I think the 1-1.5% number is true more broadly but not for this study, since this study is only looking at hospital admissions. So it's not a true CFR because they're only looking at the fatality rate within a subset of cases, i.e., those requiring hospitalization.

I was also wrong in terms of what mapped over to what, and I confused ICU admissions with deaths. The fatality rate is 4.5% of hospital admissions. They looked at 466 admissions and had 21 deaths = 4.5%.



To be clear, though, I'm not endorsing the study or saying it's cause for celebration.

the old classic approximation was a 1% fatality rate for cases, and a 10% fatality rate for hospitalizations, so an observed 5% rate in hospitalizations matches up with a halving of disease severity in omicron that has been the driving force behind the "mild" propaganda.

it's still extraordinarily bad, especially since we have no idea what the long term chronic effects are of the new variant, what the effect is on children, and now we have like ten times the number of cases.

The soonest pcr test I could get was two days out at one of the big state-run sites. All the pharmacies are booked up for a week, urgent care testing sites were also all booked up for at least 3 days and half of them just said they weren't taking any more appointments, try again later! This is in Denver

(I don't mean this aggro towards you, I just mean to say that I have totally stopped so much as allowing a single word of what she has to say to enter my brain anymore)

same with chise. I know what their position is, it's going to be whatever they can think of to say to encourage people to be less safe about covid.

tbh greenwald isn't wrong about everything. In fact in a lot of cases he is right. But glenn purposefully courts rightwing extremists and says things that will make them happy because that is the majority of his audience now. everything he has to say about covid is strictly anti-lockdowns, anti-masking, anti-vaxx, at all times. He tries to paint it as being something else but he never, ever ever posts anything about covid that isn't strictly in support of those viewpoints. About non covid topics he's frequently correct
