The point of the post was that the infections in a wave start with the younger population. They do not get as sick and die at a significantly lower rate-- and pass it off to the older generation that gets sicker but still passes it off to the older generation that gets a lot sicker--three generations in all.Yeah but, 5% and 3% of what?
Of the people who have tested positive for the virus?
The people who have Covid on their death certificate because it was detected but may not have been the cause of death.
As a percentage of per million population I think you'll find it's somewhere around 0.05%! Hardly a species threatening statistic is it...
The world is bickering about the particulars when it is obviously a terrible pandemic-- the worst since the 1918 flu.
Wait two or three years when the true numbers come out. It will likely be three times the official number. Currently that would be 3 million in the world and 600 thousand in the US.
For the US, that equals the 1918 pandemic. It is better for the World rate though
By the way, death rate is much higher than .05%. I think that number comes from the russian trolls that convoluted the CDC numbers.
