  1. CDC in may put out a revised aggregate death rate of 0.4-0.6% back in May, so closer to 99.5% survival rate. but given how the death rate seems to be dropping since then, could we infer the overall death rate has dropped still lower than 0.5%?

  2.  @svjuno  I agree. But lets just go with what we have for a moment. Take the current reported deaths and subtract the difference between current and yearly average seasonal flu and pneumonia deaths. Now consider there are plenty of reports of murder victims (one i am personally aware of in MN for example), car accidents and heart attacks being listed as COVID deaths, not to mention those early on who werent even tested before/after they died, and many who had covid but in no way died from it. We know the current deaths are inflated, likely by tens of thousands. What would that do to the current reported death rate figures? Now, lets consider all those asymptomatic patients and other symptomatic cases that never got tested/detected and recovered just fine. We have no idea how many people have actually had this already. So lets assume at least 2x as many people have had it already (multiple random sample studies from around the globe suggest 20x higher is reasonable assumption, so i'm being extremely conservative here). What does that do to the death rate? if CDC was reporting 0.5% death rate 2 months ago, and we're seeing falling death rates, despite over counted deaths, and under reported cases, then it is safe to assume the actual death rate is much lower than the CDC reported in May. Doubling the number of reported cases alone (to account for undetected cases) would drop the death rate down to around 0.2%. And that's being conservative.
