For weeks, the nation\u2019s economy has been under lockdown to curb the spread of the Wuhan Coronavirus. It\u2019s contagious. That\u2019s true, but in the span of a few days, the entire COVID narrative has virtually collapsed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most people are more likely to wind up six feet under because of almost anything else under the sun other than COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CDC just came out with a report that should be earth-shattering to the narrative of the political class, yet it will go into the thick pile of vital data and information about the virus that is not getting out to the public. For the first time, the CDC has attempted to offer a real estimate of the overall death rate for COVID-19, and under its most likely scenario, the number is 0.26%. Officials estimate a 0.4% fatality rate among those who are symptomatic and project a 35% rate of asymptomatic cases among those infected, which drops the overall infection fatality rate (IFR) to just 0.26% \u2014 almost exactly where Stanford researchers pegged ita month ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until now, we have been ridiculed for thinking the death rate was that low, as opposed to the 3.4% estimate of the World Health Organization, which helped drive the panic and the lockdowns. Now the CDC is agreeing to the lower rate in plain ink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, ultimately we might find out that the IFR is even lower because numerous studies and hard counts of confined populations have shown a much higher percentage of asymptomatic cases. Simply adjusting for a 50% asymptomatic rate would drop their fatality rate to 0.2% \u2013 exactly the rate of fatality Dr. John Ionnidis of Stanford University projected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comparing COVID-19 to previous seasonal and pandemic influenzas reveals a similar fatality rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
