A) “Coronavirus has a 3% Case Fatality Rate.”
True only if you count the deaths relative to known cases which is very small.
B) “Ya but millions of cases are not counted and millions don’t even have symptoms.”
Ok so the CFR is therefore way lower.
It’s either or.

If the US has 4,000 deaths from 100,000 cases then the CFR is 4%.
Very high but 100K cases is not a lot in a country the size of the US.
But if the US has really now 1 million cases that we just didn’t count yet due to low testing, the 4,000 deaths is a CFR of 0.4%.
Get it?

The Case Fatality Rate is (for example) 4% due to 4K cases out of 100K known cases. But those same people say that the REAL case count is now 1 million and that 40,000 of them (4%) will die.
Um, the 4% is based on having now only 100K cases; not 1 million!
Which is it?

“What will you say in a few weeks if the US will have 40,000 deaths?” Simple. That due to being so contagious, the real Coronavirus case count is probably 10 million and therefore the 40K dead is still a 0.4% CFR. The real count is always above the known count.
