*So what twisted game is Dr. Fauci playing? And how come "our free press," which* *treats him as an oracle, has missed this estimate of his, which contradicts their * *terroristic **coverage of this pandemic—coverage squarely based on his and Bill Gates' * *wild exaggerations of the threat posed by "the new coronavirus"? * *MCM * *"On the basis of a case definition requiring a diagnosis of pneumonia, the currently reported case fatality rate is approximately 2%.4 <https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMe2002387?fbclid=IwAR3psHRYCZL1uIMKU2cJuSrpcc7SCs7kAIjjfDCmXqG_bOjcWd2Li-xXZHs#> * *In another article in the Journal, Guan et al.5 <https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMe2002387?fbclid=IwAR3psHRYCZL1uIMKU2cJuSrpcc7SCs7kAIjjfDCmXqG_bOjcWd2Li-xXZHs#> report mortality of 1.4% among 1099 patients with laboratory-confirmed Covid-19; these * *patients had a wide spectrum of disease severity. If one assumes that the number of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic cases * *is several times as high as the number of reported cases, the case fatality rate may be considerably less than 1%. This suggests that * *the overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza (which has a case * *fatality rate of approximately 0.1%) or a pandemic influenza (similar to those in 1957 and 1968) rather than a disease similar to SARS * *or MERS, which have had case fatality rates of 9 to 10% and 36%, respectively.2 <https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMe2002387?fbclid=IwAR3psHRYCZL1uIMKU2cJuSrpcc7SCs7kAIjjfDCmXqG_bOjcWd2Li-xXZHs#>"* Covid-19 — Navigating the Uncharted *- Anthony S.
