The Coronavirus, not the beer

In less fortunate news, it looks like the "gold standard" death rate in South Korea has been slowly creeping up. The seem to have new cases under control, but existing cases keep dying.

9,583 cases, 152 deaths = 1.59% CFR, and probably rising at this point.

South Korea has been the main reason for optimism on the CFR. Maybe 1% is too optimistic.
 
Case fatality rate was always going to increase.

The way its calculated is incorrect based on the assumption that all new cases dont result in a death.
 
As well as the fact they dont analyze case results based on stratified days.that they are recorded.

There is a doctor named Cameron Kyle-Sidell who is raising some interesting questions about what the low oxygen readings of very sick COVID-19 patients really means and whether intubation is the correct response. And interview with him can be found at:

Regarding death rates, I thought this article raises a lot of great points and questions and adds additional perspective.

Yeah, I think it absolutely fair to say we don't have high super-high levels of confidence in the long-term models at this point because the underlying data just isn't that good; that's essentially what Fauci was saying earlier (rather than the gaslighting spin thethe was positing). We have no data on a full cycle of this virus, we just don't know what is gonna happen, and we don't know what effects the measure's we've taken are going to have. All we have right now are educated guesses based on the imperfect data we do have.

I think some of the specific points that guy makes are questionable, but the overarching point of "let's not pretend we know more than we do" is always good to keep in mind.
 
dude, i'm just sharing it cause it's stupid as **** clip during a supposed pandemic news conference

but really it's just daily bull**** rallies for him and we all know what the "someone told me" or "people are saying" etc bull**** line really means.

I thought it was supposed to go down as testing becomes more widespread.
