One of the most widely circulated pieces of garbage on the pandemic continues to be the claim that COVID-19 is comparable to the flu. If the authors of the rubbish go any deeper than that and try to substantiate the claim, they invariably list the two diseases' respective death rates - and, lo, the rates aren't that far apart! What these guys don't tell you is that there are two measures of death rate, CFR and IFR (Case Fatality Rate and Infection Fatality Rate), and they yield very different results. To make the two diseases seem similar, they use one for the flu and the other for COVID-19.

Both CFR and IFR divide the number of deaths into the number of people with the disease. However, CFR uses the number of diagnosed cases in the denominator while IFR uses the total number of people believed to have been infected - which is a far larger, far less certain number.

CFR = DEATHS / TOTAL CONFIRMED CASES

IFR = DEATHS / TOTAL INFECTIONS.

Now I'm going to save myself a lot of time by passing you to an e-mail already written, sent recently to Chris Martenson, that shows what's going on and that COVID-19 is between 25 and 40 times more deadly than even a bad seasonal flu.
