The United States recently reached 500,000 COVID-19 deaths That means the POPULATION fatality rate (i.e. deaths/population) for the US is 0.15% With an estimated ~25% infection rate, the INFECTION fatality rate is ~.6%

Another important piece of perspective is that, in the 12 months from March 2020-March 2021, COVID-19 will likely be the leading cause of death in the US

Also, these numbers align surprisingly well with
@LeaMerone and my figures produced way back in July 2020, which posited a population IFR of ~0.53-0.82%https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1201971220321809 …Show this thread

The true number of COVID deaths is probably about 25% higher than 500K because of undercounting. Particularly in rural areas and the Confederacy. I’d guess the IFR is about 0.8% in the US. This has a societal dependency of course, probably much higher in less advanced countries.

At least. There were >525k excess natural cause deaths in the United States in 2020, as of the 2/17 CDC data. Nearly a third of all confirmed COVID infections in the US occurred in 2021. The US is closer to 750k deaths than 500k at this point.

It’s not impossible if you arbitrarily exclude deaths as being not COVID-related without evidence in order to push your narrative. Checkmate!

It was impossible in May when more than .1% of NYC was dead... But thanks for the update
