Another dumb #COVID19 denial trick. Use the largest possible denominator you can find in order to make the death toll appear "insignificant," whether it's the appropriate denominator or not and ignoring that the pandemic is nowhere near over yet and deaths are *undercounted*.

A 0.1% POPULATION mortality rate is not the counter argument he thinks it is.

Quite true. That 0.12% mortality note serves as the absolute floor of infection fatality estimates for #COVID19, with the true IFR likely being MANY times higher, given how small a percentage of the US population has yet been infected.
