The WHO should not be trusted - specifically on covid. I will hold them accountable to their 3,4% claim to the day the people responsible will end up in jail.

> their 3,4% claim

The fact you didn't understand a simple statistic isn't the WHO's fault.

"Globally, about 3.4% of reported COVID-19 cases have died. By comparison, seasonal flu generally kills far fewer than 1% of those infected"."

That is the mother of all misleading comparisons. He, Ferguson and the other quacks must be held responsible. They are the ones who caused all this chaos.

REPORTED.

From that speech

> There is now a total of 90,893 reported cases of COVID-19 globally, and 3110 deaths.

3110 as a percentage of 90,893 is 3.42%

> By comparison, seasonal flu generally kills far fewer than 1% of those infected"

Why are you quoting this? How many people do you think die of seasonal flu each year?

If you're done insulting people maybe you'll actually read and understand.

So far everything you've said, in any thread, about covid-19 has been provably incorrect.

Maybe you should get another hobby, this is obviously not healthy for you. Also: I don't know who you are or what you refer to. Please go away.

Of course the mortality rate will be higher if you only test the people that are hospitalized.... They should have known that.
