The World Health Organization (WHO) has confirmed what many experts have been saying for months – that sars-cov2 is no more dangerous or “more lethal” than seasonal flu.<\/p>\n
The “best estimates” of the Head of the “Emergency” Program within the WHO show a death rate of 0.14%<\/p>\n
The WHO leadership made the announcement during a special meeting<\/a> of the 34-member executive bureau. This meeting took place on 5 October 2020.<\/strong><\/p>\n No one in the press reported what happened. In fact, it seems that the WHO did not report either.<\/p>\n During the meeting, Dr Michael Ryan, director of the WHO’s Emergency Department, said they believed that about 10% of the world’s population had become infected with sars-cov2. This is their “best estimate.” This estimate is much higher than the official number of cases (approximately 35 million).<\/p>\n Dr Margaret Harris, one of the WHO spokespersons, confirmed the estimate, saying it was based on the average results of all seroprevalence<\/a> studies worldwide.<\/p>\n Even if the WHO tried to present this information as a bad thing – Dr. Ryan even said that this would mean that “the vast majority of the world remains in danger” – it is actually good news. And it confirms, once again, that the virus is not at all as “lethal” as everyone predicted.<\/p>\n The global population is about 7.8 billion people<\/a>. If 10% were infected, that means 780 million cases. The overall death toll attributed to Sars-Cov-2 infections at the time of the announcement (back in October) was 1,061,539.<\/p>\n This is a mortality rate of approximately 0.14%<\/strong>. Almost the same as seasonal flu.<\/p>\n 0.14% is more than 24 times lower than the “provisional figure” given by the WHO in March, of 3.4%<\/a>. This figure was used in the models based on which states of emergency were given and various draconian policies were implemented.<\/strong><\/p>\n In fact, given the excessive reporting of alleged Covid deaths, the mortality rate is probably even less than 0.14%, and could make Covid look much less dangerous than the flu.<\/p>\n
