a Bull Market you see who is being humiliated here!  MM spouts nonsense/nonscience while DG states facts.  Yes MM 13 months ago we had 1.5 million cases and a frightening 6% fatility rate of 92,000 deaths.  CDC correctly predicted that rate would fall.  Thankfully they were right! By Sept 1 the death rate was down to 3% and by Jan 1 it was down to 1.9% (15 million cases and 290,000 deaths). Now for the problem...it is stuck at just under 1.8% since February. Anybody that knows anything about the law of diminishing retuns and applies it to Covid stats will see that as the numbers rise the math stabalizes.  Now we are at 33 million cases and 587,000 deaths and when we exit this horror hopefully, if we can get the Trump Cultists to stop lying, in the next few months we will find that the entire run of the pandemic has produced something in the ramge of 40 to 50 million US cases and 700,000 to 800,000* deaths meaning that during the course of the pandemic approximately 1.7 to 1.8% of those who tested positive will have died.  MM's and/or CDC's estimate of an eventual end death rate of 0.2 to 0.4% was, sadly, a bit optimistic.

* Interesting that 800,000 is I believe what one of the UK models showed for the US to the universal raspberrys of the Trump administration!

Still waiting for our 2 super intellects to give a reasonable explanation of why 15% more US citizens died in 2020 than 2019 since they write off Covid deaths as a reason.  Any takers since MM and CRD apparently aren't able to give us an explanation.
