Society's Child
The WHO's top brass made this announcement during a special session of the WHO's 34-member executive board on Monday October 5th, it's just nobody seemed to really understand it.
In fact, they didn't seem to completely understand it themselves.
At the session, Dr Michael Ryan, the WHO's Head of Emergencies revealed that they believe roughly 10% of the world has been infected with Sars-Cov-2. This is their "best estimate", and a huge increase over the number of officially recognised cases (around 35 million).
Dr. Margaret Harris, a WHO spokeswoman, later confirmed the figure, stating it was based on the average results of all the broad seroprevalence studies done around the world.
As much as the WHO were attempting to spin this as a bad thing - Dr Ryan even said it means "the vast majority of the world remains at risk." - it's actually good news. And confirms, once more, that the virus is nothing like as deadly as everyone predicted.
The global population is roughly 7.8 billion people, if 10% have been infected that is 780 million cases. The global death toll currently attributed to Sars-Cov-2 infections is 1,061,539.
That's an infection fatality rate of roughly or 0.14%. Right in line with seasonal flu and the predictions of many experts from all around the world.
0.14% is over 24 times LOWER than the WHO's "provisional figure" of 3.4% back in March. This figure was used in the models which were used to justify lockdowns and other draconian policies.
In fact, given the over-reporting of alleged Covid deaths, the IFR is likely even lower than 0.14%, and could show Covid to be much less dangerous than flu.
None of the mainstream press picked up on this. Though many outlets reported Dr Ryan's words, they all attempted to make it a scary headline and spread more panic.
Apparently neither they, nor the WHO, were capable of doing the simple maths that shows us this is good news. And that the Covid sceptics have been right all along.

hedgewick But it's deadly and we all need a vaccine...!Amen! Drive that pilum of toxicity straight into my vein, buddy! What could go wrong, vaccinating an entire world with unknown, experimental and untested vaccine tech developed by a military industrial powerhouse of occulted secrecy! Afterall, this is certainly the deadliest disease we've had since, what? H1N1? Hong Kong Flu? Spanish Flu? No no, its definitely worse than the Black Plague! Just like I saw in the National Geographic documentary: [Link]
(sarcasm detected!)
The news media just drops the story and goes on to the next attempted fraud. TV mesmerized airheads don't notice this kind of fakery, though.
Makes me wonder how much, if any of this is 'A.I. chaos chess'.
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the signs?
That's a quote from the BBC news page today!!!
they're saying that it might help until we have a vaccine for the covid 1984 lmfao
BTW, & FWIW, actually, BCG is used in treating bladder cancer and is one of the few types of chemotherapy that works.
