The CDC confirms remarkably low coronavirus death rate.

You think that might have something to do with the massively intrusive restrictions you hate having an impact?

the rich privileged lock down supporters not going to read anything that will disrupt their enjoyment of the lockdowns they don't care about immigrants, women, people of colour, the disabled, single mothers, jamaican barbers who are going to sink into poverty and starvation as thier livelyhoods, businesses and jobs disappears
Most of the people like squeezer think Covid is a sign of an impending apocalypse
CDC has already published reports that Influenza kills more than Covid
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/planning-scenarios.html#five-scenarios
That link doesn't compare influenza to covid. Maybe they did compare them, but you need another link. It seems odd you would say this since the covid numbers are already higher than any flu year in the last 10 years. (And the best case scenario in the 5 parameters you linked to calls for many more deaths than the flu.)
Scroll down
Look at the ratios and percentages
Now you know
And knowing is half the battle
Still not seeing them say anywhere "influenza kills more than Covid". Given covid death numbers are already much higher than the worst flu season of the last 10 years, i don't see how they could say that.
If you are trying to imply that their symptomatic case fatality ratio numbers imply it is less lethal than flu, I'm not sure where you are getting that either. If I recall, the CFR for flu is usually considered to be about 0.1% and their best case here is 0.2%. their most likely is 0.4% (unless the table is badly mislabeled and those numbers are supposed to be 0.002% and 0.004%, but those numbers would be laughable given what we have seen so far. )

Its lower than that. Asymptomatic people aren't getting tested for the most part. Think about this, were testing about 0.1% of people, so 99.9% of the population aren't getting tested so 99.9% of the people who aren't dying but have covid aren't getting added to that calculation. Its more like 0.00000026%. Then if youre not over 80 or living in a LTC home its more like 0.00000000000000026%
They are approximations. Everyone has fake numbers at least im not pretending mine are real. The point is the chances of getting seriously ill are miniscule.
There's certainly funny stuff going on with the numbers. That I am pretty sure about.
Here's what I do know- according to Worldometers, while COVID-19 cases are going up worldwide, the number of COVID-19 deaths are declining. Just about everywhere. At the beginning of May, the U.S. was averaging about 2K-2.5K new deaths a day. Now they're down to 1K, and trending downward. Ontario's hospitalization rate has also declined, as well as their death rate, despite upticks on the confirmed amount of cases.
I'm no scientist so I don't know what the reality is with those numbers, but I find those trends highly interesting.

Time to end this sham of a lockdown and get things opened up. Hopefully Ford and the "health table" can see that the number of deaths in Ontario are down substantially since Stage 1 started 2 weeks ago. It is now time to start Stage 2. Next Monday is when he ought to do it as if falls smack in the middle of his 2 to 4 week period of declining deaths. Using number of new cases is a stupid metric to base his decission on.
Yeah. I really don't know why officials and the media keep parroting the overall numbers when the general feeling is that they're meaningless. The more important metrics- hospitalization and deaths- are going down, so what are we waiting on?
