Locogringo, that article is garbage. It argues that the death rate of coronavirus is actually lower than what's reported because it assumes that the number of people actually infected by the coronavirus is much higher than the number of people who have been tested and confirmed to have it. Look at countries like South Korea. They have a very aggressive testing program. Chances are that the number of confirmed cases of coronavirus is close to the actual number of people infected. Compare that with Italy. The fatality rate of coronavirus is already pretty damned high. Confirmed cases continue to rise at an astronomical rate. When all is said and done, the death rate in Italy might go down a bit as the number of confirmed cases gets closer to the actual number of infections, but there's no denying that Italians are already dying at a significant pace. Bottom line is that the article jumps to conclusions based on a really bad assumption. All to push a dangerous narrative, that coronavirus is no more fatal than seasonal flu. That's anti-vax logic.
