There have been numerous medical papers posted showing HCQ is completely ineffective for COVID. All the leading public health and medical associations have told doctors to stop using it. Using HCQ only increased deaths and did nothing to lower COVID deaths. Once a necessary level of the population is vaccinated then herd immunity will be arrived at — effectively ending the threat from COVID. This is how vaccines work. Countries that locked down properly and performed proper contact tracing and testing such as South Korea, New Zealand, Taiwan and others have effectively eliminated COVID — their economies are now open without restrictions except for incoming travel. Countries that failed to follow public health guidelines such as Brazil and the United States are enduring the worse... and the upcoming winter will only make the situation more dismal.
Enduring the worse? Relative to whom... I noticed you eliminated germany from your list great countries and now you have 2 islands and and isolated country on a peninsula which may as well be an island. Now do I wish we closed our borders yes... if they are going to use those stats to shut us down... but... in terms of deaths... right now... per capita... US is doing far better than many Euro countries. Could it change yes. https://ourworldindata.org/coronavi...othing=7&pickerMetric=location&pickerSort=asc
You are kidding right. You cite islands? WTF? By the way, the predicted death rate by Wildchild in March was between .6% to .7%. The estimated death rate this fall by the CDC is .65%
It might end up being around .6-.7%, but it was a lucky guess, not based on legitimate statistical analysis on your part lol. We don't have a decent estimate of the number of unconfirmed cases. Without a reasonable range to estimate that it's impossible to get an estimate down to a .1% margin.
It was not a lucky guess. Pretty straight forward analysis with data that was publicly available at the time.
