Hardly anyone died of Covid-19 according to the newest epidemiological study from China, which found a paltry fatality rate of just 0.04% to 0.12%, thus far lower than the seasonal flu,which has a mortality rate of about 0.1%. As a reason for the overestimated fatality of Covid19, the researchers suspect that initially only a small number of cases were recorded in Wuhan, as the disease was probably asymptomatic or mild in many people. Now that we know the mortality rate of Covid-19 to be two times
lower than that of the seasonal flu, why are our governments locking us up and denying us the most fundamental rights and liberties? Clearly not for medical reasons and certainly not for our protection. According to the latest European monitoring report, overall mortality in all countries (including Italy) and in all age groups remains within or even below the normal range so far. In other words, there are no more deaths this year, in Italy and anywhere else in Europe, than there were last year or any other year.
In fact, there are fewer deaths this year.
