WHO Accidentally Confirms COVID Is No More Dangerous Than Flu

October 4, 2020, the World Health Organization conducted a special meeting of its executive board, during which they announced that 10% of the world has been infected by SARS-CoV-2.

Dr. Michael Ryan, executive director of WHO’s Health Emergencies Program, released the numbers; WHO spokesperson Dr. Margaret Harris confirmed them later. Ryan expressed concern that the pandemic was still ongoing, but apparently didn’t do the math when it comes to comparing COVID-19 to annual flu numbers. Put plainly, Off-Guardian explains:

“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.”

Not only that, if the true COVID numbers are as inflated as some claim, it makes COVID-19 likely even less dangerous than flu.
