https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/07/us/politics/trump-coronavirus-fact-check.html


The president has served up a series of false and misleading statements as he seeks to counter uncomfortable facts about the spread of Covid-19 and questions about his push to reopen the economy.

    Leading German Virologist: ‘COVID-19 Less Deadly Than We Thought’
    German
    scientist, Professor Hendrik Streeck has been studying groups of
    subjects in his country and has reached a number of compelling
    provisional findings regarding the viral behaviour of the new
    Coronavirus.


    <i><u>Streeck also explains why he thinks that draconian
    lockdown’ measures were decided in haste, and may ultimately be deemed
    to have been completely unnecessary.



    He also presented data which
    gives an indication of an “Infected Fatality Rate” (IFR), eg. the
    percentage of people infected who will end up dying. New findings show a
    COVID-19 infection fatality rate of between 0.24 – 0.36% (as opposed to
    Neil Ferguson who claims the IFR to be just under 1%, perhaps
    0.8-0.9%). Previous interviews with UnHerd, with experts like Johan
    Giesecke who believes the IFR is closer to 0.1%, or one in a thousand.
