ignoring the rest of the world we can deduce the mortality rate.
Neat.

ROFL! Fauci is full of shit. He's spouting the same bullshit your spouting. Fatality rates that are based solely on the people who are tested, when that isn't everyone, are bogus. You like Fouci because he confirms your idiocy.
None of them are saying their "mortality" figures are accurate. However, the don't contradict morons like you who pretend they are.Turds like you are doing all the bullshitting.Just another exercise in bullshitting for Trumpbots?
Right...all the medical experts in the whole world are outright lying, while a few enlightened people like yourself are the only ones that know the truth....
Are you truly that stupid or are you, like I said, just exercising your ability to BULLSHIT?
oh for fk sake.Unlike TDS morons, he can do simple math.Neat.

He picked a single country (Iceland) to compare to the US population to determine the COVID-19 mortality rate. Why Iceland? Why not Italy?
Because Iceland is doing studies via testing on infected/non-infected population counts.
Great. How has that early and vast testing benefited Iceland in preventing the spread? You know, the exact opposite of what we did. We kind of followed the Italian head up the ass model in fighting this disease.
