Did I say he did?
He works under the NIH, at NIAID, just as the CDC does.
You don’t think any data from the NIAID, was used by the CDC, for that report?
Do you question the credibility of the CDC, the NIAID, or every department under the NIH?
Or do you question the credibility of all of them, under the HHS?
Yes.
Google to the rescue? :zipper_mouth_face:
Hey SB/Mr. Moderator.
Looks as though an argument is being instigated.
And all I did was post this:
The CDC updated the survival rates of those INFECTED with COVID19:
0-19 - 99.997%
20-49 - 99.98%
50-69 - 99.5%
70+ - 94.6%
Yet another person trying to instigate an argument by misrepresenting information, then accusing others of doing the same by correcting the misrepresentations. Bravo.
It’s already been explained that the figures given were estimates, based on various assumptions, from early numbers tabulated in one investigation in Europe. The authors state clearly that those numbers do not represent the expected effects of the virus, in Europe or elsewhere.
So the data I provided, is a misrepresentation?
Look at Scenario 5, Table 1.
Where the data states Infection Fatality ratio :
How is that a misrepresentation, when it is data DIRECTLY from the report?
Keep trying to blame me, for yours and others’, efforts to instigate an argument.
When are we going to get some Moderation here?
We could always get back to the NFL protesting thread… 
No thanks, I’ll take a knee for that.
“How is that a misrepresentation, when it is data DIRECTLY from the report?“
The answer to your question has been given to you by two different members. I’ll try one more time. You said the figures you cited are the survival rates from the virus. That is in fact not true. We explained why it is not true in our posts.
This gotta be referring to Octoberfest.
Is 71k5 trying to make a point with those figures? Perhaps the point is just information? Is the point supposed to be that it is not very deadly for the young? I think that is the point but I don’t know.
Just looking at the numbers. From what I have read eventually about 80% will likely become infected unless there is an effective and widely adapted vaccine. So only .02% or .8 * 0.0002 * 20 - 49 year olds will die. It looks like the point is that because only 20,000 or so Americans between 20 - 49 will die so that is not really such a big deal?
Have you contacted the CDC, to correct them on their report?
I just provided the link to their report/data, that you and others, seem to want to dispute.
The report is not incorrect. There is no reason to dispute their report. Your description of what the report says about the data is incorrect.
That would be me.
I don't like obvious lies, but they are allowed on BLF, and I was in the wrong. 
Where did I say I was trying to “make a point”, when I posted this?

CDC survival rates for COVID19 infections.
That was posted by kennybobby:
I just provided the link to the report data, and pointed out the Fatality data, and stated the resulting Survivor rates from their own Infected Fatality ratio data.
Because if you’re not a fatality, you obviously must be a survivor.
You draw your own conclusions, and dispute the CDC data, that’s your prerogative.
Either you dispute the CDC report or you don’t.
If the Infected Fatality Ratio is 1: .054, that would mean 5.4 out of 100 infected 70+ would die, from being infected with the virus. So that would also mean that the other 94.6 70+ who were also infected, did not die.
Hence a 94.6% survivor rate for 70+ infected with the virus.
How is that “disinformation” , or “obvious lies”?
Not necessarily. Maybe just hiding in the woods and haven’t contracted the virus yet. You’re only a survivor if you didn’t die after getting it.
4th down, time to punt. 
I was responding to NorthernHarrier, not you.
I don't know who was actually talking to you, but it was not me.
I apologize.
It was wrong of me to infer that your conversation was about my post.
I’m sorry.
How long does the National Anthem last? What is the time ratio of that to the game? 2 minutes to 180 minutes… Insignificant. If you don’t like it, change the channel as you would for a commercial & feelings hurt no more.
