Research Projects Reveal Coronavirus Has Lethality Rate in Same Ballpark as Seasonal Influenza
By Jim Hoft
Stanford University researcher Dr. John Ioannidis presented his findings from a recent coronavirus study in Santa Clara, California.
The research project looked at 3,300 people in Santa Clara County in California. The Stanford study revealed that 2.5% to 4.2% of people tested for COVID-19 were positive for antibodies.
The data indicates that there are between 50 to 80-fold more infections in the general population than confirmed cases.
This is a huge development.
In describing his findings Dr. Ioannidis concluded that the coronavirus has an infection fatality rate that is in the same ballpark as seasonal influenza. Dr. Ioannidis added, “It suggests that even though this is a very serious problem, we should not fear. It suggests that we have solid ground to have optimism about the possibility of eventually opening our society and gaining back our lives.”
