I saw today that the American CDC is now reporting a death rate of .4%, that's a 10-fold decrease from earlier estimates of 4%. That's a huuugggge difference. If the reports of 3.5 million cases worldwide, the new estimates would indicate that at least 35 million people have been either symptomatic or non-symptomatic with the COVID infection. Some have estimated a 10-fold higher number for cases (Chris) and they might have been correct. On the other hand, testing isn't (or hasn't been heretofore) where it could be to determine the actual numbers.
Of course, sources in the U.S. are questioning the reality of the CDC numbers...I can assure you though, no I can't...If I was a conspiracy theorist, I would be wholly consfused right now...
