[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2297925, member: 365308"] We simply do not know the mortality rate amongst the population which will be lower than the case fatality rate. So perhaps I should not quote the 0.08 estimate I had read because like you I have no idea how many of us have had it and not been recorded as a case. The WHO cannot know this either. We do know that it hits hard those who have weakened immunity generally because they are older etc. because we can see who got hospitalised and who died. That is still the elderly with co morbidities in general. This is from Professor Karr's report on actual data on hospitalised cases of UK diabetics which put this into context. Not saying it isn't a nasty virus for very specific parts of the population. We also know that people massively overestimate the numbers of deaths as a proportion of the population too and are very anxious (Ipsos mori, Yougov polls) and nobody seems to talk about the deaths caused by lockdown policies.
