Topic	Is this post about Corona 1% mortality rate accurate?

Measles is the best example of the fallacy of low case fatality rates meaning a disease "isn't dangerous." Anti-vaxxers love to post charts about how the CFR for measles dropped to 1 in 1,000 cases, and that the overall mortality rate dropped to 0.2 per 100,000 general population in the US. Then they run for the hills when you ask them what 1-in-1,000 mortality means when the average number of recorded cases prior to the vaccine was 500,000 cases per year in the US, or when you ask them what 0.2 per 100,000 general population mortality is in a population of 330 million. Because 500 dead children per year kinda makes their candlelight vigils for Timmy who had hives look a little embarrassing. --- Well allons-y, Alonso! <cite>DarkRoast posted [p:942049584] in Is this po...
