Understandably... the finalized CFR is available at the end of the outbreak when all the cases and deaths are analyzed. The typical problem is that many deaths are missed while an outbreak is underway and upon analyzing the data the CFR goes up. The current CFR while a pandemic is underway is still very useful for examining policy and response. However the CFR and IFR for a disease are different; CFR is proven and IFR is estimated. CFR is based on known cases -- for COVID this is positive cases proven by a test. The known cases for COVID in western countries with test capacity is definitive -- trying to claim the number of COVID cases is unknown is absurd -- the positive tests define known cases. The Infection Fatality Rate (IFR) is based on estimated infections -- which attempts to account for the total infections across society including people who were not tested.
You are perpetually failing at this. Bullshit CFR numbers are useless and no one uses them. CFR in the UK is like 0.2%. But that doesn’t stop vaccine priests from telling lies.
The U.K. has 129,430 COVID deaths and 5,770,928 COVID cases as of today. The U.K. proven CFR is 2.24%. Stop pushing nonsense.
When you look at this NIH study below... you realize we could have easily been at natural herd immunity for the healthy people out and about... when you add up the people who were found to have antibodies and all the people who may have already developed immunity you can see why the virus would peak and roll over for each variant... But morons acting like their proven CFR is useful... will deny it. == "For every diagnosed COVID-19 case in this time frame, the researchers estimate that there were 4.8 undiagnosed cases, representing an additional 16.8 million cases by July alone." https://www.nih.gov/news-events/new...-prevalence-far-exceeded-early-pandemic-cases NIH study suggests COVID-19 prevalence far exceeded early pandemic cases In a new study, National Institutes of Health researchers report that the prevalence of COVID-19 in the United States during spring and summer of 2020 far exceeded the known number of cases and that infection affected the country unevenly. For every diagnosed COVID-19 case in this time frame, the researchers estimate that there were 4.8 undiagnosed cases, representing an additional 16.8 million cases by July alone. The team’s analysis of blood samples from people who did not have a previously diagnosed SARS-CoV-2 infection, along with socioeconomic, health, and demographic data, offers insight into the undetected spread of the virus and subgroup vulnerability to undiagnosed infection. ...
So as noted in the NIH information the researchers for this study estimate that there were 4.8 infections ("undiagnosed cases") for each proven case by testing during the spring & summer of 2020. This fully backs-up what I have been stating regarding the proven Case Fatality Rate and the estimated Infection Fatality Rate. As noted in this study and others -- the number of infections for each proven cases very early in the pandemic was high (close to 10 to 1) due to the lack of available testing at the time. As more testing became available this ratio was reduced to about 3 to 1. In the time period studied in late spring of summer of 2020 in this study the ratio was 4.8 to 1 -- which is reasonable. This is why the estimated IFR (Infection Fatality Rate) in the U.S. is one quarter of the proven Case Fatality Rate. Recent figures being in the range of 2.0% for CFR and 0.55% for IFR for the U.S. CFR, which is proven, is a very useful measure for addressing a disease and establishing public policy -- even while an outbreak is underway.
The UK COVID-19 CFR has shown a strong, downward trend since January 2021 and is currently at an all-time low of 0.186% as of 10 July 2021. https://collateralglobal.org/article/delta-variant-vs-case-fatality-rate-in-the-uk/ CFR IS AS USELESS A METRIC AS YOU ARE A COVID POSTER
You push an article from a COVID-denier website with charts with no data sourcing. Of course this article is pushing the fabrication that the Delta variant is less lethal -- which has been thoroughly debunked. Why don't you get your information from reputable sources.
Where is your source for 12 vaccine deaths? Super reputable - I’m sure …just that it doesn’t exist. Everyone is a covid denier unless they are shitting bricks and lying - like you.
A search proves how full of shit you are... ... one of your first quotes on this subject... was the last time you told the truth about the usefulness of the CFR during a pandemic... ... https://www.elitetrader.com/et/thre...ate-will-be-about-6-to-7.342021/#post-5075015 How to calculate the mortality rate during an outbreak https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-death-rate/#correct How to calculate the mortality rate during an outbreak At present, it is tempting to estimate the case fatality rate by dividing the number of known deaths by the number of confirmed cases. The resulting number, however, does not represent the true case fatality rate and might be off by orders of magnitude [...] A precise estimate of the case fatality rate is therefore impossible at present
Look at this quote from May where you just twisted and tortured logic about the usefulness of a CFR during the pandemic. yet a few weeks earlier your definition showed the CFR could be off by an orders of magnitude...
