The mortality rate is a function of how testing is done, as someone else in the thread pointed out. You can't compare them directly; you need a metric like excess deaths. What interests me, though, is not the absolute level but the lack of exponential blowup in those numbers

The 12% death rate is a pretty big clue that the number of daily new cases is a large underestimate. These takes of yours are interesting perspectives combined with mistaken assumptions and applications of those perspectives.

i’m really enjoying watching my friends lose their parents and grandparents at rates higher than anywhere else, and watching the elderly get treated with pain management instead of oxygen. T’is not terrible at all, really.

Their daily rate always seems to be steady because they are unable to present up-to-date numbers: they lag by weeks. Would it hurt you to do some research before peddling the same tired sh*t?https://mobile.twitter.com/DavidSteadson/status/1259828923753476096 …
