The mortality rate of COVID-19 is similar to that of a bad flu. Says who? Says Dr. Anthony Fauci.

[Mark Crispin Miller]

This "editorial" first appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine on Feb. 28.

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"?

"On the basis of a case definition requiring a diagnosis of pneumonia, the currently reported case fatality rate is approximately 2%.⁴ 

In another article in the Journal, Guan et al.⁵ 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"
