The real figure in Covid-19 is the infection mortality rate (IMR), as I mentioned earlier. Case fatality rate would be higher, as testing in symptomatic cases only will reduce the denominator. Large population testing in Germany showed IMR to be 0.3%.. 1/n Image
Even at 1.3% mortality in Germany where testing included mild cases and 8.7% in UK where testings were done in severe cases, >80% of deaths occurred in persons above 65 years. Add to this, their population >65 years which is between 18% to 20%, ...2/n
..and compare this to India's geriatric population of just over 6%. Taken all these factors, in India, IMR will be 0.09% or even less, which is good for allowing herd immunity with reverse quarantine with least possible population deaths.. 4/n
Humans are part of the same ecosystem, as this virus is. Neither can you wish away this fact, nor can you shut yourselves and live in constant denial. 5/n
The biggest problem is human being's innate fear of death, and there is just too much of overflow of information which has collectively fried human brains beyond repair. This denial of natural ecosystem is imminent under the present circumstances, ..6/n
...where too much of unnecessary chaos and panic have been fed into people's mind across the globe by the cacophony of social media and others n/n End of rant
