Hi T. I'm not sure which RMN post you were responding to, so I am sticking it here under Basil's post.

Thanks,

Re: DECLASSIFIED: The CIA Explains Consciousne....

The way I read this, Fauci says that the numbers being reported are inaccurate, because they don't factor in the numbers of people that may have the virus, but the symptoms are so mild they either don't even know they have it, or they don't bother going to the doctor, so they don't get tested.

From the article

'the case fatality rate may be considerably less than 1%.'

On the basis of a case definition requiring a diagnosis of pneumonia, the currently reported case fatality rate is approximately 2%.4 In another article in the Journal, Guan et al.5 report mortality of 1.4% among 1099 patients with laboratory-confirmed Covid-19; these patients had a wide spectrum of disease severity. If one assumes that the number of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic cases is several times as high as the number of reported cases, the case fatality rate may be considerably less than 1%. This suggests that the overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza (which has a case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%) or a pandemic influenza (similar to those in 1957 and 1968) rather than a disease similar to SARS or MERS, which have had case fatality rates of 9 to 10% and 36%, respectively.

Here's another one

Coronavirus: ISS, in Italy there are only two deaths ascertained so far due to Covid-19

It's in Italian, so you have to translate it.

Coronavirus: Iss, in Italia i decessi accertati finora per causa del Covid-19 sono solo due

Dr. Silvio Brusaferro says that out of all the dead being reported to have died from the virus, his team at the Higher Institute of Health could only be sure that TWO of those dead actually died from the virus, and the others actually died from complications of other serious diseases.
