Dr. Raoult is nothing more than a bully lashing out at justified criticism of his bad science.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2020/04/14/didier-raoult-bad-science-bully/ …

I must be a scientific luddite, I guess I'm just stupid, but if I came down with this infection, I would rather be treated at the clinic that has lost 4 patients per 1000 that it has treated for this disease.

It is impossible to compare mortality rates between hospitals for a disease such as this, and conclude anything. For one, they might be admitting less sick patients. They might be transferring the sickest to other hospitals, so they die there instead ( a common comfounder) 1/x

Nobody wants to consider national mortality rates because, once again, the statistics are not clean. But some countries like S. Korea treat aggressively, treat early with their best-guess medicine. And their death rates are MUCH lower than "advanced" countries that not treating.

South Korea is also testing on a huge scale to enable tracking and isolating patients as quickly as possible, which is probably the biggest difference.

Exactly, their low mortality is driven by registering many asymptomatic and less severe cases (so their number is closer to the true mortality of the disease). If you as in Italy basically only test those that are admitted to hospital, mortality will be much higher.

I understand the argument that IHU's numbers are different because they're treating milder cases. But which medical care model is a better way for treating the disease? That's the question.

And, look, the overall case death rate for Bouches du Rhone (which includes Marseille) is by far the lowest of the most populous regions in France. It's about half the death rate for Paris.pic.twitter.com/J8D0b7w1Hc

Without normalizing for illness severity, that chart is meaningless.

Hahahaha, I had more or less the same remark.
